Physical characteristics of magnetorheological suspensions and their applications

This paper reviews the potential applications of magnetorheological suspensions along with their rheological and electro-conductive properties under an applied magnetic field. Linked to these physical properties, the range of potential engineering applications of their linear and revolving vibrations include shock absorbers, dampers, clutches, magneto-resistors, magnetic field sensors and ultrafine polishing technology. Improvements in the electrical characteristics of steady current generators, rotary dampers under high and low pressures, kineto-therapeutic devices and medical applications are also covered.
