Magnetorheological Fluid Technology: Applications in Vehicle
Systems compiles the authors' recent work involving the application
of magnetorheological (MR) fluids and other smart materials in
vehicles. It collects concepts that have previously been scattered
in peer-reviewed international journals.
After introducing the physical phenomena and properties of MR
fluids, the book presents control methodologies for effectively
controlling vehicle devices and systems featuring MR fluids. The
authors also introduce the hysteresis identification of MR fluid
and discuss its application through the adoption of the Preisach
and polynomial models. They then describe the application of
MR-equipped suspension systems in passenger, tracked, and railway
vehicles; the application of MR brake systems in passenger
vehicles, motorcycles, and bicycles; and the application of several
MR technologies in heavy vehicles. The final chapter explores the
use of haptic technologies for easily operating vehicle instruments
and achieving optimal gear shifting with accelerator pedals.
Assuming some technical and mathematical background in
vibration, dynamics, and control, this book is designed for
scientists and engineers looking to create new devices or systems
for vehicles featuring controllable MR fluids. It is also suitable
for graduate students who are interested in the dynamic modeling
and control methodology of vehicle devices and systems associated
with MR fluid technology.
