A non-linear flow channel implementation method in magnetic gap space of magneto-rheological valve is proposed in this paper. The involved magneto-rheological valve in the method has a non-line flow channel which is formed by magnetic gap space between oil inlet disc and oil distribution disc, the concentric annular trapezoidal concave of the surface of the oil inlet disc, the concentric annular trapezoidal convex of the surface of the oil distribution disc, the corresponding convex and concave trapezium between the inlet oil disc and the oil distribution disc, the surface of oil distribution disc and oil inlet disc. The method is beneficial, because the maximum magneto-rheological effect is produced by placing the magneto-rheological fluid in the magnetic field whose intensity is maximum and not more than magneto-rheological fluid saturation intensity, and the magneto-rheological fluid channel length is lengthen in the limited space of the magnetic gap, we can further poly-magnetic by using of separated magnetic sheeting under condition of taking full advantage a limited poly-magnetic cross-section of the magnetic field. The method can significantly enhance the magneto-rheological fluid pressure difference under the same magneto-rheological fluid and flow requirements, size requirements, response time requirements and energy requirements.

Polymer gels swollen with a magneto-rheological suspension are highly elastic materials with considerable magnetic susceptibility. In this work the magnetic field induced deformation and motion of these magnetic polymer systems is discussed. We present a continuum material model by introducing magnetic equations into non-linear elasticity theory. The material properties of these magnetic rubber-like substances are characterized with a Langevin type magnetization and a neo-Hookean strain energy function. The non-linear character of the equations that describe the material properties and the nonhomogeneity of the deformation lead to a unique deformation mechanism. In order to demonstrate the characteristics of the magnetic field induced deformations we present numerical and finite element calculations and compare them with experimental results.

In order to overcome shortcomings of traditional hydraulic control valve, the variable non-linear flow channel method and device is proposed, which can make magneto-rheological fluid channel in the magnetic gap space variable non-linear. In the magnetic gap space setting separated magnetic pressure tablets make magneto-rheological fluid non-line fluid along the separated magnetic pressure tablets, so the magneto-rheological fluid channel length is lengthen and it can increase the utilization of a limited magnetic line. Under the condition of magnetic gap size fixedness, improving pressure difference size of controllable fluid of magnetic fluids can achieve goals of energy conservation and reducing the size of magneto-rheological valves.

Abstract Mechanical components, such as springs, dampers and mass, alter and influence an engineered system’s motion based upon a system’s position, velocity and acceleration, respectively. This paper aims to discover and develop another element (dubbed the damper) which provides a force proportional to a system’s jerk (i.e., the derivative of acceleration) to better engineer a system’s response. By utilizing the known applications of jerk in motion planning and control theory, existing possible physical implementations and uses of jerk and the jerk element are discussed in relation to its influence on the system’s response, specifically vibration. Using a Buckingham Pi approach, the theoretical background of the jerk element is presented and possible physical parameters are combined to show how the jerk element could be created from common elements and parameters. The most promising approach of varying the magnetic field of existing magneto-rheological dampers is developed to give an example of the jerk element along with the difficulties and concerns in developing the jerk element. This paper serves less of a purpose towards answering all questions of the jerk element, but rather focuses more on posing the appropriate questions which sets the stage for an easily realizable future jerk element which can improve system performance.

This paper examines the characteristics of stick-slip phenomena between the glass plate and Magneto-Rheological Elastomer (MRE) surface. Stick-slip phenomena are the spontaneous jerking motion that occurs while two objects are sliding over each other, usually accompanied by noise. Stick-slip is generated when it involves discontinuous frictional degradation when moving from static friction to dynamic friction. The phenomena can lead to uneven wear patterns, vibration and squeal noise which cause a shorter lifespan for the corresponding mechanical elements. MREs are kind of function materials to consist of a polymeric matrix with embedded ferromagnetic particles. Mechanical properties of the MREs can be controlled by the application of magnetic fields. The magnetic field-based controllability can be applied to the control of stick-slip phenomena. The friction experiment is conducted with the Reciprocating Friction Tester (RFT). The sliding speed of the RFT should be in low-speed conditions in order to make the stick-slips relatively easy to occur. A uniform magnetic field and a weight load are applied to the MRE sample to observe the effect of various experimental parameters on the movement of the stick-slip. In addition, frictional sounds due to the stick-slip phenomenon under different loads and magnetic field strength are measured and analyzed. The results of this experiment show that as the strength of the magnetic field increases, the difference in stiffness between the wipers-glass decreases, mitigating fricatives. The result is expected to be well applied to low-noise automotive wipers based on the controllability of friction behavior and squeal noise.

In this paper, the effect of particle concentration and magnetic field on the tribological behavior of magneto-rheological (MR) fluid is investigated using a pin-on-disc tribometer. The wear loss and friction coefficient are measured to study the friction and wear properties of MR fluid. The morphology of the worn pin is also observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) in order to analyze the wear mechanism. The results obtained in this work show that the wear loss and friction coefficient decrease with increasing particle concentration under the magnetic field. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the magnetic field has a significant effect on improving tribological properties of MR fluid, especially the one with high particle concentration. The predominant wear mechanism of the MR fluid has been identified as abrasive wear.

With the development of theory that research on Magneto-Rheological Fluids (MRF), the MRF have been used in many fields in our life. The electrical characteristics of MRF can be widely used in automatic control, medical, automotive, aircraft manufacturing and many other areas .Firstly, this article have derived the formula of MRF between capacitance and Dielectric constant, made the Capacitors which can load the MRF. And then we measure the change of capacitance which is filled with the MRF when the time of magnetic field change, And we also measure the sensitivity of the dielectric constant of different concentrations of MRF as the magnetic field changes. And at last, we have made the curve of the capacitance - magnetic induction intensity the experimental results have been analyzed. We have the conclusion that when the magnetic field increases, the dielectric constant is also increases, resulting in increased capacitance of the conclusions of MRF. Introduction

Magneto-rheological fluids (MRF) are commonly applied in MRF brakes and vibration damping. The apparent viscosity dependence with respect to the magnetic field has been addressed in detail in the state of the art. The aim of this paper is to experimentally study the vibration effects on the particle chain-like structures and, as a consequence, the shear stress variation applied to the fluid. Three vibration configurations have been applied to a ferromagnetic cylinder rotating between two magnetic poles filled with MRF a “Z-vibration” where the generated displacement is along the rotation axis of the shearing cylinder, a “θ-vibration”, tangential to the cylinder, and an “R-vibration”, normal to the cylinder surface. First we focus on the vibration mode characterisation in free air, and then when plunged in the fluid. In a second step, we measure the reactive torque generated on the clutch under different magnetic field intensities with different rotation speeds and vibration amplitudes. It appears that the “R-vibration” configuration is providing the most influence, up to 20% of torque reduction observed at moderate B field. The “Z-vibration” and the “θ-vibration” configurations respectively have less influence on the torque, nevertheless vibrations always tend to decrease the corresponding yield stress in the MRF.

With the purpose of studying the main influence on the cylinder-typed magneto-rheological fluid (MRF) clutch, the relationship between the output of shear stress and its affecting factors is presented in this paper; through theoretical derivation from the Bingham Model and the cylinder-typed shear model, the stress born by the MRF in the clutch is analysed, and the affecting factors on the clutch is also simulated and verified through experiments. The study shows that as the magnetic field strengthens, the shear stress of the cylinder-typed MRF clutch grows linearly, with proportionality constant at 0.162; the increase of shear rate, relevant to the magnetic field strength, makes little difference to the torque output, with proportionality constant at 0.00026B. The results indicate that mechanical-electrical integration of clutch devices can be achieved through the control of magnetic field output of the electromagnet.
