Selective controlled base isolation system with magnetorheological dampers.

A base isolation system composed of low damping isolation bearings and magnetorheological (MR) fluid dampers is described. The MR fluid changes its properties under the influence of a magnetic field resulting in a damper with characteristics that may be modified in real time. This feature enables op...
