title = "MR fluid-based damping force control for vehicle cabin vibration suppression",
abstract = "The goals of the research contribution presented in this paper were to gather knowledge on the dynamic properties of adjustable magnetorheological fluid (MR fluid) dampers, to test and compare semi-active skyhook and fuzzy control algorithms and to gain expertise in the practical application of MR dampers and semi-active control methods. The research work included dynamic loading tests of a single MR damper to characterise dynamic damper force behaviour, plus computer simulations to design and compare different control system approaches. In the final phase, laboratory test bench measurements for a tractor cabin assembly equipped with MR dampers and a control system were conducted to test alternative control schemes and the complete system. The main conclusion is that the MR fluid-based semi-active vibration control system is a feasible new technique. It includes promising features for various suspension needs in mobile machines, for which better performing and cost-effective alternatives for rigid joints and passive suspension are required.",
