The aim of the work is to investigate power flows in the vibration reduction system equipped with a magnetorheological (MR) damper and energy regeneration. For this purpose, experiments were conducted in the test rig compound of the shaker and the vibration reduction system (electromagnetic harvester, MR damper, spring) which are attached to the sprung mass. The experimental data acquired under sine excitations enabled us to analyze instantaneous power fluxes, as well as a rate of inertial energy changes in the system.

This paper presents a new kind of vibration reduction and impact resistance isolator system based on magnetorheological technique, and its experiment results. The vibration and impact experiments were designed using MTS hydraulic loading system. There were many load cases being applied in the experiment with different mass of the model, exciting forces, and controllable electricity of MR damper (Magnetorheological Damper). The experiment results indicate that this isolator system can control the vibration response very well, especially near the natural frequency of the system; and the isolator system has a good performance in the impact experiment too, the response acceleration was evidently reduced, but the characteristic of MR damper was different form its performance in vibration experiment.

The reported mathematical models of magnetorheological (MR) damper cannot make a good tradeoff among reflecting the damper’s nonlinear behavior and controllability. Damping characteristic experiments have been conducted on a MR damper. A composite polynomial model has been proposed integrating the experimental investigation and the polynomial model, in which the plot of polynomial coefficient vs. current is divided into two sections to reflect the property of the current saturation, meanwhile, the affections of exciting amplitude and frequency are considered in this model. The reverse model of the proposed model is easy to be obtained, so it is convenient to realize an open-loop control system to achieve a desirable damping force. The parameters of this model are identified using experimental data in a certain frequency and amplitude, as well as diverse currents. Compared numerical simulation with experimental data, it is verified that the proposed model can accurately predict the damping force without modifying the parameters of the model when frequency, amplitude and current changed.

Recently MRF damper -which has a significant controllable damping force - used frequently in many active and semi-active suspension systems. However, MRF damper needs controller to estimate the desired force to dissipate the occurred vibration instantaneously. PID controller is one of the effective feedback controllers which shows robustness and simplicity in control MRF dampers, but still the parameters of the PID controller under study to find out the optimum values. This study focused on the vibration control using Magneto-rheological (MR) damper on a FSAE quarter car suspension test rig to study and obtain the optimum running condition. The test rig was designed, modified and then tested using a P-controller integrated with MR damper, unbalance mass used as disturbance and analyzed using LABVIEW software in time and frequency domains. The natural frequency obtained was 2.2 Hz were similar to the actual FSAE car natural frequency. Based on the acceleration against time graph with different proportional gain value the optimal value for proportional gain, Kp was 1. Hence, the experiment work could be used as the initial stage to study and develop a robust controller to suppress vibration on a car.

Abstract The study investigates the behaviour of an electrical interface incorporated in a MR damper-based vibration reduction system powered with energy recovered from vibration. The interface, comprising the R, L and C elements, is connected in between the coil in an electromagnetic electric generator and the control coil in the MR damper and its function is to convert the output voltage from the generator. The interface model was formulated and computer simulations were performed to find out how the parameters of the interface should influence the frequency responses of the vibration reduction system.

Its primary purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive investigation on its dynamic performance of MR damper under high impact load. A test had been firstly done in order to identify its high shear viscosity of MR fluid. Then, its thermal performance of MR damper under high impact load is analyzed in order to aid its structure design of MR damper intended for weapon recoil mechanisms applications and improve its performance of elimination of heat. Further, Experimental analysis and performance evaluation of MR damper under impact load have been done by numerical simulation and hardware-in-the-loop simulation, including its acceleration response and pressure response of back cavity under different flow coefficient and the same inputting current, and its acceleration response and pressure response of back cavity under the same flow coefficient and different inputting current. Based on these simulation results, the shear-thinning phenomena and its dynamic response under saturated input current are analyzed and some useful conclusions are made. Finally, experimental results indicated that the developed MR damper under high impact load can achieve a good controllability for recoil applications.

Smart materials are being applied more and more widely in semi-active vibration reduction systems. Actuators built with their use are characterized by nonlinearities and hysteretic effects. Their omission in mathematical descriptions may lead to deterioration of the vibration reduction systems. For that reason, it is important to take into account these negative phenomena associated with the actuators at the controller synthesis stage. One method for determining the control laws in semi-active vibration reduction systems that is frequently discussed in academic literature is “Clipped-LQR”. The present paper proposes modification of that method to allow inclusion in the controller synthesis of the hysteretic properties and other nonlinearities of an actuator. The method developed was verified by determining the controller for the semi-active suspension of a machine operator’s seat. A magnetorheological damper was used as an actuator. The dynamic properties of the foam covering of the operator’s seat were included in model. Simulation tests were performed on the vibration reduction system and function of vibration transmissibility was determined. The semi-active vibration reduction system tested was compared to a passive system. The considerations presented herein relate to the semi-active suspension of a machine operator’s seat, and the method presented may be applied to other controlled systems with many degrees of freedom.

This paper is based on the experimental study for design and control of vibrations in automotive vehicles. The objective of this paper is to develop a model for the highly nonlinear magnetorheological (MR) damper to maximize passenger comfort in an automotive vehicle. The behavior of the MR damper is studied under different loading conditions and current values in the system. The input and output parameters of the system are used as a training data to develop a suitable model using Artificial Neural Networks. To generate the training data, a test rig similar to a quarter car model was fabricated to load the MR damper with a mechanical shaker to excite it externally. With the help of the test rig the input and output parameter data points are acquired by measuring the acceleration and force of the system at different points with the help of an impedance head and accelerometers. The model is validated by measuring the error for the testing and validation data points. The output of the model is the optimum current that is supplied to the MR damper, using a controller, to increase the passenger comfort by minimizing the amplitude of vibrations transmitted to the passenger. Besides using this model for cars, bikes, and other automotive vehicles it can also be modified by retraining the algorithm and used for civil structures to make them earthquake resistant.

Abstract The paper summarises the results of laboratory testing of an energy harvesting vibration reduction system based on a magne-torheological (MR) damper whose control circuit incorporates a battery of bipolar electrolytic capacitors (current cut-off circuit). It is de-signed to reduce the undesired effects in vibration reduction systems of this type, associated with the increasing amplitude of the sprung mass vibration under the excitation inputs whose frequency should exceed the resonance frequency of the entire system. Results have demonstrated that incorporating a current cut-off circuit results in a significant decrease of sprung mass vibration amplitudes when the frequency of acting excitation inputs is higher than the resonance frequency.
