Experimental Analysis of MR Fluid by Magneto-Rheological (MR) Damper

Article Preview

Abstract:

Magneto-rheological fluids belong to a group of non-Newtonian fluids, and represent a group of purely-viscous fluids with the controllability of their properties by means of a magnetic field. In the present work, MR damper setup has designed and fabricated. MR fluid is prepared by mixing the lubricating oil, distilled water and iron particles of size 500 meshes in the standard proportions. During the experimentation, arrangement is made for load which falls on the piston head of MR damper to determine the damping effect. For every reputation, time and displacement of piston in the MR fluid is noted. Based on these parameters, velocity of the piston and rate of acceleration with respect to time and acceleration with respect to displacement is determined. Damping effect is calculated by using acceleration with respect to time and displacement respectively.
