Flow Analysis and Modeling of Field-Controllable, Electro- and Magneto-Rheological Fluid Dampers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study combines a fluid mechanics-based approach and the Herschel-Bulkley constitutive equation to develop a theoretical model for predicting the behavior of field-controllable, magneto-rheological ...
Magnetorheological Fluid Flow in Microchannels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study presents experimental results on the flow of magnetorheological grease (MRG) through microchannels. MR materials flowing through microchannels create microvalves. The flow is controlled ...

Assessment of Steel and Fiber Reinforced Plastic Jackets for Seismic Retrofit of Reinforced Concrete Columns with Structural Flares
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An analytical and experimental study of reinforced concrete flared bridge columns was conducted to determine an appropriate retrofit method for columns with inadequate shear capacity under earthquake loads. Four 0.3-scale ...
Sensing Behavior of Magnetorheological Elastomers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is comprised of ferromagnetic particles aligned in a polymer medium by exposure to a magnetic field. The structures of the magnetic particles within elastomers ...
Comparative Study on Vibration Control of a Scaled Bridge Using Fail-Safe Magneto-Rheological Fluid Dampers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This work presents vibration control of a scaled bridge using fail-safe magneto-rheological fluid (MRF) dampers. A fail-safe MRF damper refers to a device that retains a minimum required damping capacity in the event of a ...
