Phenomenological model for magnetorheological dampers
TL;DR: In this article, a model for controllable fluid dampers is proposed that can effectively portray the behavior of a typical magnetorheological (MR) damper and compared with experimental results for a prototype damper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and Control of Magnetorheological Dampers for Seismic Response Reduction
TL;DR: In this paper, a clipped-optimal control strategy based on acceleration feedback for controlling magnetorheological dampers is proposed to reduce structural responses due to seismic loads, and a numerical example, employing a newly developed model that accurately portrays the salient characteristics of the MR dampers, is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the approach.

Supplemental energy dissipation: state-of-the-art and state-of-the- practice
T. T. Soong,Billie F. Spencer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the state-of-the-art structural control systems for wind and seismic response of buildings and bridges are discussed, as well as their advantages and limitations in the context of seismic design and retrofit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale MR fluid dampers: modeling and dynamic performance considerations
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the essential features and advantages of magnetorheological (MR) materials and devices is given, followed by the derivation of a quasi-static axisymmetric model of MR dampers, which is then compared with both a simple parallel-plate model and experimental results.
Phenomenological Model of a Magnetorheological Damper
TL;DR: In this article, a new model for controllable fluid dampers is proposed that can effectively portray the behavior of a typical magnetorheological damper and compared with experimental results for a prototype damper indicates that the model is accurate over a wide range of operating conditions.
