Project description
Absorption of vibration energy has two omportant applications: the protection of structures against environmental hazards and the use of renewable energy from natural sources. This research develops a semi-active vibration absorption control strategy to alter the parameters of smart materials such as magneto rheological or electro rheological fluids such that absorption capacaty can be improved.
