Magnetorheological (MR) fluids contain suspensions that exhibit a rapid, reversible and tunable transition from a free-flowing state to a semi-solid state upon the application of an external magnetic field. This behavior has attracted significant attention in the development of dampers, shock absorption system, military and defence system and safety devices in aerospace engineering. However, many of the issues pertaining to MR damper behavior in impact and shock applications are relatively unknown. This study provides an experimental analysis and simulation analysis by using COMSOL multyphysics of MR dampers when they are subjected to impact and shock loading. To this end, a novel MR damper with a four-stage piston and independent input currents is designed and analyzed. In this paper, two-dimension symmetrical Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFDs) simulation for the laminar flow of an incompressible MR fluid in the annular gap in the presence of a varying magnetic field. The purpose of this research is to study the couple effect of electromagnetic field and the fluid flow field and magnitude of damping force in a macroscopic view. The governing differential equations describing the magnetic field and fluid flow in the annular gap are solved numerically by COMSOL Multiphysics. Through the electromagnetic analysis and flow field analysis, the coupling effect of the magnetic field between the coil and the multiphysics coupling effect of novel MR was be found. For the each coil has an independent power supply, so it can provide a wider range damping force by combining the electromagnetic field of coils.Copyright © 2015 by ASME
