A Comprehensive Study on the Optimal Design of Magnetorheological Dampers for Improved Damping Capacity and Dynamical Adjustability

Purpose: We aim to provide a systematic methodology for the optimal design of MRD improved damping capacity and dynamical adjustability in performing its function. Methods: A modified Bingham model is employed simulate considering MR fluid’s compressibility. The parameters that describe structure property fluid are systematically examined their contributions dynamically adjustability. response surface method optimize force adjustable coefficient more practical setting related parameters. Results: simulation system effectively shows hysteretic characteristics MRDs our common sense understanding gap width yoke diameter have significant effects on MRD. By taking typical device setup, an increase by 33% 17%. It also shown applicable other types MDR devices. Conclusion: compressibility one main reasons proposed optimization methods can improve MRD’s performance stage.
