Abstract
A linear magnetorheological (MR) damper, supplied by Lord Corporation, was tested and modeled. Under dynamic conditions, the effects of displacement amplitude, frequency, and magnetic fields on the mechanical properties of MR damper, such as damping force, equivalent-damping capability, were experimentally studied with an INSTRON test machine. A viscoelastic-plastic model is proposed to model the MR behavior. It is shown that the damper response can be satisfactorily predicted with this model.
