MAGNETO-RHEOLOGICAL FLUID DAMPER HAVING ENHANCED ON-STATE YIELD STRENGTH

摘要

A magneto-rheological fluid valve includes a magnetic field generator having at least one electromagnetic coil (204) and at least one magnetic pole having a pole length Lm.The magneto-rheological fluid valve further includes at least one flow channel (118) adjacent to the electromagnetic coil. The at least one flow channel has a gap width g, wherein the ratio Lm/g is greater than or equal to 15.
