SummaryCoils are widely used in magnetorheological dampers, solenoid valves, and electron guns, where a quick response of the magnetic induction to the excitation voltage is needed. To achieve a quick response, the response time of the magnetic induction relative to the current and that of the current relative to the voltage should be shortened as much as possible. The latter is dominant in the total response time and can be shortened by using voltage control with an increased resistance or current control. The current time responses of the Helmholtz coils based on voltage control with an increased resistance and current control are measured. The results indicate that the current response times of the coils based on voltage control with resistances of 23.7 and 162 Ω and current control with a resistance of 23.7 Ω are 235.3, 42.3, and 62.1 μs, respectively. The current time responses of the voltage control are smooth, while those of the current control have large oscillations. Based on Kirchhoff's equilibrium equation, an overshoot voltage waveform design method is proposed to shorten the current response time and eliminate the current oscillations. The experimental results show that the current time response is smooth, and the current response time can be shortened by 91.8%, 54.4%, and 68.9% in comparison with those of the former three control cases. The demonstration experiments of the effect of the different control methods on the electron‐beam scanning path and hot spot distribution show that the scanning path and dwell duration are closer to the expected ones with the proposed method. The proposed method is of great value for improving the damping performance of a magnetorheological damper, the accuracy of the fluid injection of a solenoid valve, and the accuracy of the electron‐beam thermal assessment.

The paper deals with design, simulation and experimental testing of a magnetorheological (MR) valve with short response time. The short response time is achieved by a suitable design of an active zone in combination with use of a ferrite material for magnetic circuit. The magneto-static model and the simplified hydraulic model of the MR valve are examined and experimentally verified. The development the MR valve achieves an average response time 4.1 ms and the maximum dynamic force range of eight.
The significant problem of magnetorheological (MR) dampers is their poor fail-safe ability. In the case of power supply failure, the damper remains in a low damping state which is dangerous for several technical applications. This can be solved by accommodating a permanent magnet to the magnetic circuit of the damper. Currently, the MR dampers are used in progressive semiactive (S/A) control of suspension systems. The dynamics (force response time) of the damper is an important parameter that affects the performance of semiactive control. The main goal of this paper is to introduce the dynamic behavior of MR damper with a permanent magnet. The damper design with the permanent magnet in the magnetic circuit, transient magnetic simulation including magnetic hysteresis and eddy currents, and experiments are presented. The magnetic field response time and MR damper force response time are measured and also determined from magnetic simulation. The permanent magnet significantly influences the MR damper dynamics. The decrease of the damping force from a fail-safe state -medium damping to off-state -low damping is significantly faster (2 ms, -1A) than the increase to on-state -high damping (12 ms, 1A). The exact value is depending on the electric current magnitude and piston velocity. The damper achieved fail-safe damping force approximately 1/3 of the maximum damping force. The exact value of the fail-safe force is magnetization history-dependent. The maximum dynamic force range is 8.5 which is comparable with the common design of MR damper.
