Bifurcations and chaos of a vibration isolation system with magneto-rheological damper
Magneto-rheological (MR) damper possesses inherent hysteretic characteristics.We investigate the resulting nonlinear behaviors of a two degree-of-freedom (2-DoF) MR vibration isolation system under harmonic external excitation.A MR damper is identified by employing the modified Bouc-wen hysteresis model.By numerical simulation, we characterize the
