Abstract

This paper is devoted to two different applications of electrorheological (ER) fluid devices. The first application deals with the modeling and nonlinear control of an active actuator consisting of a double-rod cylinder and four ER valves arranged in a full bridge configuration. Secondly, a semi-active shock absorber system is designed by utilizing the special properties of ER valves. The latter application is also intended to demonstrate the benefits of a mechatronic design approach, where the control strategy and the system components are designed simultaneously. Measurement results prove the feasibility of the proposed ER devices.
