The aim of this work was to design, produce and evaluate a demonstrator to visualize the magneto-induced damping behaviour of materials. In contrast to standard materials, the damping coefficient of iron particle filled silicone rubbers can be controlled by a semi-active magnetic field. This field effect should be characterized in order to evaluate the suitability of these magnetorheological silicone elastomers for the use in different configurations and applications.
