Optimum Method of Magneto-rheological Damper Design

Magneto-rheological (MR) damper has been concentrated for its adjustable damping force. Because it´s complex nonLinear property and a lot of regulatory parameter, it is difficult to design a reasonable MR damper by simply process or experience. To solve this problem an optimum method has been presented in this article. The method based on flux equation of MR damper and common design targets which include maximal output damping force, dynamic range, power of excitation and consult volume of damper has been presented and been solved by multi-goal attach algorithm. To demonstrate the usage of the optimum method, an example about a valve model MR damper has been presented at the last.
