In this paper, a test model of a vibration isolation system with magnetorheological (MR) damper is introduced, and a simplified model using the time delay to describe the dynamic process of mechanical response and electromagnetic response for the MR damper is presented. Based on simulation, the performance evaluation with different control strategies, especially, the effects of time delay are investigated. The results show that the performance of the controlled system is highly dependent on the choice of the control strategies, and the effectiveness of semi-active on-off control is significantly determined by the time delay from the command current signal to the magnetic field of the MR damper.

Semi-active isolators offer significant improvement in performance over passive isolators. These systems benefit from the advantages of active systems with the reliability of the passive systems. In this work we study a vibration isolation system with a magnetorheological (MR) damper. The experimental investigation of the mechanical properties of a commercially available linear MR damper (RD-1005-3) was conducted next. The mathematical Bouc-Wen model was adopted to predict the performance of MR damper. In addition, a modified Bingham model has been developed to characterize the damper behavior more accurately and efficiently. The measured hysteresis characteristics of field-dependent damping forces are compared with the simulation results from the described mathematical models. The accuracy of a damping-force controller using the proposed method is also demonstrated experimentally. Finally, a scaled quarter car model is set up to study the performance of the control strategy. The experimental results show that with the semi-active control the vibration of the quarter car model is well controlled.

Novel Concept

This paper presents a novel concept in active pneumatic vibration isolation. The novelty in the concept is in utilizing an air-spring-orifice-accumulator combination to vary the natural frequency as well as inject damping into the system per requirement, thereby eliminating the need for a hydraulic cylinder or a magnetorheological damper. This continuously variable natural frequency and damping (CVNFD) technology is aimed at achieving active vibration isolation. For analysis purposes, a particular application in the form of pneumatic seat suspension for off-road vehicles is chosen. A mathematical model representing the system is derived rigorously from inertial dynamics and first principles in thermodynamics. Empirical corelations are also used to include nonlinearities such as friction that cannot be accounted for in the thermodynamic equations. An exhaustive computational study is undertaken to help understand the physics of the system. The computational study clearly depicts the CVNFD capability of the vibration isolation system. An experimental test rig is built to experimentally validate analytical and simulation modeling of the system. Experimental verification corroborated the variable natural frequency and damping characteristic of the system observed through computational simulations.

Semi-active suspensions based on magnetorheological (MR) dampers are receiving significant attention, especially for control of vibration isolation systems. The nonlinear hysteretic behavior of MR dampers can cause serious problems in controlled systems, such as instability and loss of robustness. Most of the developed controllers determine the desired damping forces which should be produced by the MR damper. Nevertheless, the MR damper behavior can only be controlled in terms of the applied current (or voltage). In addition to this, it is necessary to develop an adequate inverse dynamic model in order to calculate the command current (or voltage) for the MR damper to generate the desired forces as close as possible to the optimal ones. Due to MR dampers being highly nonlinear devices, the inverse dynamics model is difficult to obtain. In this paper, a novel inverse MR damper model based on a network inversion is presented to estimate the necessary current (or voltage) such that the desired force is exerted by the MR damper. The proposed inverse model is validated by carrying out experimental tests. In addition, a comparison of simulated tests with other damper controllers is also presented. Results show the effectiveness of the network inversion for inverse modeling of an MR damper. Thus, the proposed inverse model can act as a damper controller to generate the command current (or voltage) to track the desired damping force.

This paper presents experimental results from the development of a rear suspension system that has been designed for a mountain bike. A magnetorheological (MR) damper is used to balance the need of ride comfort with performance characteristics such as handling and pedaling efficiency by using active control. A preliminary seven degree-of-freedom mathematical model has also been developed for the suspension system. Two control algorithms have been tested in this study: on/off control and proportional control. The rear suspension system has been integrated into an existing bike frame and tested on a shaker table as well as a mountain trail. Shaker table testing demonstrates the effectiveness of the damper. Trail testing indicates that the MR damper-based shock absorber can be used to implement different control algorithms. Test results indicate that the control algorithm can be further investigated to accommodate rider preferences and desired performance characteristics.

To improve the vibration reduction performance of two-stage vibration isolation systems for marine engines under wide frequency band and multifrequency excitation, the magnetorheological (MR) damper is introduced into the vibration isolation system and an optimal controller is designed. Taking the test results of MR damper dynamic characteristics as sample data, the forward and inverse models of the MR damper are identified by the least square method and neural network (NN) method respectively, and the identification results are applied to semiactive control of the two-stage isolation system. Based on the analysis of vibration source, a six-degree-of-freedom mechanical model of two-stage system based on the MR damper is established. The optimal controller taking the minimum force transmitted from the engine to base as the control objective is designed. The system model and numerical simulation analysis are established using MATLAB. The results show that the isolation effect of optimal control is better than that of passive vibration isolation in the whole frequency band. In addition, good control effect is achieved in the low-frequency resonance region which is most concerned in engineering, which is of great significance to further improve the vibration reduction performance of marine engines.

Magnetorheological (MR) fluid damper has been designed, fabricated and tested to find the stiffness and damping characteristics. Experimentally the MR damper has been tested to analyse the behaviour of MR fluid as well as to obtain the stiffness for varying magnetic field. MR damper mathematical model has been developed for evaluating dynamic response for experimentally obtained parameters. The experimental results show that the increase of applied electric current in the MR damper, the damping force will increase remarkably up to the saturation value of current. The numerical simulation results that stiffness of the MR damper can be varied with the current value and increase the damping forces with the reduced amplitude of excitation. Experimental and theoretical results of the MR damper characteristics demonstrate that the developed MR damper can be used for vibration isolation and suppression.

Vibration Isolation System

The use of the CRF vibration isolation system with zero natural frequency for machinery and equipment in the Earth's gravity field requires stabilization of motion because of its high susceptibility. For this purpose, an additional spring element with a low elastic coefficient “k1” and a semi-active damper “c (t, x, v, ff)”, was included in the vibration isolation system and parallel-attached to the CRF vibroisolator. Investigation of the effect of the additional element to stabilize the motion of the mechanical system was carried out by a numerical simulation of its motion. The simulation was based on a physical and mathematical model of the system including the spring and the magnetorheological damper (MR). The mathematical model was then used to develop a dynamics simulation program of the system and conduct simulations using sample data in order to study transitional processes and their stability. Simulation results indicate a substantially improved stability of motion in the system. Stability studies of motion were also combined with an analysis of power distribution in the system. The aim of this study was to determine energy efficiency of the system developed, defined as the ratio of the RMS power of the exciting force to RMS power of the elastic force. The resulting energy efficiency of CRF vibroisolation was equal to 5168 for a simulation period of 6 seconds.
