Abstract
The paper proposes laminated sandwich-elements containing electrorheological composite as a structural element, which enable designing novel thin-wall structures with a locally varying rigidity and vibrostability for aerospace engineering, ship-building, high-speed devices in mechanical engineering (machine tools, robots), in transport means (controlled springs), in instrument fabrication, etc
