The application status and prospects of magneto-rheological fluid

As a kind of new intelligent material, magneto-rheological fluid (MRF) has been receiving more and more attentions and applications. In this paper, the components of magneto-rheological fluid and its performance characteristics are mainly introduced. Besides, the authors analyze the advantages of MRF in practical application and its present situation of application in engineering. Finally, the application of MRF in engine dynamometer is studied in detail which will widen the application of magneto-rheological fluid.
