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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induced Fibration of Suspensions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe some of the phenomena found to have their origin in electrically induced fibration of small particles in fluid liquid suspension, including the induced shear resistances found in layers of the fluid when bounded by potentialized electrode surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of the behaviour of magnetorheological materials
TL;DR: In this paper, a quasi-static, one-dimensional model is developed that examines the mechanical and magnetic properties of magnetorheological materials, and the model attempts to account for magnetic nonlinearities and saturation by establishing a mechanism by which magnetic flux density is distributed within the composite material.

An experimental study of MR dampers for seismic protection
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of magnetorheological dampers for seismic response reduction is examined and the results indicate that the MR damper is quite effective for structural response reduction over a wide class of seismic excitations.
