Abstract

A soft-matrix magnetorheological material vibration isolation system includes a first mounting plate. A first layer of soft-matrix magnetorheological material has opposing first and second faces, the first face coupled to the first mounting plate. A first electromagnet has opposing first and second pole faces, the first pole face coupled to the second face of the first layer of soft-matrix magnetorheological material. A second layer of soft-matrix magnetorheological material has opposing first and second faces, the first face coupled to the second pole face of the first electromagnet. A second mounting plate is coupled to the second face of the second layer of soft-matrix magnetorheological material, the second mounting plate adapted to be coupled to a load mass.
