The modular interface, for damping mechanical vibrations, has a base (10), a loading link (28) and a support (14) connected to the base through a pre-tensioning elastic tube (12). Energy conversion units (16,18) are between contacts (20,22) at the base and contacts (24,26) at the loading link. Similar energy conversion units (30,32) are between contacts (34,36) at the support and contacts (38,40) at the loading link. The energy conversion units can have a piezo-electric actuator, a shape memory retention actuator, an electro- or magneto-rheological fluid actuator or damper, or an electro- or magneto-restrictive actuator. |
