Magnetorheological (MR) materials show variations in their rheological properties when subjected to varying magnetic fields. They have quick time response, in the order of milliseconds, and thus are potentially applicable to structures and devices when a tunable system response is required. When incorporated into an adaptive structural system, they can yield higher variations in the dynamic response of the structure. This study presents a detailed analysis of dynamic characteristics of adaptive beam based on MR materials. The relationship between the magnetic field and the complex shear modulus of MR materials in the pre-yield regime is researched using oscillatory rheometry techniques. A structural dynamic modelling approach is discussed and vibration characteristics of MR adaptive structures are predicted for different magnetic field levels. In addition to the model predictions, actual MR adaptive beam is fabricated and tested. Both studies illustrate the vibration minimization capabilities of the MR adaptive beam at different magnetic field levels. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
