Abstract

In this research work, a high compact-size magneto-rheological brake (MR brake) featuring a complex-shaped rotor is investigated. After an overview of MR brake development, a new configuration of disc-type MR brake with complex-shaped rotor is proposed. The complex-shaped rotor has the I-shaped cross-section in order to increase contact area between the brake rotor and working magneto-rheological fluid (MRF), by which a high braking torque can be archived. The proposed brake has one coil on each side to create a mutual magnetic field with magnetic lines going across the working MRF in the gap between the rotor and the housing. The induced magnetic field causes MRF in the duct to be solidified, which results in a controllable braking torque. In order to obtained optimal structure of the MR brake, optimization of the brake considering the maximum braking torque and the mass of the MR brake are carried out. The results are then compared with previously developed MR brake.
