This paper presents a novel magnetorheological (MR) damper with a meandering magnetic
circuit, referred to as MMCMRD, to improve the damping force performance of an MR …

Recently, an increasing number of electromagnetic devices have been using smart fluids.
These include ferrofluids, electrorheological fluids, and magnetorheological (MR) fluids. In …

This paper presents a novel wearable haptic device that provides the user with knowledge
of a vertical force, measured at the fingertips, by applying pressure at three different …

This research presents a new magneto-rheological brake that uses only permanent magnets
to produce variable torque output. A new magnet array was developed that can be operated …

Currently, MR dampers with electromagnets (EM) are the main type of devices with MR-fluid
to provide linear damping and braking forces. The EM devices are simple in structure and …
