Experimental Tests of an Electromechanical Transducer of Reverse Linear Motion into Electrical Energy

Abstract

This document deals with the results of laboratory tests of an experimental electromechanical transducer for supplying an magnetorheological (MR) damper. The aim of the tests was to determine: the electromotive force induced in the sectionalized coil, the voltage and the current strength in the control coil of the damper as well as instantaneous power. The results provided are based on the tests of the transducer under periodic kinematic excitations and are compared with those achieved in numerical calculations.
