Abstract
This work makes an effort to explore a magnetorheological clutch (MRC) prototype for a two-wheeled electric vehicle owing to its quick response, accurate torque transmission control by varying the magnetic field; and electro-mechanical interface. A design variation ‘MRC with-slits’ is proposed to enhance the torque transmission capacity and compared with ‘MRC without-slits’. The torque transmitting capability of the MRC with and without-slits is evaluated analytically and experimentally with respect to input parameters viz. current and speeds. The rise in torque transmission due to the presence of slits and thermal behavior is validated experimentally. Correlation and uncertainty analysis are used to confirm the findings. The weight and size of the MRC remains a major challenge for its successful integration with a two-wheeled electric vehicle application.
