A magnetorheological damper or magnetorheological shock absorber is a damper filled with magnetorheological fluid, which is controlled by a magnetic field, usually using an electromagnet. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This allows the damping characteristics of the shock absorber to be continuously controlled by varying the power of the electromagnet.
If the shock absorbers of a vehicle's suspension are filled with magnetorheological fluid instead of a plain oil or gas, and the channels which allow the damping fluid to flow between the two chambers is surrounded with electromagnets, the viscosity of the fluid, and hence the critical frequency of the damper, can be varied depending on driver ...
MagneRide is an automotive adaptive suspension with magnetorheological damper system developed by the Delphi Automotive corporation, [1] [2] that uses magnetically controlled dampers, or shock absorbers, for a highly adaptive ride.
The electrostatic theory assumes just a two phase system, with dielectric particles forming chains aligned with an electric field in an analogous way to how magnetorheological fluid (MR) fluids work. An ER fluid has been constructed with the solid phase made from a conductor coated in an insulator. [ 5 ]
Ferrofluid is a liquid that is attracted to the poles of a magnet.It is a colloidal liquid made of nanoscale ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic particles suspended in a carrier fluid (usually an organic solvent or water). [1]
Underdamped spring–mass system with ζ < 1. In physical systems, damping is the loss of energy of an oscillating system by dissipation. [1] [2] Damping is an influence within or upon an oscillatory system that has the effect of reducing or preventing its oscillation. [3]
A shock absorber or damper is a mechanical or hydraulic device designed to absorb and damp shock impulses. It does this by converting the kinetic energy of the shock into another form of energy (typically heat) which is then dissipated. Most shock absorbers are a form of dashpot (a damper which resists motion via viscous friction).
When shock waves of an incompressible fluid within a piping system exist, especially at a high velocity, there is a high chance for water hammer. To help prevent a swing check from slamming and causing water hammer, a spring-assisted non-slam check valve is installed.
