    INTRODUCTION:

    • A Magneto Rheological fluid (MR fluid).

    • How it is Different from Ferro Fluids?

    • Controlled Motion of Fluid.


    WHAT ARE MR FLUID?
    • The term "magneto rheological fluid" comes from a
    combination of magneto, meaning magnetic, and
    rheo, the prefix for the study of deformation of
    matter under applied stress.

    Components/Ingredients
    Magneto rheological (MR) fluids are basically non colloidal
    suspensions of micro sized magnetic particles in an inert base
    fluid along with some additives. Thus there are basically three
    components in an MR fluid:
    A. Base fluid,
    B. Metal particles and
    C. Stabilizing additives.
    MODES OF OPERATION:

    A MR fluid is used in one of three main modes of operation, these being


    flow mode, shear mode and squeeze-flow mode.
    • Flow mode
    • Shear mode
    • Squeeze mode
    FLOW MODE

    In the flow mode, the fluid is pressurized to flow between two surfaces which
    are stationary. The flow rate and the pressure of the fluid may be adjusted by
    varying the magnetic field.
    Flow mode can be used in dampers and shock absorbers.
    SHEAR MODE

    •Shear mode is particularly used in clutches and brakes where rotational motion is
    controlled.
    •In the valve mode of the two surfaces that are in contact with the MR fluid, one
    surface moves relative to the fluid. This relative motion creates a shear stress in the
    fluid. The shear strength of the fluid may be varied by applying different levels of
    magnetic field.
    SQUEEZE MODE

    •This mode is used for application where controlling of small movement


    under large force is required.
    • In the squeeze film mode, the fluid in between the two plates moving in
    direction perpendicular to the plane.
    HOW IT WORKS?

    Particle Sizes !!!!!
    • Application of magnetic
    field, polarizes and align
    magnetic particles. Particle
    chain formation limits particle
    movement, which in turn limits
    themovement of the fluid.

    ANALYSIS OF BRAKE PLATE USING MR FLUID:

    WITH NORMAL FLUID: WITH MR FLUID:


    ADVANTAGES
    • The MR damping system uses onboard electronics.
    • No additional operator control is required.
    • MR provides real-time controllability.

    LIMITATIONS
    • REQUIRES HIGH VOLTAGE CURRENT WHICH IS NOT SAFE.
    • High density, due to presence of iron makes them heavy.
    • High quality fluids are expensive.
    • Fluids are subjected to thickening after prolonged use and need replacing.
    • Settling of Ferro-particles can be a problem for some application.
    • Have higher magnitude of Yield Stress ,20-50 times stronger than ER fluids.
    APPLICATION:
    Mechanical engineering:
    • MR fluid Dampers used mainly in heavy industries likely such as heavy
    motor damping, heavy vehicle damping etc.,
    • Seismic dampers which are positioned between building and foundation
    will absorb the frequency or vibration of earth quakes.
    Military and defense:
    Dynamic shock absorber for all territorial vehicles, research is going on to
    obtain fluid bullet resistance.
    Medical field:
    • MR fluid used in human prosthesis legs, it decreases force on human life.
    Automobile and aerospace
    Shock absorber of a vehicle suspension filled with MR fluid instead
    of plain oil and the whole device surrounded with the electro magnet,
    the viscosity of the fluid can be varied depending upon the
    requirement.
    • Clutches and brakes in vehicles.
    • Used in Dampers in automobiles.
    CONCLUSION:

    • MR fluids can be considered as a better way of controlling vibrations.


    • Magneto rheological fluids are actually amazing magnetic fluids.
    • MR fluid durability and life have to be more.
    • Challenges for future MR fluid development are fluids that operate in
    the high shear system of 104 to 106 sec-1.
    • The key to success in all of these implementations is the ability of MR
    fluid to rapidly change its rheological properties by applied magnetic
    field.
