Abstract

Electrorheological fluids (ERF) belong to the class of so-called smart materials. The viscosity of these fluids is continuously controllable. Thus ERF-devices are excellent interfaces between electronic control units and mechanical systems [5]. The application within vehicle suspensions exploits the controllability of high frequencies and forces over a wide range. In this paper we will focus on control issues rather than on ERF damper modeling.
