Characteristics of a tuned magnetic fluid damper are examined. The optimal depth of a magnetic fluid in a cylindrical container is calculated using a linear analysis of a magnetic fluid sloshing. In order to avoid swirling in lower depth fluids, several experiments using greater fluid depths are carried out and a good damping range is obtained.
Damping parameters of a tuned magnetic fluid damper [TMFD] using a tuned mass damper [TMD] analogy model are obtained from approximation to frequency responses of experiments used some sort of magnetic fluids in a cylindrical container. An effective mass is changed by a magnetic field from downside, however a significant change of surface shape of magnetic fluids causes strange changing tendency. It was found that other parameters are changed according to the surface shape.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
