Abstract

In this paper, a new porous foam magntrorheological (MR) fluid damper is proposed. In the action of magnetic field, the metal foam is used to store and release the MR fluids. It is worthy to study the time MR fluids can be extracted and produce damping force. Therefore, the critical magnetic field intensity is investigated experimentally by a custom-made test rig. The experimental results show that when magnetic field intensity increased to a critical value, the MR fluids are extracted out from the porous foam into shear gap, and move with the piston, the shear damping force begin to change..
