Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are capable of manifesting a rheological behaviour change
by means of a magnetic field application and can be employed in many complex systems in …

Micropumps are microfluidic components that are widely used in applications such as
chemical analysis, biological sensing, and microrobots. However, one obstacle in …

Abstract The Bouc–Wen (BW) model is a successful differential equations model used to
describe a wide range of nonlinear hysteretic systems. However, it is unable to describe …

Magnetorheological (MR) damper is an ideal semi-active control device for vibration
suppression. The mechanical properties of this type of devices show strong nonlinear …

Pounding between adjacent structures has been a concern in multi-span bridges in recent
earthquakes. In this paper, a pounding mitigation strategy using magnetorheological …

Semi-active suspensions based on magnetorheological (MR) dampers are receiving
significant attention, especially for control of vibration isolation systems. The nonlinear …

The present study discusses the mechanical behaviour and modelling of a prototype
automotive magnetorheological (MR) damper, which presents different viscous damping …

The damping properties of glass windows have a great influence on the comfort of the
occupants, especially for buildings that are close to a vibration source, such as rail tracks …

In order to get a better description to the nonlinear characteristics of magnetorheological
dampers, the magic formula is introduced into the general method of parametric modelling of …

Continuum manipulators are widely used in minimally invasive surgical robot systems
(MISRS) because of their flexibility and compliance, while their modelling and control are …
