Abstract
The feasibility of a newly developed smart passive control system equipped electromagneticinduction device is experimentally investigated. An electromagnetic induction deviceconsists of a permanent magnet and a solenoid, which produces electrical energy (i.e.induced current) according to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. The producedenergy is applied to the magnetorheological (i.e. MR) damper to change the dampingcharacteristics by itself without any controller or corresponding sensors for reducingstructural responses. Recently, the smart passive control system was conceptuallyand numerically introduced without consideration of its practical applicability.This paper describes the design of an electromagnetic inductive device which iscomposed of a permanent magnet and a solenoid, and experiments with the MRdamper-based smart passive control system on a shaking table which produces varioussinusoidal and random excitations. The experimental results demonstrate that itis feasible to apply the smart passive control system equipped electromagneticinduction device for changing the damping characteristics of an MR damper.
