A BELLOWS-DRIVEN MOTION CONTROL SYSTEM USING A MAGNETO-RHEOLOGICAL FLUID

Development of a semi-active car suspension control system using Magneto-Rheological damper model

This paper describes the development stages and performance of a solar powered thermoelectric refrigerator. It is carried out by installing a conventional thermoelectric refrigerator in a stand alone photovoltaic system for household usage. This photovoltaic driven refrigerator is powered by a field of solar panels, a battery bank, a solar charge controller, and an inverter. In this project, th...

Development of a Semi-active Car Suspension Control System Using Magneto-rheological Damper Model

In this paper, the development of a semiactive suspension control of quarter car model using fuzzy-based controller has been done. The quarter car model to be used here can be described as a nonlinear two degrees of freedom system which is subject to excitation from different road profile. The semi-active control is designed as the fuzzy control inferred by using two single input rule fuzzy mod...

Magneto-Rheological Fluid Device as Artificial Feel Force System on Aircraft Control Stick

The conventional feel system in any aircraft occupies large space in the cockpit and has complicated designs. The primary objective of this research is to develop an artificial feel force system that can overcome some drawbacks of the current feel force system. A novel feel system using magneto-rheological (MR) fluid is constructed to precisely control the shear stress under the magnetic field....

A Rheological Model for Magneto-rheological Fluids

Magneto-rheological fluids (MRF) are suspensions of particles which can be magnetized. MRF exhibit fast, strong and reversible changes in their rheological properties when a magnetic field is applied. A commercially available damping system that takes full advantage of the controllable technology of MRF and delivers valveless damping control appeared on passenger vehicles in 2003. Further comme...
