Abstract

Magnetorheological (MR) dampers can be controlled effectively by magnetic field s . Under the external ma gnetic field s , MR fluid behaves as a non Newtonian fluid with controllable viscosity. The response time is a critical factors to determine its performance. A new MR damper by using foam metal to store MR fluids is proposed . H owever, the response time is a little different with the traditional ones for the time to extract the MR fluid from metal foam. Therefore, in this paper, t he delay time , MR fluid was drawn out from the porous metal foam, was investigated in terms of the internal structure formation by a precise control of external magnetic fields..
