Investigation of Mr Fluids in the Oscillatory Squeeze Mode
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper summarises the results of laboratory testing of three commercially available magnetorheological (MR) fluids operated in the oscillatory squeeze mode. Tested fluids include the Basonetic 204 and Basonetic 4035 (BASF) and MRF-122EG (Lord Corporation). The oscillatory squeeze mode produces large forces at small displacements. This feature may be well utilised in fabrication of new MR devices. The purpose of the experiments was to evaluate the suitability of MR fluids for applications in MR vibration dampers being developed under the current research project. The results enable a comparative analysis of investigated fluids and verification of phenomena encountered in the oscillatory squeeze mode and reported in the literature.

A magnetorheological fluid damper for robust vibration control of flexible rotor-bearing systems: A comparison between sliding mode and fuzzy approaches
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...
متن کاملHomogeneous Electrorheological Fluids Applied to Vibration Control
The purpose Electrorheological (ER) fluids are capable of providing continuously variable damping forces in response to an electrical stimulus. Many prototype ER dampers, described in the literature, have been based upon exploiting the variable shear properties of ER fluids. Recently, an alternative mode of operation, namely squeeze-flow, has been identified and investigated. Furthermore, most ...
متن کاملStudy on the mechanism of the squeeze-strengthen effect in magnetorheological fluids
Current magnetorheological (MR)fluids have the limitation that their yield stresses are not strong enough to meet some industrial requirements. X. Tang, X. Zhang, and R. Tao [ J. App. Phys87, 2634 (2000)] proposed a method to achieve high-efficiency MR fluids by study of squeeze-strengthen effect. But there is little report on its mechanism. This paper aims to investigate this effect through ex...

In this paper, effects of critical parameters, namely initial gap, squeezing speed and applied current were statistically investigated on the mechanical behaviour of MR fluid in squeeze mode. A set of 17 experiments was designed using Design Expert 7 software to gather data from response surface methodology (RSM). The responses in terms of compression modulus were then calculated. An MRF132-DG ...
