Modelling Magnetorheological Dampers in Preyield and Postyield Regions

Figure 1

(a) Time response of the MR damper body temperature for three different currents (0, 0.5, and 1 A) and (b) sample of a damper force cycle with a constant current of 1 A after different elapsed times (1, 25, and 90 minutes). In both cases, the excitation is a sinusoidal excitation of 8 mm amplitude and 2 Hz frequency.
