This paper presents a new small-sized damper featuring magneto-rheological(MR) fluid which can be applied to vibration control system. The proposed MR damper consists of cylinder, piston, a couple of bearings, oil-seals and magnetic circuit which has two coils. In this damper, approximately 5cc of MR fluid is used. The damping force of the MR damper is designed to be followed by linear shear-mode Bingham-plastic model. In order to verify the performance of the MR damper, an experimental apparatus is established. In the experimental test, the damping force of the MR damper is measured with respect to time, displacement and velocity. In addition, the time response of MR damper is measured when 1A of step current is applied. Finally, the proposed small MR damper is applied to vibration control. In this process, a simple 1-DOF system is modeled and controlled using PID controller.

In this study, we investigated the effects of longterm exposure to ionic liquid (IL) on Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (MR-1). MR1 was acclimated through repeated exposure to IL. The acclimated strain was named as S. oneidensis SH-1 (SH-1) and compared with MR-1 in various aspects including morphology, cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH), motility, and fatty acid. Compared to the MR-1, SH-1 showed elongated cell shape on scanning electron microscopy. Upon exposure to IL, hydrophobicity of SH-1 (28.2%) was higher that of MR-1 (3.3%). In contrast, motility of SH-1 (7 mm) was lower than that also of MR-1 (22 mm), and branched chain fatty acid of SH-1 was lower than that of MR-1, 27.6% and 41.1%, respectively.

반능동형 MR댐퍼 착륙장치는 MR유체가 환형 유로를 지날 때 유체감쇠력 및 자장 제어 감쇠력을 발생시키는 댐퍼이다. 환형 유로를 지나는 MR 유체의 경우 필연적으로 불완전 발달 유동이 발생하게 되어, 이는 유체 감쇠력을 포함하는 댐퍼 내력 계산에 오차를 발생시키는 원인이 된다. 이로 인해 댐퍼 구조적 파라미터 설계 및 제어 이득 선정이 부정확해지며, 착륙장치의 동특성 및 충격흡수성능 저하를 초래하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 MR댐퍼 환형 유로의 입구영역에서 발생하는 추가적인 감쇠력을 고려한 MR댐퍼 착륙장치의 수학적 모델을 유도하였다. 본 논문에서 유도한 수학적 모델링을 MR댐퍼 착륙장치의 설계 및 최적화 과정에 적용한다면 좀 더 정확한 내력 예측으로 우수한 성능의 MR댐퍼 착륙장치를 설계할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper deals with an application of Magneto-Rheological (MR) fluid to a small size mount for precision equipment of automobiles. MR fluid is known as a class of functional fluids with controllable apparent viscosity of fluid by the applied magnetic field strength. A typical MR fluid is a suspension where pure iron particles of $1{\sim}20mm$ in diameter are dispersed in a liquid such as mineral oil or silicone oil, at the concentration of $20{\sim}40$ vol%. Electro magnetic coil is installed at the bottom of a variable-damping mount filled with MR fluid, and its performance was investigated experimentally. Furthermore, the properties of the MR Mount on experimental Study were explained analytically by mechanical model of the MR mount.

In this work, a new type of MR damper with additional flow path in piston is proposed and damping force characteristics are numerically evaluated. Flow-mode type MR damper is considered and mathematical model is established based on Bingham rheological model of MR fluid to obtain accurate prediction of damping force characteristics. Damping force of the proposed MR damper are calculated with respect to piston velocity and input current. In addition, investigation on damping force characteristics is carried out according to number of additional flow path and excellence of the proposed MR damper is demonstrated.

This paper presents design and control of a quarter-vehicle magneto-rheological (MR) suspension system for ECS (electronic control suspension). In order to achieve this goal, MR shock absorber is designed and manufactured based on the optimized damping force levels and mechanical dimensions required for a commercial mid-sized passenger vehicle. After experimentally evaluating dynamic characteristics of the manufactured MR shock absorber, the quarter-vehicle MR suspension system consisting of sprung mass, spring, tire and the MR shock absorber is constructed in order to investigate the ride comfort and driving stability. After deriving the equations of the motion for the proposed quarter-vehicle MR suspension system, the skyhook controller is then implemented for the realization of quarter-vehicle MR suspension system. In order to present control performance of MR shock absorber for ECS, ride comfort and driving stability characteristics such as vertical acceleration of sprung mass and tire deflection are experimentally evaluated under various road conditions and presented in both time and frequency domain.

Semiactive control systems have received considerable attention for protecting structures against natural hazards such as strong earthquakes and high winds, because they not only offer the reliability of passive control systems but also maintain the versatility and adaptability of fully active control systems. Among the many semiactive control devices, magnetorheological (MR) fluid dampers comprise one particularly promising class. In the field of civil engineering, much research and development on MR fluid damper-based control systems has been conducted since this unique semiactive device was first introduced to civil engineering applications in mid 1990s. In 2001, MR fluid dampers were applied to the full-scale in-service civil engineering structures for the first time. This state-of-the-art paper includes a detailed literature review of dynamic models of MR fluid dampers for describing their complex dynamic behavior and control algorithms considering the characteristics of MR fluid dampers. This extensive review provides references to semiactive control systems using MR fluid dampers. The MR fluid damper-based semiactive control systems are shown to have the potential for mitigating the responses of full-scale civil engineering structures under natural hazards.

Magnetorheological(MR) 댐퍼는 적은 용량의 전력을 사용하고 반응속도가 빠른 장점 때문에 구조물의 내진제어에 적당하여, 근래에 주목받고 있는 새로운 장치이다. MR 댐퍼는 반능동 제어 장치로써, 능동 질량감쇠기와는 다른 특성을 갖는다. 즉 필요한 제어력을 제어신호로 직접 생성해 낼 수 없는 대신에 MR 댐퍼의 입력전원을 제어하여 간접적으로 제어한다. 따라서 MR 댐퍼의 반능동 제어장치로써의 특성을 고려하는 효과적인 제어기법이 요구된다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 지진에 대한 구조물의 응답을 줄이기 위해서, MR댐퍼를 제어할 수 있는 반능동 제어기법을 Lyapunov 안정성 이론을 바탕으로 제안하고자 한다. 제안방법을 검증하기 위해, 전단형 MR 댐퍼를 1층과 2층에 설치한 수치예제를 수행하였다.

Building structures generally have inherent low damping capability and hence are vulnerable to seismic excitations. Control devices therefore play a useful role in providing safety to building structures subject to seismic events. In recent years semi-active dampers have gained considerable attention as structural control devices in the building construction industry. Magneto-rheological (MR) damper, a type of semi-active damper has proven to be effective in seismic mitigation of building structures. MR dampers contain a controllable MR fluid whose rheological properties vary rapidly with the applied magnetic field. Although some research has been carried out on the use of MR dampers in building structures, optimal design of MR damper and combined use of MR and passive dampers for real scale buildings has hardly been investigated. This paper investigates the use of MR dampers and incorporating MR-passive damper combinations in building structures in order to achieve acceptable levels of seismic performance. In order to do so, it first develops the MR damper model by integrating control algorithms commonly used in MR damper modelling. The developed MR damper is then integrated in to the seismically excited structure as a time domain function. Linear and nonlinear structure models are evaluated in real time scenarios. Analyses are conducted to investigate the influence of location and number of devices on the seismic performance of the building structure. The findings of this paper provide information towards the design and construction of earthquake safe buildings with optimally employed MR dampers and MR-passive damper combinations.

MR은 우수한 연조직 대비와 기능 정보를 보여줄 수 있지만, 방사선치료에서 정확한 선량 계산을 위해서는 CT영상의 전자밀도 정보가 필요하다. 방사선치료(Radiotherapy) 계획 워크플로우에서 MR영상과 CT영상을 융합하기 위해 환자는 일반적으로 MR과 CT영상 방식 모두에서 스캔된다. 최근에 딥러닝기술 덕분에 MR영상에서 딥러닝 기반의 CT영상 생성이 가능해졌다. 이로 인해 CT 스캔 작업을 할 필요가 없게 된다. 본 연구에서는 MR영상으로부터 CycleGan 딥러닝 기반 CT영상생성을 구현했다. T1가중이나 T2가중 중에 한 가지 또는 그 둘다의 MR영상을 가지고 합습한 3가지의 인공지능 CT생성기를 만들었다. 결과에서 우리는 T1가중 MR 영상 기반으로 학습한 생성기가 T1가중 MR영상이 입력될 때 다른 CT생성기보다 더 나은 결과를 생성할 수 있음을 발견했다. 반면, T2가중 MR영상 기반 CT생성기는 T2가중 MR영상을 입력 받을 때, 다른 시퀀스기반 CT생성기보다 더 나은 결과를 생성할 수 있습니다. MR영상을 기반으로 한 CT생성기는 곧 임상현장에 적용될 수 있는 기술이다. 특정 시퀀스 MR영상으로 학습한 머신러닝 CT생성기는 다른 시퀀스 MR영상으로 학습한 생성기보다 더 그 특정 시퀀스와 같은 MR영상을 입력받을 때 더 나은 CT영상을 생성할 수 있음을 보여주었다.
