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.

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.

Aiming at the motion track controlling of the semi-active magnetorheological damper based above-knee prosthesis (MRAKP), according to the LaSalle’s invariant set theorem, a kind of nonlinear compute torque (NCT) control law for the track controlling of the AKMR, is proposed to promote the robustness and performance of the intelligent above-knee prosthesis. The proposed NCT controller includes the feedforward control and the feedback control. The former one is used to compensate the nonlinear terms in the dynamic model of the MRAKP, such as the Coriolis force, the centripetal force, and the gravity. The feedback control, utilizing a nonlinear PD controller, adaptively adjusts the control gain coefficients and reduces the system error. On these bases, numerical simulations on the MRAKPare carried out to analyze the performance of the proposed NCT controller in ADAMS and simulink. For comparing, the track controlling performance of the PD controller and the CT+PD controller are also presented in the paper. Simulation results indicate that the proposed NCT controller for the MRAKP is able to adaptively adjust the control gain coefficients with lower track error and higher robustness than the conventional PD controller and the CT+PD controller.

And Performance

In this study, an magnetorheological (MR) damper has been designed based on its energy harvesting capability which combines the key benefits of energy generation (reusing lost energy) and magnetorheological damping (controllable damping force). The energy harvesting part has a magnet and coil arrangement to generate energy. A two-dimensional axisymmetric model of the proposed magnetorheological damper is developed in COMSOL Multiphysics where different magnetic field properties are analysed generally by finite element method. Finally, the energy harvesting capability of the proposed magnetorheological damper model is tested by a universal testing machine and observed through an oscilloscope. The maximum induced output voltage was around 0.7 V.

And Performance

A suspension system is one of the integral parts of a hyperloop capsule train, which is used to isolate the car-body from bogie vibration to provide a safer and comfortable service. A semi-active suspension system is one of the best candidates for its advantageous features. The performance of a semi-active suspension system relies greatly on the control strategy applied. In this article, Skyhook (SH) and mixed Skyhook-Acceleration Driven Damper (SH-ADD) controlling algorithms are adopted for a nonlinear quarter-car model of a capsule with semi-active magnetorheological damper. The nonlinear vertical dynamic response and performance of the proposed control algorithms are evaluated under MATLAB Simulink environment and hardware-in-loop-system (HILS) environment. The SH controlled semi-active suspension system performance is found to be better at the first resonance frequency and worse at the second resonance frequency than the passive MR damper, but the mixed SH-ADD controlled semi-active suspension system performs better than the passive at all frequency domains. Taking the root-mean-square (RMS) value of sprung mass vertical displacement as an evaluation criterion, the response is reduced by 58.49% with mixed SH-ADD controller and by 54.49% with the SH controller compared to the passive MR damper suspension.

And Performance

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.

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.
