Abstract

MR(Magneto-Rheological) damper generates the magnetic shear force due to the cohesiveness of MR fluid influenced by a magnetic field. MR fluid consists of magnetic particles and a base liquid. In the present study, the damping forces of MR damper were investigated for density 1.3, 1.5 and $1.7g/cm^3$, and viscosity 1000 and 10000cp, and for the change of orifice shapes. It was found that the increase in the density and viscosity of MR fluid could change the damping force of MR damper due to the magnetic effects. Also, the damping forces on orifice shapes increased as the orifice gap and length decreased. These results showed that the properties of MR fluid and orifice shapes were important for the optimum design of MR damper.

MR 댐퍼는 자기장의 영향으로 인한 MR 유체의 응집현상으로 자기전단력을 발생한다. MR 유체는 기존유체와 자기입자로 구성되어 있다. 본 연구에서 밀도 1.3, 1.5, $1.7g/cm^3$ 그리고 점도 1,000, 10,000cP를 가지는 MR 유체 6종과 오리피스 형상 6종에 대한 MR 댐퍼의 댐핑력을 조사하였다. MR 유체의 밀도와 점도 변화에 따라서 MR 댐퍼의 댐핑력이 변하였다. 오리피스 형상변화에 대한 댐핑력은 오리피스 갭이 적고 길이가 짧을수록 크게 나타났다. 이들 연구결과로부터 MR 댐퍼의 최적설계를 위해서는 MR 유체의 선정과 오리피스 형상이 중요한 설계변수임을 확인하였다.
