This paper presents the field-dependent Bingham characteristics and damping force control of an electro-rheological (ER) fluid under squeeze mode operation. The squeeze force of the ER fluid due to the imposed electric field is analyzed and an appropriate size of the disk-type electrode is devised. On the basis of the theoretical model of the ER fluid under squeeze mode operation, the yield stress and response speed of the ER fluid are distilled from the time responses of squeeze force to the step electric potentials. Measured squeeze forces under various excitation conditions are compared with the predicted ones from Bingham model and time constant obtained at the transient response test. In addition, the controllability of the field-dependent damping force of the ER fluid under squeeze mode is experimentally demonstrated by implementing simple PID controller.

This study dealt with the free vibration of two identical rectangular plates coupled with fluid. In order to investigate the vibration characteristics of fluid-coupled rectangular plates, an analytical method based on the finite Fourier series expansion and Rayleigh-Ritz method was suggested. A commercial computer code, ANSYS was used to perform finite element analysis and we investigated the vibration characteristics with mode shapes and natural frequencies. As a result, the transverse vibration modes, in-phase and out-of-phase, were observed alternately in the fluid-coupled system. The effect of fluid bounding and plate boundary condition on the fluid-coupled natural frequency were investigated. It was shown that the mode numbers increased, the normalized natural frequencies monotonically increased.

MR(Magneto-rheological) fluid is smart fluid that can change its characteristics then magnetic fields are applied. Recently, many researches have been performed on this MR fluid for the application in a vareity of areas including automobile shock absorbers. This paper describes the design procedure of a MR damper and the analysis results of its dynamic characteristics. MR fluid in the magnetic field shows initial yield shear stress and increasing resistive viscosity with final saturation thereafter. Herschel-Bulkley model is used to simulate the flow characteristics of MR fluid and magnetic analysis is used to identify the magnetic property of the MR fluid in the orifice of the damper. The dynamic characteristics of the damper was predicted and compared with the experimental results for typical sinusoidal excitations.

This paper proposes a new method for dynamic modeling of electrorheological(ER) damper considering fluid compressibility. After describing configuration and operating principle of the ER damper, a quasi-static modeling of the ER damper is conducted on the basis of Bingham model of ER fluid. Subsequently, the dynamic model for describing the ER damper considering compressibility of ER fluid and gas chamber is obtained using the lumped parameter method. This method includes dynamic motions of annular duct, upper chamber, lower chamber and connecting pipe. The hysteresis behavior of the ER damper is evaluated through computer simulations and compared with experimental results. In addition, the hysteresis behavior due to the compressibility of ER fluid and gas chamber is investigated through computer simulations.

In order to investigate the vibration characteristics of fluid-structure interaction problem, we modeled two rectangular identical plates coupled with bounded fluid. The fixed boundary condition along the plate edges and an ideal fluid are assumed. MSC/NASTRAN was used to perform finite element analysis and analytic solutions were compared with experimental solutions to verify finite element model. As a result, comparison of FEM and experiment show good agreement, and the transverse vibration modes, in-phase and out of-phase, were observed alternately in the fluid-coupled system. The effect of distance between two rectangular plates on the fluid-coupled natural frequency is investigated.

In order to investigate the vibration characteristics of fluid-structure interaction problem, we modeled two identical rectangular plates coupled with bounded fluid. The fixed boundary condition along the plate edges and an ideal fluid were assumed. A commercial computer code, ANSYS was used to perform finite element analysis and FEM solutions were compared with the experimental results to modify the finite element model. As a result, comparison of FEM and experiment showed good agreement, and the transverse vibration modes, in-phase and out of-phase. were observed alternately in the tluid-coupled system. The effects of distance between two rectangular plates and width to length ratio on the fluid-coupled natural frequency were investigated. And it was found that the ormalized natural frequency of the fluid-coupled system monotonically increased with an increase in the number of modes.

Magneto-Rheological fluid (MR fluid) is known as a class of functional fluid with controllable apparent viscosity of the fluid by the applied magnetic field strength. Extensive researches with the functional fluids have been done on applications of the fluid to mechanical components such as suspension, absorber, engine mount, clutch, break, valve, etc. In this study, a new torsional damper using MR fluid is proposed, and the response property of the damper was theoretically investigated. The present damper is quit effective for reducing the driveline vibration in a wide range of the engine speed.

In this paper the vibration system is composed of a rotating cantilever pipe conveying fluid. The equation of motion is derived by using the Lagrange's equation. Generally, the system of pipe conveying fluid becomes unstable by flutter. Therefore, the influence of the rotating angular velocity, mass ratio and the velocity of fluid flow on the stability of a cantilever pipe by the numerical method are studied. The influence of mass ratio, the velocity of fluid, the angular velocity of a cantilever pipe and the coupling of these factors on the stability of a cantilever pipe are analytically clarified. The critical fluid velocity ($u_{cr}$) is proportional to the angular velocity of the cantilever pipe. In this paper Flutter(instability) is always occurred in the second mode of the system.

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.
