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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: This study presents a new approach for flow analysis of magnetorheological (MR) fluids through channels with various surface topologies. Based on an experimental study an analytical method is ...

Abstract: This study presents theoretical and experimental investigations of a novel external bypass, fail-safe, magnetorheological fluid (MRF) damper. A fail-safe MRF damper is referred to as a device ...

Abstract: In this study, the performance of a new controllable mount design utilizing a magnetorheological material encapsulated in an elastomer matrix is investigated. A magnetorheological fluid-elastomer ...

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 ...

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 ...
