Phase 2 will develop chaotically controlled vibration suppression systems utilizing electrorheological (ER) materials. (Identify embedded periodic orbits within a chaotic attractor; Determine the local dynamics of those orbits; Stabilize an orbit around a fixed point coordinate.) Rheological Solutions has targeted the noise control, electronics and optics, precision mechanical components, and aerospace industries. Applications range from pointing and tracking systems used in anti-missile defenses to medical imaging equipment to high speed printing systems.
