Magnetorheological Materials and Potential Application of Magnetorheological Damping Devices in Engineering

Magnetorheologyical fluid, which consist of suspensions of magnetic particle and stabilizer in a carrying fluid, are regarded as one of the most versatile materials available for applications in engineering The principle of magnetorheological effect (MRE) and the properties of magnetorheological fluids (MRF) are briefly introduced in this paper The work principles of magnetorheological damping devices are illustrated and some application of magnetorheological technique in engineering are presented The future of magnetorheological technique is prospected
