Abstract
Commercial vehicles are usually equipped with suspension seats to improve ride comfort. As a semi-active intelligent device, magnetorheological damper can effectively improve seat comfort when applied to seat suspension. Firstly, a novel damper with built-in magnetorheological valve (MRVD) based on the squeeze mode of magnetorheological fluid (MRF) is designed, which integrates the magnetorheological valve (MRV) into the piston. This structure adopts a bidirectional controllable flow channel, double coil, and double squeeze chamber. Secondly, the mathematical model of the MRVD is derived based on the Bingham plastic model of the MRF. Then, the distribution of magnetic flux density in the effective damping gaps is simulated using finite element method. Finally, it is shown from a comparative work between the simulation results from the derived mathematical model and experimental test results of the MRVD that the established mathematical model can predict the field-dependent damping force well. The idea of integrating the MRV into the piston provides a new approach for the application of magnetorheological technology.
