Abstract:
A vehicle active damper includes a damping actuator that is provided between a radiator and a vehicle body so as to be interposed in a substantially vertical direction, and a coupling member that elastically couples between the vehicle body and an engine. The damping actuator is formed from a elastic modulus-variable member having an elastic modulus that varies according to the strength of an applied magnetic field. The coupling member transmits vibrations of the engine to the vehicle body along a substantially vertical direction.
