A Review on Optimal Design of Magneto-Rheological Damper

In recent years, research works are done mostly in the field of Semi-Active Control systems, like Magneto Rheological dampers to reduce the effect of seismic vibrations in the structures. In this paper, researchers working in optimal design of MR dampers using various developed control Algorithms, propose the most efficient model of MR fluid, done by comparing various primary design parameters, and the variation of each parameter with respect to the other has been studied in detail. Optimal Design of MR dampers to resist the maximum damping force, in order to have reduced vibrations and hence, the validation of results for the maximum damping force and damping displacements mainly depends upon the application of an external magnetic field or no field i.e Rheology On-State and Off-State. The study on various configurations of design of analytical methods have been done.
