Application of Systematic Innovative Method to Improve the Structure of Magnetorheological Damper

Abstract:

Magnetorheological fluid (MR fluid) has been widely used in the industrial fields, especially in the machinery, automobile, national defense and construction industries. Most of the researches of the Magnetorheological Damper only utilized device to examine the effects of different levels of voltage, amplitude and frequency on energy reduction. They find a combination of the number of circles of wire, damping tubes, enameled wire sleeves for liquid of MR damper controlled to increase the damping force. This study uses different ways to solve the problem. We think outside the box and apply the concepts and technology of systematic innovation method to improve the structure of the MR damper for increasing the effectiveness. This study uses the contradiction matrix, 39 engineering parameters, and 40 inventive and innovative principles to identify the areas of improvement to address the exist problems. Regarding the decrease of the magnetic field acting force due to increase of the moving distance and the effect on the magnetorheological damper efficiency. Finally, we propose an improved design of the MR Damper.
