Magneto-Rheological Dynamometer Dynamic Model Research

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...

Magneto-Rheological Damper Modelling

A comparative analysis of different models of a Magneto-Rheological (MR) damper was done. Three models were tested: a non-linear ARX, a semi-phenomenological and a phenomenological. Although the non-linear ARX model shown the best result, this is a black-box model with limited use. However, the Semi-Phenomenological model represented an excellent option considering the physical meaning of its p...

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE EVALIATION OF 200 kN MAGNETO - RHEOLOGICAL DAMPER

Magneto-rheological damper (MR damper) has been expected to control the response of civil and building structures in recent years, because of its large force capacity and controllable force characteristics. Recent study is to the application of controllable dampers for reducing earthquake response of buildings and/or wind induced sway. The dynamic characteristics of the MR damper have to be cla...

Discrete-time Dynamic Model of a Magneto-rheological Damper for Semi-active Control Design

Semi-active control systems have been widely studied over the last 20 years. The range of applications includes automotive suspensions, seismic vibration mitigation, large bridges vibration control, knee prosthesis, among others. Semi-active actuators have a complex dynamics, and interaction between actuator and plant cannot be ignored in control design. This is specially true for magneto-rheol...
