An electrically tunable vibration absorber based on the strong {delta}E effect of Terfenol-D has been developed. A general description of tuned vibration absorbers is presented along with a description of the magnetostrictive effects that make an electrically tunable Terfenol-D vibration aborber function. It is emphasized that the large modulus changes achievable with the proposed magnetostrictive vibration absorber arise as a consequence of the stiffening of the crystal lattice as the magnetic field is increased from the demagnetized state to magnetic saturation. This is in contrast to the small modulus changes often reported in the literature which are achieved by operating smart materials between their open- and short-circuit states. Experimental results are presented that show agreement with prior art and demonstrate control of a magnetostrictive actuator resonant frequency between 1375 Hz and 2010 Hz by electrically varying the elastic modulus of a magnetostrictive material. This operating principle is then implemented to obtain high bandwidth tunability in a Terfenol-D vibration absorber.
