Flow property for magnetorheological dampers

Magnetorheological Dampers take advantage of the particular magnetorheological effect to work,which are widely applied for technical engineering.Generally as a viscous fluid,the flow of magnetorheological fluid(MR) is established mechanical model and analyzed in the design of magnetorheological damper.There is much difference between the theoretic result and experiment one.In this paper,the fluid dynamic model for MR as viscous-plastic fluid is presented to analyze the flow of magnetorheological damper,which provides foundation with the design of magnetorheological damper.
