ABSTRACT
The paper summarises the results of laboratory testing of three commercially available magnetorheological (MR) fluids operated in the oscillatory squeeze mode. Tested fluids include the Basonetic 204 and Basonetic 4035 (BASF) and MRF-122EG (Lord Corporation). The oscillatory squeeze mode produces large forces at small displacements. This feature may be well utilised in fabrication of new MR devices. The purpose of the experiments was to evaluate the suitability of MR fluids for applications in MR vibration dampers being developed under the current research project. The results enable a comparative analysis of investigated fluids and verification of phenomena encountered in the oscillatory squeeze mode and reported in the literature.
