ACTIVE FORCE GENERATION/ISOLATION SYSTEM EMPLOYING MAGNETO RHEOLOGICAL FLUID (MRF)

摘要

A system for reducing vibrations in a rotating system uses a variable viscosity medium that is redistributed in a housing connected to the rotating system. Specifically, the medium is responsive to a control signal that is generated as a function of rotational speed of the rotational system. The control signal activates a triggering device that promotes a change in viscosity of the medium such that it is distributed within the housing in a manner that reduces vibratory loads.
