Title: MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL FLUID DEVICES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Abstract: Magnetorheological(MR) fluids are a class of new intelligent materials whose rheological characteristics change rapidly and can be controlled easily in the presence of an applied magnetic field. The devices based on MR fluid including dampers, brakes, clutches, and hydraulic valves, polishing devices, etc, have a very promising potential future, and some of them have been used commercially in engineering applications, such as automobiles, exercise equipment, polishing machines, etc,. In this paper, the operation modes of MR fluid devices are analyzed firstly, then the developments in last decade of MR fluid devices (especially dampers) and their applications in mechanical engineering are classified and reviewed comprehensively,the application prospects of MR fluid are discussed finally.
