A Review on Structural Development of Magnetorheological Fluid Damper

الملخص EN

Owing to unique advantages, magnetorheological fluid (MRF) dampers have been widely adopted in different fields of vibration control.

Significant differences of structures occur in diverse fields due to the respective requirements, thus obtaining a large number of MR dampers.

Having a good understanding of types, technical characteristics, comprehensive performance, and developing trend and their dependencies on structures are extremely conducive to innovative developments and a market selection.

While the fundamental and partial structures are summarized in an existing review, the classification, latest technologies, and developing trend are not involved clearly.

Therefore, the current survey aims at a comprehensive supplement in such aspects.

The review begins with an introduction of the development, application, and classification.

Then, details of three technical routes are revealed, and the development of each type is roughly analyzed.

Finally, reflecting through this review, structures including a novel flow mode and miniature bypass valves have represented the currently structural and technical features.

Fully considering the latest technologies and future requirements, the developing trend and a variety of applications will be anticipated.
