Abstract
A 400kN magnetorheological damper (MR damper) for a real base-isolated building was developed and its dynamic characteristics were verified by experimental tests. The MR damper has 950mm (+/-475mm) stroke and by-pass flow potion. A new type of Magnetorheological fluid is also developed in order to apply to the MR damper. MR fluid had a property of the settlement of particles in dampers. Authors developed a new MR fluid, which keeps the particles in the fluid adequately enough for usual use of MR damper. Analytical model was discussed in this paper. The force by the bingham visco-plastic model was compared with the results of experimental tests. It was found that this analytical model is useful to predict the capacity of the MR damper.
