Summary
Identification of a small-scale MR controllable-friction damper
Main characteristics
Chrzan and Carlson, 2001
Enable low cost appropriate for less
demanding, low-force applications with a high
degree of control
Consists in an absorbent foam saturated with
MR fluid (aprox. 3 ml).
Doesn’t have an accumulator and a bypass of
the fluid.
Operates in a direct shear mode without seals,
bearings or precision mechanical tolerance.
