Vibration analysis for the rotational magnetorheological damper

Comfort, reliability, functionality performance which provide a longer life cycle requires thourogh understanding and analysis of the vibrations, this is a general rule for most of the static and dynamic functionality applications. Vibrations is an extremely important issue to consider when designing various systems. The hysteresis in the dampers is very important issue when characterizing a damper, it is a very complex phenomena but very important to consider. The hysteresis equations of Bouc-Wen, Lugre, and Dahl have been modeled and simulated in Matlab/Simulink. We have manipulated the different parameters in the models and analyzed their effects on the outcome. The hysteresis models of Bouc-Wen, Dahl and LuGre have been analyzed and compared analytically to really show the difference in the models. At last the Bouc-Wen model was implemented together with the SAS(Semi Active Suspension) system in the laboratory. The model parameters were tuned manually to try to fit the response of the system. In this paper a predefined methodology has been applied for determining the hysteresis loop parameters using the data collected for vibration analysis under predefined test specifications. The following data has been used later to regenerate the vibration signal, so on get as closer to the real signal. In the coming work, advanced method will be used to determine the exact parameters for the hysteresis loop as well as using the inverse hysteresis to improve the performace of the vibration suspension in the Semi Active Suspension system. The behavior of MR dampers can be presented with different mathematical models. The Bouc-Wen model was found to be model to both illustrate the MR damper and recreate the behavior of the SAS system.
