Experimental and analytical study of variable fluid damper and stiffness device
A prototype variable fluid damper and stiffness device is evaluated in this study. This damper is capable of providing continuous variation with different levels of system damping and stiffness. The damping and stiffness can be varied independent of each other or simultaneously. The following …

A Novel Magnetorheological Fluid Damper for a Small Spacecraft with Flexible Appendages
… thesis presents the possible design of a new damper for the small, flexible spacecraft model. The design takes advantage of a smart material known as a magnetorheological (MR) fluid that was initially created in the 1940s, but has been subject to renewed interest over the past 30 years. A …

Magneto-rheological fluid orthosis for suppressing tremor
… which are made of Magneto-Rheological (MR) fluid that can dynamically alter its viscosity under magnetic field. The wearable tremor suppressing orthosis needs several conditions. It should be safe, light weight, simple and small in structure, and easily attachable. An MR fluid orthosis …
