Abstract

Abstract: As a device of current adjusting damping parameters, Magnetorheological fluid damper have a wide application prospect in vehicle suspension vibration reduction and aviation vibration isolation. As the traditional modeling method, the non-Newtonian fluid modeling for magnetorheological fluid dampers is difficult to predict the hysteresis effect in force-velocity curves and recent researches about the influence of flow parameters on the damper performance are inadequate. The chain characteristics of Magnetorheological fluid under mixed operating mode are analyzed, and the theoretical damping force expression under the pre-yield stage is derived by using the particle chain model. The Newtonian fluid model and Herschel-Bulkley model are respectively used to describe the constitutive relationship of the magnetorheological fluid in the non-magnetized region and the magnetized region, and then the theoretical damping force expression is derived. At the same time, based on the finite element analysis of the magnetic circuit simulation, an integrated model is formed by using the hypothesis of weighted mean magnetic field flow channel. A magnetorheological fluid damper is designed and fabricated. The validity of the particle chain model in the pre-yield phase and the quasi-static model in the yield phase were verified by using MTS testing machine. Using the above model, the influences of the parameters such as the number of coil turns, piston velocity, damping channel clearance and damping channel length on the adjusting range of magnetorheological fluid damper are analyzed. The results show that the particle chain model in the pre-yield stage can effectively predict the hysteretic effect, and the quasi-static model in the yield stage can effectively predict the indicator characteristics, and the coil turns and the length of the damping channel have more significant effects than other parameters, which provides a reference for the design of the same type of magnetorheological fluid dampers.
