Theoretical Studies on Magnetorheological Fluid Brake

چکیده
A Magneto-Rheological (MR) fluid brake is a device to transmit torque by the shear force of an MR fluid. An MR rotary brake has the property that its braking torque changes quickly in response to an external magnetic field strength. In this paper, the design method of the cylindrical MR fluid brake is investigated theoretically. The mechanical part is modeled using Bingham’s equation, an approach to modeling the magnetic circuit is proposed in this work. The equation of the torque transmitted by the MR fluid within the brake is derived to provide the theoretical foundation in the cylindrical design of the brake. Based on this equation, after mathematical manipulation, the calculations of the volume, thickness and width of the annular MR fluid within the cylindrical MR fluids brake are yielded.

Squeeze Film Dampers (SFD) are commonly used for passive vibration control of rotor-bearing systems. The Magnetorheological (MR) and Electrorheological (ER) fluids in SFDs give a varying damping characteristic to the bearing that can provide active control schemes for the rotor-bearing system. A common way to model an MR bearing is implementing the Bingham plastic model. Adding this model to th...
