Review of magnetorheological (MR) fluids and its applications in vibration control

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are now well established as one of the leading materials for use in controllable structures and systems. Commercial application of MR fluids in various fields, particularly in the vibration control, has grown rapidly over the past few years. In this paper, properties of magnetorheological (MR) fluids, its applications in suspensions of vehicles, suspension of trains, high buildings cable-stayed bridges have been discussed. The scope of MR fluids in future, problems and some suggestions are also presented. Finally, effectiveness of MR fluids in vibration control of marine diesel engine through experiment is briefly discussed by the author.
