  1. MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL FLUIDS ADITYA RAMAKRISHNAN MEEN 3344 FALL 2004

  2. WHAT ARE ‘MR’ FLUIDS? • Dispersions of Particles made of a soft magnetic material in a carrier oil. • Carbonyl Iron Particles in Silicone Oil • A typical MR fluid contains 20–40% by volume of relatively pure, soft iron particles, • Other Versions made out of Ceramics, or Synthetic Polymers.

  3. INTRODUCTION • Viscosity controlled by the application of a Magnetic Field. • Viscosity directionally proportional to the strength of Magnetic field. • Viscosity change is achieved in a fraction of a millisecond. • Viscosity can be altered several times with fluid properties unaltered. • Variety of applications. • Numerous Advantages

  4. More info - ‘MR’ FLUIDS? • Tiny Iron Particles align with Magnetic Field. • Fluid turns pasty and feels very stiff. • Reverts to liquid when Magnetic Field is removed. • The weight and space required by the coils to produce magnetic field is a setback.

  5. APPLICATIONS • Vibration Control • Active Damping Controls • Brakes • Clutches • Stabilizing Leg Brace • Regulating Flow • Exercise Equipment • Other Applications

  6. Variable damping system based on magnetorheological fluid sponges can help control the vibratory motion of a household washing machine during its spin cycle. Damping is switched on as the drum passes through resonance and off again at the highest speeds for optimum vibration isolation. Magnetorheological shocks
