A polyurethane-based magnetorheological elastomer (MR elastomer) was designed, and the magnetorheological effect (MR effect) under shear mode was systematically tested by the designed test set. The results show that the relative MR effect increases with the exterior magnetic filed strength and decreases as the incentive amplitudes increasing. The preload displacement also directly determines the relative MR effect and too large deformation will make the MR effect decreased sharply. But the incentive frequency has no very obviously influence on the relative MR effect.

Due to the properties of controllable stiffness and damping, a novel isolator based on magnetorheological elastomers is introduced in this article. According to the experimental results, the initial vertical stiffness and damping coefficient of the magnetorheological elastomer isolator are 1.14 × 106 N/m and 495.8 N s/m, respectively. The relative increase in stiffness and damping is 66.57% and 45.55%, respectively. The isolation transmissibility and root mean square of acceleration response are reduced by 41.2% and 65.3%, respectively. To describe the magnetic-induced stress–strain relationship of the anisotropic magnetorheological elastomers, a theoretical model is presented as magnetorheological elastomers working in squeeze/elongation and shear modes simultaneously. Then, the stiffness formula relating to the magnetic field, strain, and the other demanding parameters is deduced. The analytical results of the stiffness formula are fairly in agreement with the experimental data.
