Magnetorheological elastomers are an important area of study in non-classical engineering materials. These are smart materials, in which some of the physical properties are dependent on the applied magnetic field. This unique property allows to suggest new, innovative practical applications. It is therefore relevant to carry out studies in the possible application of magnetorheological elastomers in machine construction. The present article presents the results of study regarding the properties of the discussed materials subject to compressive stresses. Particular attention is given to the observed growth of surface area of mechanical hysteresis loops, which is evidence of the possibility to change the damping properties of magnetorheological elastomers. This property can be utilized in the construction of different types of machines and devices. These mostly applies to energy absorbers such as active vibration absorbers.
Key words: magnetorheological elastomers / compressive stresses / relative damping / storage modulus / loss modulus
