Abstract
The paper considers a controlled vibration protection of the multi-axis vehicle with hydraulic shock absorbers that are based on “smart” fluid. The dependence is experimentally determined for the viscous and elastic components of the resistance force of the electrorheological fluid as a function of intensity of the electric field. Investigation of vertical oscillations of the system “workplace-driver” with a controlled vibro-protection system is provided. The dependence is established for the relative displacement of weight as function of external perturbation at different values of the control signal.
