A key feature of magnetorheological fluid is its variability rheological properties in which upon exposing this fluid, the viscosity changes accordingly. Hence nature can be implemented various engineering applications. To understand influence a (MR) damper, it essential to study flow behaviour using computational and numerical methods. The main objective work estimate external magnetic field o...

Magnetorheological (MR) dampers have received a great deal of attention due to their being a potential technology to conduct semi-active vibration control and it has become vitally important to describe the dynamic responses of these devices in an effective manner in order to develop successful control algorithms. To this end, a considerable effort has been devoted in the literature to study th...

The paper presents the semi-active vibration control based on the Skyhook algorithm which benefits from the adaptively tuned inverse magnetorheological (MR) damper model. The structure of the inverse model consists of the atan function and a linear viscous damping component. The proposed algorithm was tested by simulation of the quarter-car suspension model subjected to multiple bump road excit...

In this paper, an intelligent controller to control a smart base-isolated masonry structure is proposed. The smart base isolation consists of rubber bearings and a magnetorheological damper. This semi-active scheme takes advantage of the low power requirement of magnetorheological devices to achieve structural control. The controller is capable of mapping the behaviour of the controlled structu...

Training equipment used by professional sportsmen has a great impact on their sport performance. Most universal exercisers may help only to improve the general physical condition due to the specific kinematics and peculiar resistance generated by their loading units. Training of effective techniques and learning of psychomotor skills are possible only when exercisers conform to the movements an...

u(t) c 1 2 k 3 m f c Abstract A preliminary study was conducted to investigate numerical models that can be used to simulate the dynamic behaviour of a damper based on magnetorheological (MR) materials. Several articles presenting the results of experimental testing and mathematical modelling have been published recently. The goal for this study was to implement a selected model into the finite...

This paper presents the modeling and simulation of a magnetorheological damper based semiactive suspension using variable structure controllers. Passive suspension systems tend to limit the trade-off between passenger comfort and road handling. But Semiactive suspensions can reduce this trade-off margin and dynamically respond to the damping requirements. Active suspensions provide the best res...
