자기유변유체(magnetorheological Fluid: MR)를 이용한 차량용 응용장치는 다양한 주행환경에서도 안정적인 제어성능과 신뢰할 수 있는 작동을 요구한다. 하지만 자기유변 유체의 주요한 구성요소로는 철 입자가 포함되어 있으며, 이러한 철 입자는 부식에 매우 취약하여 자기유변유체의 제어특성에 심각한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 자기유변 입자의 부식이 전단응력과 같은 자기유변유체의 성능에 미치는 영향을 고찰하고자 한다. 이를 위해 먼저 염화칼슘 수용액을 이용하여 일정시간 동안 MR 철입자를 부식시킨 후 전자현미경(scanning electron microscope: SEM)으로 관찰하고 에너지 분산 X선 기법으로 분자비를 분석함으로써 부식 진행상태를 확인한다. 그리고 부식된 철 입자를 실리콘 오일에 분산하여 자기유변유체를 조성한 다음 회전점도계를 이용하여 부식 전후의 전단응력의 변화를 비교 분석함으로써 자기유변유체를 구성하는 철입자의 부식이 MR 응용장치의 성능에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 고찰한다. 이러한 연구를 기반으로 향후 철 입자가 부식된 자기유변유체를 실제 응용장치에 적용하여 제어성능에 나타나는 영향할 고찰하여 제어성능을 개선하는 연구로 발전시켜 나갈 예정이다.

This paper presents an experimental approach to study the effect of friction on magnerorheological (MR) fluids. Both steady and dynamic modes were employed to investigate MR fluid behaviors. The experimental results indicate that the total MR effects are dominated by two factors: magnetic force and friction force. Conventionally, the magnetic force contribution to MR effect has been intensively studied while the friction force effect has attracted less attention. This study provides a method to quantitatively predict the friction contribution to the total MR effect. It may be used to effectively analyze enhanced MR effects reported by other groups. Also, it might provide good guidance to develop high-efficiency MR fluids.

This paper presents yaw vibration control performances of railway vehicle featuring controllable magnetorheological damper. A cylindrical type of MR damper is devised and its damping force is evaluated by considering fluid resistance and MR effect. Design parameters are determined to achieve desired damping force level. The MR damper model is then incorporated with the governing equations of motion of the railway vehicle which includes vehicle body, bogie and wheel-set. Subsequently, computer simulation of vibration control via proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is performed using Matlab. Various control performances are demonstrated under external excitation by creep force between wheel and rail.

Magnetorheological (MR) fluid belongs to the group of smart materials. In MR fluid, iron particles in base oil form chains in the direction of the applied magnetic field, thus resulting in a variation in the stiffness and damping characteristics of the fluid. Research is being carried out on controlling the stiffness and damping characteristics as well as the tribological characteristics of the MR fluid. In this study, the friction characteristics of MR fluid have been evaluated using three types of materials and magnetic fields of different strengths. The coefficients of friction of the three types of MR fluid are measured, and the relationship between the coefficient of friction and the strength of the applied magnetic field is obtained.

Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE), a smart material, is an innovative material for base isolation system. It has magnetorheological (MR) effect that can control the stiffness in real-time. In this paper, a new hybrid base isolation system combining two electromagnetic closed circuits and the roller bearing is proposed. In the proposed system, the roller part can support the vertical load. Thus, the MRE part is free from the vertical load and can exhibit the maximum MR effect. The MRE magnetic loop is constructed in the free space of the roller bearing and forms a strong magnetic field. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed hybrid base isolation system, dynamic characteristic tests and performance evaluation were carried out. Dynamic characteristic tests were performed under the extensive range of strain of the MRE and the change of the applied current. Performance evaluation was carried out using the hybrid simulation under five earthquakes (i.e., El Centro, Kobe, Hachinohe, Northridge, and Loma Prieta). Especially, semi-active fuzzy control algorithm was applied and compared with passive type. From the performance evaluation, the comparison shows that the new hybrid base isolation system using fuzzy control algorithm is superior to passive type in reducing the acceleration and displacement responses of a target structure.

As a deterministic finishing process for the optical parts having complex surface, machining performance of the magnetorheological(MR) fluid jet polishing of optical glass are studied and compared with a general water jet polishing. First, design of the jet polishing system which has the special electromagnet-nozzle unit for stabilizing the slurry jet based on MR fluid and the change of jet shape as magnetic field is applied are explained. Second, for the BK7 glass, machining spot and its cross section profile are analyzed and the unique effect of MR fluid jet polishing is shown. Third, both material removal depth and surface roughness are explored in order to investigate the polishing performance of MR fluid jet. With the same ceria abrasives and amount in the polishing slurries, MR fluid jet shows superior machining performance compared to water jet and the difference of material removal mechanism and its resulting performance are described.
