Dynamic Testing of Magnetic Elastomer Material Prototypes

Abstract

This research is aimed at obtaining the experimental dynamic characteristics of new materials (magnetoactive elastomers exposed to the magnetic field). It demonstrates that the strength of a magnetic field has a considerable effect on the increase in the resonant frequencies of tested materials. For tests, we used a vibration stand equipped with virtual meters to visualize the experimental results on a computer display. We herein present an example of recording the frequency response on the magnetic elastomer sample input and output when exposed to vibrations caused by the unbalanced motor forces.
