Abstract

In order to develop a smaller magnetorheological fluid (MRF) damper and its corresponding analysis software, a new MRF damper with outer-coils and testing system was designed. The testing results show that the MRF has good mechanical properties when the damping gap is 1.5 mm. The smoothing damping force is only 1.0–4.0 N by adjusting the coil current from 0 A to 2 A, and it is linearly related to current through data fitting. The damping force versus velocity curve has obvious hysteresis characteristic, and an improved nonlinear dynamic model is proposed. Based on the model and linear function, electromechanical characteristics of the MRF damper can be simulated by Simulink, which provides an analysis platform for applications of the damper.
