This paper proposes a new MR(magneto-rheological) brake utilizing composite modes of MR fluid. Its basic structure and design scheme are almost the same with the conventional MR brake, but for slots in a rotating disk or shell. The slots enable the proposed MR brake to use a new mode, so-called, ‘direct cutting chain mode’as well as shear mode, which results in increasing the braking force(almost 150% compared to the case without slots). Some experimental results show that the proposed MR brake provide the sufficient braking force to be adopted for small portable force feedback devices.

This paper presents vibration control performances and stability evaluations of railway vehicle featuring controllable magnetorheological(MR) damper. The MR damper model is developed and then incorporated with the governing equations of motion of the railway vehicle which includes vehicle body, bogie and wheel-set. A cylindrical type of MR damper is devised and its damping force is evaluated by considering fluid viscosity and MR effect Design parameters are determined to achieve desired damping force level applicable to real railway vehicle. Subsequently, computer simulation of vibration control and stability analysis is performed using Matlab Simulink.

This paper proposes a new bed stage system for vibration attenuation in patient compartment of ambulance. The bed stage which consist of four MR dampers can isolate vibration in the vertical, rolling and pitching directions. After evaluating dynamic characteristics of MR damper, 1/4 bed stage model is formulated. The sky hook controller is then utilized for vibration control. Finally, control responses of the bed stage equipped with MR dampers are presented.

This paper presents an optimal design of magnetorheological(MR) damper based on analytical methodology and finite element analysis. The proposed MR damper consists of MR valve and gas chamber. The MR valve is constrained in a specific volume and the optimization problem identifies geometric dimensions of the valve structure that maximize the pressure drop of the MR valve or damping force of the MR damper. In this work, the single-coil annular MR valve structure is considered. After describing the schematic configuration and operating principle of MR valve and damper, a quasi-static model is derived based on Bingham model of MR fluid. The magnetic circuit of the valve and damper is then analyzed by applying the Kirchoff’s law and magnetic flux conservation rule. Based on the quasi-static modeling and the magnetic circuit analysis, the optimization problem of the MR valve and damper is built. The optimal solution of the optimization problem of the MR valve structure constrained in a specific volume is then obtained and compared with the solution obtained from finite element method.

A new MR cylinder with built-in valves using MR fluid (MR valve) is suggested and fabricated for fluid control systems. The MR fluid is a newly developed functional fluid whose obvious viscosity is controlled by the applied magnetic field intensity. The MR cylinder is composed of cylinder with small clearance and piston with electromagnet. The differential pressure is controlled by the applied magnetic field intensity. It has the characteristics of simple, compact and reliable structure. The size of MR cylinder and piston has ${\varphi}30mm{\times}300mm\;and\;{\varphi}28.5mm{\times}120mm$ in face size, respectively and 0.8mm in gap length. Through experiments, it was found that the differential pressure is controlled by the applied magnetic field intensity under little influence of the flow rate, which corresponds to a pressure control valve. The differential pressure of 0.47MPa and contact force of 320N were obtained with the input current of 1.5A. The rising time of force was 1.1s in step response of a manipulator using the MR cylinder. The effectiveness of the MR cylinder was also demonstrated through the force control.

This paper is concerned with a study on the control effect of the MR damper using the cutout piston. The MR damper has passive damping force by the oil pressure and controllable damping force by the magnetic effect. As the velocity of the MR damper's piston increases the passive damping force increases and the ratio of the controllable damping force to the total damping force is decreased. Consequently, the control performance of the MR damper is reduced according to the increase of the velocity. In this paper, the cutout piston concept is applied to the MR damper to improve MR damper's control performance by reducing the passive damping effect. The MR damper with the cutout piston has been designed and manufactured and its hydraulic and electromagnetic analysis has been performed to predict its performance. The control performances of the MR damper with the cutout piston are verified through the comparison of experiment results and simulation results.

수동동조질량감쇠기의 진동제어 효과는 질량감쇠기와 구조물과의 동조로 인하여 나타나고 있다. 그러나 바닥판 구조물의 질량과 강성의 변화로 인하여 실제 구조물에 있어서 비동조 현상이 일어나기도 한다. 이러한 상황에서는 수동동조질량감쇠기의 성능이 비효율적이며 경우에 따라서는 구조물의 진동을 증가시키기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 기계나 사람에 의한 바닥판 구조물의 진동을 줄이기 위하여 자기유체감쇠기의 적용성을 알아보고자 한다. 준 능동제어와 groundhook 제어 알고리즘을 적용하여 준능동감쇠기의 성능과 수동질량감쇠기의 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 또한 비동조 상황에서의 준능동감쇠가와 수동질량감쇠기의 견인성을 비교 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 자기유체감쇠기는 동조상황에서 우수한 제어 성능을 가지고 있으며 비동조 상황에서도 우수한 견인성을 보여주고 있다.
