Development of fuzzy logic controller for magnetorheological rotary brake system by Rashid, Muhammad Mahbubur, Hussain, Mohamed Azlan, Abd Rahim, Nasrudin, Salami, Momoh Jimoh Emiyoka

“…This effect is the result of changes in the fluid structure: the ferromagnetic particles of the fluid, being single domains, when subjected to an external magnetic field, become orientated and concentrated along the lines of forces of the magnetic Field. The design of the electromechanical converters mentioned above permits the space between the casing and the moving component of the converter to be filled with the magnetorheological fluid. …”
