Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) isolators are semi-active seismic restrained devices that utilised elastomeric materials to produce controllable stiffness. The existing passive conventional isolator is not efficient in various ground motions, while the laminated MRE isolator is only flexible horizontally. An innovative new concept of the MRE isolator differs from that of the laminated steel-rubber layered isolator presented in this research. The study focuses on a new MRE isolator designed by adopting the engine mounting concept based on the electromagnetic circuit simulation studies. The...
