Facility for Investigating the Vibration of the Plate With Magnetorheological Fluid

This study briefly outlines the structure of the test facility for investigating the behaviour of a sandwich plate filled with magnetorheological (MR) fluid. The plate has two outer layers made of aluminium and the space between them is filled with MR fluid. The test facility is engineered within the framework of the research project focused on vibration reduction in beams and plates using MR fluids. The paper outlines the design of the test facility and the measurement equipment. Measurement data are summarised, including the free and forced vibration of the plate.
