Application of Magneto-Rheological Dampers in Tuned Mass Dampers for Floor Vibration Control
… is to establish the effectiveness of tuned-mass-dampers (TMD) using semi-active magneto-rheological (MR) dampers to mitigate annoying floor vibrations. Annoying floor vibration is becoming more common in today's building structures since building materials have become stronger and lighter; the …

Energy Redistribution with Controllable Binary State Latch Element
… the latch device can be viewed as variable semi-active dampers such as magnetorheological (MR) and piezoelectric friction dampers. The distinct difference between other semi-active dampers and our latch device is that other semi-active dampers can provide continuous resistance according to the …

Large Force Range Mechanically Adjustable Dampers for Heavy Vehicle Applications
Semi-active dampers utilizing various working principles have been developed for a variety of vehicles. These semi-active dampers have been designed to resolve the ride and handling compromise associated with conventional passive dampers, and increase vehicle stability. This thesis briefly reviews …

Preview based Semi-Active Suspension Control
While semi-active suspensions help improve the ride comfort and road holding capacity of the vehicle, they tend to be reactive in nature and thus leave a lot of room for improvement. Incorporating road preview data allows these suspensions to become more proactive rather than reactive and helps …

On the Control Aspects of Semiactive Suspensions for Automobile Applications
… quarter-car model, using passive and semi-active dampers, along with a seven-degree-of-freedom full vehicle model. The behaviors of the semi-actively suspended vehicles have been evaluated using skyhook, groundhook, and hybrid control policies, and compared to the behaviors of the …

Investigation into low power active electromagnetic damping for automotive applications
… and passenger comfort. Hydraulic passive dampers are the most common system employed on vehicles, yet it is well known that passive suspension systems are less effective on lightweight vehicles. Modern damper technologies such as semi-active and active dampers, offer potential benefits …

Comparison of Linear, Nonlinear, Hysteretic, and Probabilistic MR Damper Models
Magnetorheolgical (MR) fluid dampers have the capability of changing their effective damping force depending on the current input to the damper. A number of factors in the construction of the damper, as well as the properties of the fluid and the electromagnet, create a dynamic response of the …
