Magnetorheological Suspension Damper for Space Application
Kubík, Michal ; Porteš, Petr (referee) ; dr hab. inż. Janusz Gołdasz, prof. PK (referee) ; Mazůrek, Ivan (advisor)
Disertační se práce se zabývala vývojem magnetoreologického (MR) tlumiče odpružení pro kosmonautiku. Dle současného stavu poznání jsou důležitými parametry pro semi-aktivně řízený tlumič pro kosmonautiku hermetické oddělení pracovní kapaliny od zbytku nosiče a krátká časová odezva tlumícího elementu. Těmto požadavkům vyhovuje magnetoreologický tlumič s vlnovcovou jednotkou. Magnetický obvod MR tlumiče pro kosmonautiku byl vyroben z feritového materiálu, který umožnil výrazně snížit časovou odezvu. Hermetičnost byla zajištěna použitím vlnovcové jednotky. Konstrukce takového typu tlumiče ovšem přináší celou řadu problémů. Vyvinutý MR tlumič s feritovým magnetickým obvodem dosahoval časové odezvy 4.1 ms a dynamického rozsahu 8. Během konstrukčních prací na MR tlumiči pro kosmonautiku byly hledány nové metody pro konstrukci semi-aktivně řízeného MR tlumiče s krátkou časovou odezvou. Konkrétně se jednalo o metodu eliminace vířivých proudů v magnetickém obvodu MR tlumiče, magnetostatický a transietní magnetický model, CFD model obtokové štěrbiny, hydraulický model MR tlumiče a jejich experimentální verifikace. Tyto nové metody umožní konstrukci MR tlumiče pro kosmonautiku lehčí, s nižší časovou odezvou a vyšším dynamickým rozsahem.

The study of sedimentation of MR fluids for space applications
Vančurová, Martina ; Strecker, Zbyněk (referee) ; Roupec, Jakub (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with experimental determination of the effect of iron particle size on the sedimentation rate of magnetorheological (MR) fluids. MR fluids from three producers are examined here: Liquids Research Limited (Great Britain), HaoHua (China) a LORD Corporation (USA). Particles describing the effect of MR fluids’ different attributes on their sedimentation are summarized in an overview of current knowledge. The development of the Matlab script, that detects and measures the size of particles in the input electron microscope images, is presented. The particles are also measured manually in some images, which is partly used as a reference measurement for the developed script. The particle size measurement results are then compared with the sedimentation behavior of examined MR fluids.

Magnetorheological fluid response time in shear mode
Válek, Josef ; Vimmr, Jan (referee) ; Kubík, Michal (advisor)
Magnetorheological fluids (MRF) are suspensions of (commonly) oils and carbonyl iron powder. Under magnetic field, apparent viscosity of suspension changes in short time. This so-called response time can’t be neglected in modern MR devices. Multiple response times are distinguished based on load mode. Rheological response time (MRF under shear rate) will be affected by load and composition of MRF. In this thesis, these influencing parameters are investigated, which was allowed by developing rheometer with minimal hardware response time and methodology. Gained data shows, that most affecting parameter is ratio of inner forces, described e.g., Mason number. Model of Mason number was verified for larger values, but in lower values, significant difference was observed (probably caused by different shear stress mechanism in MRF). After other investigation and clarification of model, precise prediction of MRF and MR devices behaviour will be possible, which can lead to improving their function and e.g., road safety.

Design of Vibroisolation Strut with Minimal Friction Losses
Jančík, Kryštof ; Mazůrek, Ivan (referee) ; Macháček, Ondřej (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis is focused on design of Vibroisolation Strut, whose damper uses magnetorheological (MR) fluid. In order to take the full advantage of semiactively controlled MR damper to provide a wide control range, it demands a low value of friction losses, which is mainly caused by used seals. The first part is dedicated to research of dampers, aiming to find the ideal design that ensures this demand. In this purpose, friction of some rod seals was also experimentally determined. Further, calculations which were necessary to determine the MR damper's damping characteristic were carried out and the function of its magnetic circuit was verified by using FEM software. The parameters of the final design of the strut were adjusted for using in an automatic washing machine.

Study on wear of material in contact with MR fluid
Žáček, Jiří ; Vimmr, Jan (referee) ; Kubík, Michal (advisor)
This paper is focused on MR dampers and its critical parts in term of damper`s durability, which seems to be a piston-rod seals, and it should find an ideal material combination of seal and MR fluid for increasing the damper`s life. The tests were conducted in modified pin-on-flat configuration, which was supposed to be more suitable for laboratory testing. There was tested and compared a suitable material for seals, like PTFE, NBR, SBR of polyurethanes. The article is also focused on MR fluids and its contribution to seal`s wear. The impact of particle concentration, wear of MR fluid and effect of modification of MR fluid was tested. It showed up, that the best material for seal is H-PU95FDA. The effect of particle concentration is negligible on seal`s wear, while effect of modification and wear of MR fluids are significantly higher.

Slit flow rheometer for magnetic and non-magnetic fluids
Železník, Tomáš ; Vimmr, Jan (referee) ; Roupec, Jakub (advisor)
In this thesis was designed, manufactured and tested the fourth evolution of a slit-flow rheometer with another necessary parts, eg. rheometer`s holder, drive frame and important jig tools. The rheometer is able to measure rheological properties of magnetic and non-magnetic fluids at very high shear rates, which commercial rheometers can not reach. It is designed for 200 bar pressure and maximum load 15 kN. The construction of the slit-flow rheometer with it`s holder and drive frame improves user friendliness, accelerates change of the fluid sample and expands research opportunities thanks to a big space for additional adjustments. It is possible to use different length of the slit and thanks to a changeable inserts it is possible to change parameters of the slit (roughness of the walls, wall material, thickness of the slit). A part of this thesis was focused on illation of necessary equations for planning calibration measurements. Aim of these measurements is to obtain minor pressure losses dependence on Reynolds number for specific slit.

Study on kinetic stability of suspension with magnetorheological properties
Vlachová, Kristýna ; Kráčalík, Milan (referee) ; Smilek, Jiří (advisor)
Sedimentation in magnetorheological (MR) fluids is undesirable for many technological applications. For this reason, several ways have been proposed to prevent sedimentation instability. This thesis deals specifically with the addition of a suitable additive. The topic was examined based on available literature and according to it was suggested a procedure for the experimental part. Two types of MR liquids with different composition and preparation method were prepared. The first suspensions included a water-in-oil emulsion as a carrier liquid and Span 80 and Tween 80 as additives. For the second MR fluids, the continuous phase was a blend of bearing oils and the suspension was stabilized with organoclay. In both cases, carbonyl iron particles with a diameter of 1,8–2,3 µm were used. The kinetic stability of the prepared MR fluids was monitored and compared using an analytical centrifuge.
