Analysis of Simply Supported Mr Fluid Sandwich Beam

Abstract

Abstract :The existence of vibrations in undesired parts of mechanical machinery, civil structures, aerospace and automotive components,will cause overall setback and efficiency reductions in processes when the above parts are used. Hence is advising to completely get rid of the unnecessary vibrations or reduce them to a minimum possible value. This experiment is an effort to reduce these vibrations using Magneto Rheological fluids. A Magneto Rheological fluid provides viscous damping. The damping factor increases when a magnetic field is applied and is multiplied as the strength of the magnetic field is more, also the natural frequency of the body under test changes from to a value which is different from the initial value. This technique was utilized and a three layered MR fluid sandwich beam was fabricated. This beam was subjected to testing and analysis under both undamped and damped conditions. The controllability of variations in the various dynamic parameters like natural frequencies, vibration amplitudes and damping factors were observed. A reduction is natural frequency of beam was obtained in the presence of MR fluid under magnetic field, from 550 Hz to 300 Hz
