Abstract

The present paper deal with evaluation of magnetic field distribution in a magnetorheological fluid valve with radially positioned external electromagnetic coil and a non-magnetic spacer. The JAYA, grey wolf optimization (GWO) and gradient based Optimization techniques are used. The general construction of MR damper consists of internal electromagnetic coil and it will be a single coil. In the present paper, MR damper is designed analytically and the dimensions of the each components are identified. Using these dimensions a 3D CAD model is constructed and this model consisting of six independent electromagnetic coil assembled around the flow channel. The highly non-linear distribution of magnetic flux density in the flow channel is evaluated at different in put currents and the contour plots are examined in detail. In the later part of this paper, an investigation has been conducted to optimize the design parameter which are all effecting the magnetic flux density in the flow channel. The contribution of each design parameters are observed through statistical analysis. It has been observed that the insertion on non-magnetic spacer between the two poles also got certain influence on the response i.e., magnetic field.
