The newly developed ideal rectifier bridge equipped with four N-type MOSFETs and two rail-to-rail operational amplifiers is a part of a typical energy harvesting conditioning circuit responsible for the rectification stage in the system of converting the energy harvested from vibrations into electrical energy to power the MR damper. The only energy loss in the bridge is caused by the voltage loss in transistors’ channels. The first sections of the work summarises the structural design of the bridge, the simulation procedure under the RL load and by sine voltage inputs with predetermined frequency and amplitude range, and benchmarks the results against those obtained for the conventional bridge based on Schottky diodes. In the second section, the PCB prototype of the bridge is analysed, and measurement data are compiled. The third section reports on the laboratory testing of the developed bridge converting the harvested energy in an MR damper-based vibration reduction system.

In this paper, the modelling process and control strategy of a semi-active seat suspension with a magneto-rheological damper (MR) is presented. The proposed system should protect operators of working machines against vibration in the horizontal direction. The control algorithm mimics the desired force that might be introduced into the seat suspension actively. The model parameters are determined experimentally as a function of the control current. The elaborated system is tested by using an electro-hydraulic shaker that generates vibrations for the semi-active seat suspension with the seated human body. Power spectral densities and transmissibility functions are presented as the results of simulations and measurements. In addition, transmissibility factors and maximum relative displacements of the suspension are evaluated for both the conventional passive seat suspension and the semi-active system with an MR damper.

The study investigates the self-sensing ability in an energy harvesting magnetorheological damper (EHMRD). The device consists of a conventional linear MR damper and an electromagnetic harvester. The objective of the work is to demonstrate that the EHMRD with specific self-powered feature can also serve as a velocity sensor. Main components of the device and design structure are summarized and its operation principle is highlighted. The diagram of the experimental set-up incorporating the measurement and processing unit is provided, the experimental procedure is outlined and data processing is discussed. The self-sensing function is proposed whereby the relative velocity of the EHMRD can be reconstructed from the electromotive force (emf) induced in the harvester coil. To demonstrate the adequacy of the self-sensing action (i.e., the induced emf should agree well with the relative velocity), the proposed self-sensing function is implemented and tested in the embedded system that will be a target control platform. Finally, the test results of the system utilizing a switching control algorithm are provided to demonstrate the potentials of the EHMRD acting as a velocity sensor and to confirm its applicability in semi-active vibration control systems.

Magnetorheological (MR) shock absorbers are semi-active devices based on smart fluids. The fluid when exposed to magnetic field undergoes a transition from a liquid to a pseudo-solid. The change is reversible and fast and it has made the material attractive for use in semi-active real-time systems for vibration reduction. At the same time designing a shock absorber is a complex process due to the multi-physics involved. In this paper the author shows an approach that can be used for virtual prototyping studies of MR flow-mode devices. Magnetostatic calculations are followed by time-harmonics analyses of the circuit of the valve. The analysis is then complemented by a parametric study of the controller-damper system subjected to regulated (commanded) current step inputs using a lumped parameter model of the MR valve.

Tłumiki magnetoreologiczne (MR) należą do grupy semi-aktywnych urządzeń wykorzystującyc tzw. ciecze inteligentne. Ciecz magnetoreologiczna jest zawiesiną cząstek ferromagnetycznych I nalezy do grupy materiałów o sterowalnych właściwościach reologicznych. Ciecz MR umieszczona w polu magnetycznym zmianie zmienia lepkość pozorną. Zmiana ta jest szybka i odwracalna, a końcowy stan materiału zależy od natężenia pola magnetycznego. Dzięki temu materiały te znalazły zastosowanie w semi-aktywnych układach redukcji drgań. Zaprojektowanie tłumika MR o odpowiednich osiągach jest jednak zadaniem złożonym. W niniejszym artykule autor przedstawia koncepcję budowy modelu systemu MR obejmującego tłumik i regulator PWM. Na wybranym przykładzie przedstawiono wyniki obliczeń polowych magnetostatycznych i harmonicznych obwodu tłumika. Wyniki obliczeń posłużyły m.in. do budowy modelu obwodu sterującego tłumika o parametrach skupionych z regulatorem.

The paper is devoted to the analysis and research of the possibility of adapting magnetorheological damper to minimize the unfavorable dynamic phenomena affecting the shooter when firing from a hunting shotgun. A design and construction of a so-called “smart” device is discussed. The damper was installed inside a modified shotgun stock, and used to reduce the value of recoil force acting on the shooter’s shoulder. The proposed solution minimizes the recoil, increases the comfort of use of the weapon and consequently improves the accuracy. The effectiveness of the solution has been verified experimentally.

The paper summarises the results of laboratory testing of an energy harvesting vibration reduction system based on a magnetorheological (MR) damper whose control circuit incorporates a battery of bipolar electrolytic capacitors (current cut-off circuit). It is designed to reduce the undesired effects in vibration reduction systems of this type, associated with the increasing amplitude of the sprung mass vibration under the excitation inputs whose frequency should exceed the resonance frequency of the entire system. Results have demonstrated that incorporating a current cut-off circuit results in a significant decrease of sprung mass vibration amplitudes when the frequency of acting excitation inputs is higher than the resonance frequency.

Vibration of a wind turbine tower is related to fatigue wear, influencing reliability of the whole structure. The current paper deals with the problem of Linear-Quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) tower vibration control using specially designed and built simulation and laboratory tower-nacelle models with a horizontally aligned, magnetorheological (MR) damper based tuned vibration absorber located at the nacelle. Force excitation applied horizontally to the tower itself, or to the nacelle, is considered. The MR damper LQG control algorithm, including the Kalman state observer and LQR (Linear-Quadratic-Regulator) controller is analysed numerically and implemented on the laboratory ground, in comparison with the system with a deactivated absorber. Simulation and experimental results are presented.

The study investigates an energy harvesting system utilising rotary motion. The system has three components: a rotary MR damper to vary the damping characteristics, a rotary power generator (energy extractor) producing electrical power, and a conditioning electronics unit to interface directly with the damper and the generator.

The paper outlines the structure of the damper and the generator, provides selected results of examination of the system components and the whole system under idle run and under load for the assumed speed range. The results demonstrate that the system is adaptable to external excitations, does not require an extra power supply and provides a smart solution with potential applications to rotary motion control.

Wind turbine tower dynamic stress is related to the fatigue wear and reliability of the whole wind turbine structure. This paper deals with the problem of tower vibration control using a specially designed and built laboratory model. The considered wind turbine tower-nacelle model consists of a vertically arranged stiff rod (representing the tower), and a system of steel plates (representing nacelle and turbine assemblies) fixed at its top. The horizontally aligned tuned vibration absorber (TVA) with magnetorheological (MR) damper is located also at the top of the rod (in nacelle system). Force excitation sources applied horizontally to the tower itself and to the nacelle were both considered. The MR damper real-time control algorithms, including ground hook control and its modification, sliding mode control, linear and nonlinear (cubic and square root) damping, and adaptive solutions are compared to the open-loop case with various constant MR damper input current values and system without MR TVA (i.e., MR TVA in “locked” state). Comprehensive experimental analyses and their results are presented.

The interface model was formulated and computer simulations were performed to find out how the parameters of the interface should influence the frequency responses of the vibration reduction system.
