Abstract :

In this paper, a linear MR damper model is designed using COMSOL finite element simulation software. In conventional finite element MR damper modeling, selecting the MR fluid property is a big challenge, which has been resolved entirely in this COMSOL MR damper modeling. The overall design procedure of the damper model is discussed briefly in this work. This dynamic simulation clearly illustrates the magnetic flux generation around the piston coil. By this COMSOL simulation the induced magnetic flux density, magnetic field intensity, applied current density, temperature gradient, etc., are analyzed. The design optimization has done only for piston design variation for analyzing the vibration controlling force. According to the previous finite element analysis, all researchers have used ANSYS software where the MR fluid property selection is the big challenge. For solving this problem, in this study, an MR damper model is designed and COMSOL Multiphysics software is used for finite element analysis. Finally, the analytical study is compared with experimental results for the proposed model�s validation.
