TL;DR: Magneto-rheological (MR) fluids are rapidly rising in prominence as a means of producing controllable damping devices for vibration control as mentioned in this paper, where a recently constructed test facility in which an MR squeeze-flow device is incorporated as the damping element in a vibration isolator.
Abstract: Magneto-rheological (MR) fluids are rapidly rising in prominence as a means of producing controllable damping devices for vibration control. MR fluids can be used in various modes of operation in order to provide damping forces. One of the least exploited of these modes is commonly known as squeeze-flow, where large, controllable forces can be generated over relatively small displacement ranges. In this paper the authors describe a recently constructed test facility in which an MR squeeze-flow device is incorporated as the damping element in a vibration isolator.© (1999) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

TL;DR: In this paper, a magnetorheological damperis designed and manufactured and the basis for using this kind of damper in the field of structure passive control and active control is presented.
Abstract: Magnetorheological damper is a new kind of smart damper, which is anideal component for semiactive control. Based on the literature[3], a magnetorheological damperis designed and manufactured. The magnetic field, damping performance and response time of thisdamper is tested. The basis for using this kind of damper in the field of structure passive control and active control is presented.
