Abstract
When forces are input to a mount in a plurality of directions, an ECU changes the magnitude of a coil excitation current to change the strength of a magnetic field. At this moment, the elastic force of the mount can be changed in directions in response to the plurality of directions in which the forces are input using a plurality of magnetorheological elastomers (a brim-shaped MRE portion and a cylindrical MRE portion) in which magnetic particles are arranged in different manners.
