Abstract

In this study, we report the theoretical resistance force of a magneto-rheological (MR) shock absorber. We use the Bingham plastic model to theoretically represent the dynamic behavior of MR fluid flow in a circular pipe under the effect of a magnetic field. Because an MR fluid has yield stresses, the flow is divided into two regions: shear flow and plug flow. We reveal the relation between the resistance force of the MR shock absorber and the applied magnetic field. We conduct experiments and compare the experimental and analytical results to verify the theoretical approach.
