WHAT IS A MAGNETO-RHEOLOGICAL FLUID? ?
A magneto rheological fluid (MR fluid) is a type of smart fluid in a carrier fluid,
usually a type of oil. When subjected to a magnetic field, the fluid greatly increases its
apparent viscosity,
INTRODUCTION
 magneto rheological shock absorber is a material filled with

magneto rheological fluid, which is controlled by a magnetic field, usually
using an electromagnet. This allows the damping characteristics of the
shock absorber to be continuously controlled by varying the power of the
electromagnet. This type of shock absorber has several applications, most
notably in semi-active vehicle suspensions which may adapt to road
conditions, as they are monitored through sensors in the vehicle, and in
prosthetic limbs.
 A smart fluid is a fluid whose properties can be changed by applying an
electric field or a magnetic field.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
 WORKING:
The magnetic particles which are typically micrometer or nano meter

scale When a magnetic field is applied, however, the microscopic
particles (usually in the 0.1–10 µm range) align themselves along the
lines of magnetic flux
Due to this magnetic flux viscosity of magneto rheological fluid gets
increases and helps to reduce shock.
Thus it acts as a Bingham plastic.
MODES OF OPERATION
 Flow mode
The fluid is located between a pair of stationary poles. The

resistance to the fluid flow is controlled by modifying the
magnetic field between the poles, in a direction perpendicular
to the flow Devices using this mode of operation include servo-
valves, dampers, shock absorbers and actuators.
MODES OF OPERATION
 Shear mode
The fluid is located between a pair of moving poles (translation or

rotation motion). The relative displacement is parallel to the poles. The
apparent viscosity, and thus the “drag force” applied by the fluid to the
moving surfaces can be controlled by modifying the magnetic field
between the poles. Devices using this mode of operation include clutches,
brakes, locking devices
MODES OF OPERATION
 Squeeze-flow mode
The fluid is located between a pair of moving poles. The relative displacement is
perpendicular to the direction of the fluid flow .The compression force applied to the
fluid is varying periodically. Displacements are small compared to the other modes
but resistive forces are high. As for the two other modes, the magnitude of these
resistive forces can be controlled by modifying the magnetic field between the poles.
While less well understood than the other modes, the squeeze mode has been
explored for use in small amplitude vibration and impact dampers.

Telescope's corrective lens.
 Magneto rheological dampers are under development
for use in military and commercial helicopter cockpit
seats, as safety devices in the event of a crash
 Magneto rheological dampers are utilized in semi-
active human prosthetic legs

seat/cab damping in construction vehicles, and
more.
