Abstract: Magnetorheological (MR) elastomer is a new MR material, whose rheological characteristics are controllable and invertible. It has the advantage of very fast response and low energy consuming, and becomes more and more attractive because of its wide prosperity in engineering application. Based on current research, some problems in MR elastomer isolator’s design, such as the method of developing practical MR elastomers, the material and design of magnetic circuit, etc., are systematically studied. Some important issues are put forward for further study.

Key words: vibration and wave, MR elastomer, isolator, design, magnetic circuit, rheological
