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...

We designed and validated a rotary magnetorheological (MR) damper with a specified damping torque capacity, an unsaturated magnetic flux density (MFD), and a high magnetic field intensity (MFI) for unmanned vehicle suspension systems. In this study, for the rotary type MR damper to have these satisfactory performances, the roles of the sealing location and the cover case curvature of the MR dam...

In order to build high-precision and highefficient MR damper system model, a multi-domain unified modeling method was proposed. Firstly, based on the analysis of a MR damper semi-active suspension system model, various fields of MR, such as structure, magnetic field, control and mechanics, were studied to find the main influencing parameters. And then for the multi-domain coupling characteristi...

Semi active control systems are becoming increasingly popular because they offer reliability of passive systems combined with high performance and versatility of active control systems but with low power consumptions. As Magnetorheological (MR) fluids can produce good controllable damping force under application of magnetic field, MR damper can be used as effective element in semiactive vibrati...

The main purpose of this paper is to study various configurations of a magnetorheological (MR) damper valve and to evaluate their performance indices typically dynamic range, valve ratio, inductive time constant and pressure drop. It is known that these performance indices (PI) of the damper depend upon the magnetic circuit design of the valve. Hence, nine valve configurations are considered fo...

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique has achieved a considerable success in solving nonlinear, nondifferentiable, multi-modal optimization problems. Currently, PSO is broadly applied in several scientific and engineering optimization applications. This paper introduces an identification of magnetorheological (MR) damper’s parameters using the PSO algorithm to introduce a more simple and ...

In this paper, the efficacy of magnetorheological (MR) dampers for seismic response reduction is examined. To investigate the performance of the MR damper, a series of experiments was conducted in which the MR damper is used in conjunction with a recently developed clipped-optimal control strategy to control a three story test structure subjected to a one-dimensional ground excitation. The abil...

This paper is concerned with a new fully adaptive control scheme for vibration isolation using a semi-active MR damper installed between ground and first floor, which is composed of two adaptive controllers. One is an adaptive inverse controller which can give necessary input voltage to MR damper so as to generate specified reference damping force to be acted on a controlled structure. The inpu...
