Magneto-Rheological Fluid (MRF) is a functional fluid in which flow characteristics change into magnetic force due to its magnetic particles. When the semi-active control device does not use MRF for a long time, precipitation of magnetic particles and abnormal control force occur. Thus, Electro Magneto-Rheological Fluid (EMRF), which improves the precipitation of magnetic particles for MRF and exhibits existing control performance, was developed in this study. First, the optimal mix proportion ratio was selected by conducting a precipitation experiment and a controlled force test by varying the content of grease based on the existing MRF components. Also, EMRF was applied to the shear-type damper to evaluate the control performance when applied to the control device. The cylinder-type damper was developed to apply to the structure, and control performance evaluation was conducted. The result confirmed that the precipitation of the magnetic particles was improved, while the damper using EMRF exhibited excellent control performance.

The effect of power supply voltage on the performance limits in a laboratory Magneto-rheological fluid based device was identified by experiments. It suggests that the frequency range of motion for control be limited by the voltage attenuation due to the coil inductance and the maximum power supply voltage set for practical use of MRF devices. In this work, the magnetic and electrical characteristics of MRF device are investigated and a design procedure is formulated to achieve the desired performance for a given power supply.

Surface tension is a major factor in the thermodynamics as well as fluid properties of Magneto-Rheological Fluids (MRF). We measured the surface tension of an MRF using two different methods. A wettability characterization based on contact angles measurements for the fluid interacting with two different surfaces was conducted. A hydrocarbon based commercial MRF with more than 80% solid weight, placed on quartz and poly-tetra-fluoroethylene (PTFE) surfaces was used. We measured the fluids' surface tension value by means of contact angles measurements and by the falling drop method.

This paper presents the design study of a rotary MRF(Magneto-Rheological Fluid) damper that can be conveniently used in the joints to control the damping torques. The basic design concept is to determine the geometric design variables allowing the magnetic flux to flow across the same sectional areas under volume constraint condition. The effects of each design variables for generating the torques were investigated by magnetic field analyses.

In order to investigate the stability of magneto-rheological fluid based squeeze film damper (MR-SFD), its negative stiffness effect, which arises from magnetization of MR-SFD, is identified theoretically and experimentally. The analytical model of MR-SFD includes the magnetic circuit as well as the displacement stiffness associated with the squeeze mode of MRF. Extensive experiments are carried out to measure the magnetic attraction forces generated in the MR-SFD, with the excitation frequency and the eccentricity of the journal varied, which are controlled by an active magnetic bearing. The simulation and experimental results are found to be in good agreement. It is concluded that the negative stiffness effect dominates only in the low frequency region because its effect diminishes in the high frequency region due to the eddy-current loss.

본 논문은 전단모드와 유동모드 하에서 자기유변유체의 빙햄 및 응답특성 실험을 실시한 것이다. 실험을 위해 전단모드와 유동모드에서 작동하는 두 가지 자기점도계가 제작되었으며, 자기유변유체는 로드사의 MRF-132LD가 사용되었다. 자기장의 변화에 따른 전단응력이 다양한 온도에서 실험적으로 실시되었다. 이로부터 직선보간법을 이용하여 항복전단응력을 도출하였으며, 온도에 따른 변화가 매우 적은 것을 확인했다. 또한 자기유변유체의 사각파에 대한 응답특성이 작동모드에 따라 비교되었다.

Tribological properties of a Magneto-Rheological(MR) fluid in a polishing process are studied. For this polishing process, abrasive wear model is proposed as a function of shear force, normal force and actual mean velocity of MR particles at workpiece surface. Experimental conditions are changed by varying the gap distance between workpiece and tool and the rotational speed of tool. From the experimental results, a modified Stribeck curve is obtained, and the friction coefficient turns out to have linear relationship with a modified Sommerfeld number. The validity of the wear model is supported by additional experiments performed for measuring material removal rates.

Magneto-rheological fluid (MRF) rotatory dampers are normally used for controlling the constant rotation of machines and engines. In this research, such a device is proposed to act as variable stiffness device to alleviate the rotational oscillation existing in the many engineering applications, such as motor. Under such thought, the main purpose of this work is to characterize the nonlinear torque-angular displacement/angular velocity responses of an MRF based variable stiffness device in oscillatory motion. A rotational hysteresis model, consisting of a rotatory spring, a rotatory viscous damping element and an error function-based hysteresis element, is proposed, which is capable of describing the unique dynamical characteristics of this smart device. To estimate the optimal model parameters, a modified whale optimization algorithm (MWOA) is employed on the captured experimental data of torque, angular displacement and angular velocity under various excitation conditions. In MWOA, a nonlinear algorithm parameter updating mechanism is adopted to replace the traditional linear one, enhancing the global search ability initially and the local search ability at the later stage of the algorithm evolution. Additionally, the immune operation is introduced in the whale individual selection, improving the identification accuracy of solution. Finally, the dynamic testing results are used to validate the performance of the proposed model and the effectiveness of the proposed optimization algorithm.
