Key difference in ferrofluids compared to MR/ER fluids?
Particle size Ferrofluids particle size is very small and is subjected to significant Brownian motion which is the random motion of particles suspended in fluid resulting from their collision with fast moving molecules in the fluid
37
Working principle of MR valve damper
electromagnetic coil surrounds fluid valve orifice, fluid flows through the valve and when the device is on the electrical charge is sent to the coil which induces a magnetic field as the fluid passes through
38
Advantages of MR valve type damper
no moving parts, continuously viable, low voltage controls, strong force
39

Larger
40

MR response results from polarization induced in suspended particles by application of external magnetic field
44
What is the bingham model used for?
to describe the flow behavior of certain types of fluids that behave like solids at low stress but flow like a viscous fluid when the applied stress exceeds a certain threshold
45
What does tau represent in the bingham model equations?
field dependent yield stress

To provide adequate space for the large number of coils used in the electromagnet. Small dampers need less coils
56
Key points of "power-on" MR valve
