Abstract:This article delivered an innovative idea of a magnetorheological (MR) damper for secondary suspension of train bogie. The valve inside MR damper adopted meandering of both fluid flow and magnetic flux for improving magnetization area. In this work, the design and working principle of the MR valve were presented including a mathematical model to predict the pressure drop. In the early stage, the finite element method magnetics software (FEMM) simulation could predict the magnetic flux density across the passag… Show more
Mufflers are an essential part of the engine system and commonly used in the exhaust system to minimize sound transmissions caused by exhaust flow. The primary objective of a muffler is to reduce engine noise emission. Mufflers have a sophisticated design that affects fuel efficiency, noise characteristics and emission of engine. In the selection of a muffler for an internal combustion engine of a Formula SAE, several functional requirements should be considered, which include both acoustic and non-acoustical design issues. Attention must also be given to problems of space availability and configuration. The best material for the purpose must be chosen. Equally important is the most economical utilization of this material, both from the standpoint of original availability and cost, as well as the practical aspect of ease of production. Not only the basic acoustical design but also some of the problems of fabrication and attachment will be discussed.
