Abstract
In the present work, to achieve high braking performance with restricted size, characteristics of magneto-rheological (MR) fluid brake is numerically investigated considering different magnetic core shapes. As a first step, structural configuration of the MR brakes are proposed with four different magnetic core shapes, such as single flat, single inclined, dual flat and dual inclined. To estimate braking performance of the proposed MR brakes, electromagnetic analysis is carried out and the results of magnetic field intensity distribution are observed. Based on the electromagnetic analysis results, braking torque of the MR brake is estimated according to magnitude of current input and results are discussed. It is observed that enhanced braking torque can be achieved by adopting the modified magnetic core shape under limited small size of the MR brake.
