This paper describes the properties and the engineering applications of the smart materials,
especially in the mechatronics field. Even though there are several smart materials which all …

Magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) are classified as intelligent materials whose rheological
and mechanical properties can be modified by interaction with an external magnetic field …

This paper presents a study of the rheological properties of shear thickening fluid (STF) and
its application as a damper. The STF samples, with different weight fractions, were prepared …

By definition, solids and fluids have been characterized with different physical laws. The
behaviour of linear solids, for instance, can be quantified using Hooke's law of elasticity, and …

A novel compact rotary magneto-rheological (MR) damper with variable damping and
stiffness has been proposed and analyzed. Its variable damping is generated by tuning yield …

In this study, an experimental and a theoretical study were carried out to predict the dynamic
performance of a linear magnetorheological (MR) fluid damper. After having designed and …

In this study, three types of shear mode damper using magnetorheological (MR) fluids are
theoretically analyzed: linear, rotary drum, and rotary disk dampers. The damping …

This paper presents a magnetization model that endeavors to capture the change in the
rheological behavior due to the application of magnetic fields to ferrofluids (FFs) and …

This work proposes a novel type of magnetorheological (MR) damper configuration from
which an excellent ride comfort can be achieved without using a sophisticated controller …

This study presents design and fabrication of a novel magneto-rheological (MR) damper
with bifold flow mode gap to improve damping performance. The proposed MR damper is …
