As a novel MR material, MRF-PF has been introduced, prepared, and measured to analyze the pre-yield property between complex shear modulus and magnetic fields. MRF-PF is used into the flexible sandwich beam as core layer. Pre-yield property with tunable stiffness is used to adjust the dynamic response. Then, a theoretical model is derived which can precisely describe the performance. Based on experimental results, sandwich beam incorporated MRF-PF has a good performance of controllability. When the magnetic field is applied into the free end, the natural frequency decreases with increasing the currents and filling ratio. In contrast, the frequency and amplitude increase when the clamped end is exposed to the magnetic fields. Comparing with other investigations, this proposed sandwich beam incorporated MRF-PF has a larger frequency range. The first and second natural frequency show the increases of 54.8% and 77.2%, respectively. The reduction of amplitude is closely related to the thickness of face plate. Therefore, the performance of the compound sandwich beam can be significantly improved by MRF-PF.","PeriodicalId":16121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135481050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, numerical simulations and predictions of the temperature rise characteristics of the MRD are performed and heat sinks are designed and optimized. The experimental results verify the efficiency of the simulations and predictions, and the heat sinks can significantly reduce the rate of temperature increase and improve the ability of the damper to operate for long hours. In order to accurately compensate for T-dependence characteristics of the MRD, a T-dependence hysteresis model and a model-based feedforward force tracking control method with disturbance observation of the MRD are proposed and validated by experiments.

Therefore, we innovatively propose a multi-stage roller type MRTD to improve the heat generation problem fundamentally. The steady-state and transient temperature fields of the multi-stage roller type MRTD are simulated using the thermal analysis module in ANSYS based on the temperature field formulation.

The excitation experiment results show that there is an optimal resistance value of the harvester to maximize the output power value. When the excitation acceleration is 0.4 g and the excitation frequency is 9 Hz, the output voltage value and the output power of the electromagnetic part of the energy harvester are 0.86 V and 2.47 mW respectively, and the output performance is excellent. When the energy harvester is installed in a backpack with a moving speed of 9 km/h, it can generate 0.7 mW of power. When the energy harvester is placed on the leg, the output performance is good and the output power can reach 1.3 mW. The energy harvester can efficiently harvest energy at low frequencies.

To improve wind tunnel testing safety and data accuracy, this paper is dedicated to establish an active vibration control system using piezoelectric stack actuators. A novel methodology of vibration monitoring based on modal transformation, which uses measured strain and a Strain-to-Displacement Transformation (SDT) matrix to reconstruct dynamic displacement field, is proposed herein. Meanwhile, strain sensor positions are optimized by an improved Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to reduce systematic estimation errors of this method. Furthermore, a Back-Propagated Neutral Network (BPNN) is established to implement a self-adaptive control strategy. A series of verification tests are performed to demonstrate the validity of the proposed system. Experimental results indicate that the relative Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) between estimated vibration displacement and measured vibration displacement is less than 3%, and a vibration attenuation of over 14 dB/Hz is achieved in ground tests, proving the superiority of this intelligent active vibration suppression system.","PeriodicalId":16121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86685338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondly, multi-physical simulations of the MRB are conducted to investigate the transient temperature field, thermal stress and thermal strain distribution of the MRB under different braking models; Finally, a performance evaluating testbed is built to experimentally assess the braking performance of the MRB. The results indicate that the theoretical braking torque of the MRB fulfills the target value. The thermal strain-induced deformation of the disc is minimal and has a negligible effect on the torque output.

The ability to respond to an external magnetic field is imparted by the fillers, while the load-bearing capability is determined by the matrix type. In this paper, the effect of matrix material on the properties of magnetorhological elastomer is explored experimentally. Carbonyl iron particle content is varied by 0%, 15% and 25% by volume to produce magnetorheological elastomer samples using natural rubber, silicone rubber and nitrile butadiene rubber matrices. Forced transmissibility test approach was employed to evaluate the field induced variations in the dynamic stiffness and loss factor of magnetorheological elastomers. The dynamic stiffness of nitrile butadiene rubber is the highest, while that of silicone rubber is the lowest. Addition of carbonyl iron particles significantly improves stiffness, although these gains depend on the properties of unfilled matrix. The addition of 25% by volume of carbonyl iron particle increased the dynamic stiffness of a silicone rubber matrix based magnetorheological elastomer by 67.78%, while the similar change in magnetorheological elastomer with nitrile butadiene rubber matrix was 38.58%. The field dependent response of magnetorheological elastomers is governed by the matrix and ferromagnetic filler concentration. These qualities are higher in magnetorheological elastomer with a low initial dynamic stiffness matrix and lower in magnetorheological elastomers with a stiffer matrix.","PeriodicalId":16121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89542848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
