Paper Abstract
Variable stiffness fluidic flexible matrix composites (f2mc) are investigated for vibration isolation through analysis and
experiments. The fluidic flexible matrix composites are novel structures that have been shown to achieve significant
changes in stiffness through simple valve control. The objective of this research is to develop analysis tools to
investigate the f2mc variable modulus system for semi-active vibration isolation and to validate the results through
experiment. A nonlinear analytical model of an isolation mount based on the f2mc tube with a proportional valve is
developed. Analysis results indicate that the f2mc based isolation mount is effective for reducing the force transmitted to
the foundation. Simulation studies demonstrate that the transmissibility ratio can be tuned via a proportional valve,
where the resonant frequencies and damping can be regulated. Experimental results agree with analysis results and
validate semi-active vibration isolation using a proportional valve.
