چکیده

Magnetorheological Fluids (MRF) are used in a wide range of controlled systems. MRFs have found widespread commercial use, particularly in vibration control. MRF is a type of intelligent fluid found in oil carriers. A magnetic field raises a fluid's apparent viscosity until it becomes a viscoelastic solid. A variable magnetic field intensity controls the fluid's yield stress when it is active. Control-based applications can be created by using an electromagnet to control the fluid's ability to transmit force. In MRF, more nuanced ferrofluid particles are used. Brownian motion cannot suspend MR fluid particles in the carrier fluid due to their thickness. Brownian motion suspends nano-sized ferrofluid iron particles, which reduce sedimentation and increases the performance of the MRF. Dampers, brakes, bearings, pneumatic artificial muscles, optics finishing, fluid clutches, and aerospace all use MRF technology. The characteristics, applications, modes, and models of MRF are investigated in this paper. Understanding yielding, flow, and viscoelastic behavior in the presence of shearing fluxes are critical. Various applications of MRF in various domain of engineering is discussed with valid examples. In a concise manner, the author discusses the utility of MRF for active and semi-active vibration control systems.
