  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Automotive Tribology

Part of the book series: Energy, Environment, and Sustainability ((ENENSU))

Abstract

The chapter deals smart fluid i.e. Magneto Rheological fluid which is gaining interest of researcher as the range of application is vast. This book chapter starts with introduction of MR fluid, constituents of MR fluid and detailed study of each constituent. Also, discussing about the present necessity of MR fluid technology we discuss the operational modes of MR fluid. MR devices function basically on three operational modes of MR fluid i.e. flow mode, shear mode and squeeze mode. Every mode possess its own characteristics in high performance application system. Further Mathematical modelling of various rheological parameters and MR fluid is carried out, there after the detailed synthesis process and characterization of MR fluid is discussed. At last overview of MR fluid application is discussed and in detailed progress in MR brakes and clutch system is discussed.
