To solve the problems of poor transmission performance and small torque regulation range of traditional MR device, a variable working gap MRF transmission device driven by electromagnetic force is proposed. The device uses electromagnetic force driving the squeeze disk to move axially to squeeze the MRF, thereby changing the number of working gaps and effective working thickness of the MRF to improve the transmission performance of the MR device. Based on the coil magnetization effect, the relationship between current, magnetic field intensity, and electromagnetic force is established. According to the driving characteristics of electromagnetic force and the rheological characteristics of MRF, a nonlinear function relationship between electromagnetic force and MRF working gap thickness and working volume is derived. Using the finite element method, a theoretical analysis of the magnetic circuit design, magnetic field distribution and temperature change profile in different parts of MRF device with different currents was conducted, the MRF torque transfer equations were deduced and calculated, and experimentally verified the correctness of the theoretical equations. Finally, the transmission performance of the variable working gap MRF transmission device is tested through the established testing system. Results show that, the required squeeze force is 6.65 kN when the MRF thickness reaches 1 mm in both working gaps. As the current increases from 0.5 to 3.0 A, the electromagnetic force increases from 0.65 to 6.77 kN, with an increase of 972.3%, the average temperature of the MRF in working gap I increases from 25.2°C to 71.2°C and the MRF in working gap II increases from 23.5°C to 48.3°C. When the current is 1.5 A, the MRF in the working gap I reaches magnetic saturation, continue to increase the current to 3.0 A, the MRF thickness in both working gaps is 1 mm, and the MR device transmits torque reach 376.6 N·m, which is 72.3% higher than that of the traditional MR device.

A novel high performance multi-walled carbon nano-polyvinylpyrrolidone/silicon-based shear thickening fluid (MWCNTs-PVP/SiO2-STF), abbreviated and subsequently referred to as MPS-STF, is developed in this paper. The rheological properties of the MPS-STF are investigated, and the viscosity model of MPS-STF is established. Furthermore, the MPS-STF based viscous fluid damper (MPS-STF-VFD) is designed according to the rheological characteristics of the novel fluid. The impact of loading frequencies, displacement amplitudes and the numbers of piston holes on the dynamic performance of the damper is studied through sophisticated multiple cases loading tests using MTS facility. The test results show that the loading frequency, displacement amplitudes and the number of piston holes have great influence on the rheological properties of MPS-STF. This directly affects the maximum damping force and heat dissipation capacity of MPS-STF-VFD. Finally, the mechanical model of the damper is established based on the principle of fluid mechanics. The simulation results agree well with the experimental data. The high damping performance of the MPS-STF-VFD can be achieved based on the characteristics of the modified fluid. Relevant results reported in this paper can provide an important solution for the development and application of damping technology in engineering structures.

The flexoelectric effect, garnering extensive attention in recent years, is an electro-mechanical coupled gradient effect that widely exists in dielectric materials and holds great potential for applications in structural sensing and actuation. The parabolic shell structure, characterized by line focusing, finds widespread use in key structural components such as solar trough collectors and communication antennas. Distributed sensing of the structural states of these parabolic shells is critical for vibration control, health monitoring, and shape control of precision structural systems. Therefore, flexoelectric sensing research based on parabolic shell structure has become an important topic. This study establishes a mathematical model for flexoelectric sensing in a parabolic shell with four-sided simply supported boundary conditions. The model is based on the direct flexoelectric effect, and thin shell assumption, and incorporates specific Lamé parameters and curvature radius. The electro-mechanical strain gradient/signal generation characteristics and distributed modal flexoelectric signals on the parabolic shell are investigated. The sensing signal under the open-circuit conditions is deduced, and the flexoelectric sensing signal and sensing characteristics of different modes are analyzed. The formulation of the flexoelectric neural sensing signal for the parabolic shell structure is provided and divided into two components: a circumferential bending component and a longitudinal bending component. In the case studies, the effects of design parameters such as flexoelectric sensor thickness, size, and aspect ratios are evaluated and compared. The analysis and results of this study offer a theoretical foundation and reference for refining the design parameters of the flexoelectric sensor and determining its optimal sensing position, and potentially paving the way for new applications of flexoelectric sensing technology.

Self-sensing concrete used in coating form for structural health monitoring of concrete structures has the merits of cost-effectiveness, offering protective effect on structural components, enabling electrical measurements unaffected by steel reinforcement and is also convenient to maintain and replace. This paper investigates the feasibility of using self-sensing cement mortar coating containing carbon nanotube-nano carbon black (CNT-NCB) composite fillers (CNCFs) for damage monitoring of concrete beams. The self-sensing cement mortar coated to concrete beams demonstrated outstanding electrical conductivity (resistivity ranging from 18 to 85 Ω·cm). Under monotonic flexural loadings, self-sensing cement mortar coating with 1.8 vol.% CNCFs featured sensitive self-sensing performance in terms of capturing the initiation of vertical cracks at pure bending span of concrete beams, with fractional change in resistivity (FCR) reaching up to 60.6%. Moreover, FCR variations of self-sensing cement mortar coating exhibited good synchronization and stability with the variation of mid-span deflections of concrete beams during cyclic flexural loadings irrespective of the contents of CNCFs and cyclic amplitudes. Remarkably, it was found that FCR of cement mortar coating basically showed a progressive upward tendency, representing irreversible increase in the resistance during cyclic loading. The irreversible residual FCR indicated the crack occurrence and damage accumulation of concrete beams.

Concrete is a highly heterogeneous construction material. Waves that propagate through concrete face significant reflection, scattering, and attenuation issues. Understanding the behavior of waves as they propagate through concrete and arrive at a sensor has generated much attention, especially for developing real-world field applications. In this study, a predictive model of attenuated P-wave propagation using Rayleigh damping is presented. The method used frequency excitations ranging from 20 to 200 kHz and smart aggregates (SAs) were embedded in a concrete specimen to excite and receive P-waves. Moreover, 10 distances were marked opposite the exciter at two propagation paths. In the simulations and experiments, signal processing methods were utilized to extract the first arrival packet for calculating amplitude attenuation. The P-wave damping coefficient was modeled using the multi-physical finite element method, and the results of the predictive model were compared with the experimental results. A discussion on the utilization of frequency-dependent attenuation coefficients was conducted to explore potential P-wave attenuation factors and their respective contributions to the overall attenuation. Numerical studies have demonstrated a strong correlation with the experiments when an appropriate level of material damping coefficient was considered. By enhancing the overall comprehension of the P-wave damping coefficient and attenuation characteristics within concrete, damage detection techniques based on P-waves can be improved.

In order to describe and predict the damping force of the magnetorheological damper with radial damping gap, a more accurate damping force calculation model is proposed through theoretical modeling. Firstly, according to the working environment of the heavy vehicle, a magnetorheological damper with radial damping gap is designed in a limited installation space, which has the characteristics of large damping force and tensile damping force greater than compression damping force. Secondly, based on the Bingham model for theoretical modeling, the analytical solution of the pressure drop gradient of the radial damping gap is obtained, and then a theoretical model that can more effectively reflect the mechanical characteristics of the radial damping gap is proposed. The dynamic characteristics of the designed magnetorheological damper are tested, and the experimental results verify that the designed structure has a good magnetorheological effect. When the current is 3 A, the maximum damping force of the damper exceeds 16 kN. Finally, by comparing the simulation results of the theoretical model with the experimental results, the results show that the established mathematical model can describe the experimental results well. The accuracy of the theoretical model is verified by comparing the proposed model with two commonly used models.

为了描述和预测带径向阻尼间隙磁流变阻尼器的阻尼力,通过理论建模,提出了一种较为精确的阻尼力计算模型。首先,根据重型车辆的工作环境,在有限的安装空间内设计出具有径向阻尼间隙的磁流变阻尼器,该阻尼器具有阻尼力大、拉伸阻尼力大于压缩阻尼力的特点。其次,基于宾厄姆模型进行理论建模,得到了径向阻尼间隙压降梯度的解析解,进而提出了更能有效反映径向阻尼间隙力学特性的理论模型。对所设计的磁流变阻尼器的动态特性进行了测试,实验结果验证了所设计的结构具有良好的磁流变效果。当电流为 3 A 时,阻尼器的最大阻尼力超过 16 kN。最后,通过比较理论模型的模拟结果和实验结果,结果表明所建立的数学模型能很好地描述实验结果。通过将所提出的模型与两个常用模型进行比较,验证了理论模型的准确性。

Firstly, according to the working environment of the heavy vehicle, a magnetorheological damper with radial damping gap is designed in a limited installation space, which has the characteristics of large damping force and tensile damping force greater than compression damping force. Secondly, based on the Bingham model for theoretical modeling, the analytical solution of the pressure drop gradient of the radial damping gap is obtained, and then a theoretical model that can more effectively reflect the mechanical characteristics of the radial damping gap is proposed. The dynamic characteristics of the designed magnetorheological damper are tested, and the experimental results verify that the designed structure has a good magnetorheological effect.

Magnetorheological (MR) energy absorbers (MREAs) have been extensively investigated as a means of dissipating impact energy and decreasing injury as well as used in a wide range of applications. When applied as an accidental collision buffer, however, problems can arise owing to the inertia of the sudden impact. In this study, a novel MREA with a gradient resistance gap structure working in a wedge-shaped squeeze flow model of a high-viscosity linear polysiloxane-based MR fluid was developed. The MREA has a continuously changing working gap and internal magnetic flux density gradient distribution representing a wedge-shaped structure. A Power-Law model inclusive of fluid minor losses (PLM)- of the damping force of an MREA with a wedge-shaped resistance gap was built to study the impact behavior. A second model also considered the effects of inertia (PLMI). The wedge angle was defined to quantitatively and comprehensively characterize the effects of the wedge-shaped resistance gap because of its significant influence on the dynamic characteristics. Two MREAs with wedge-shaped and equidistant working gaps were fabricated and tested using a drop tower facility with a mass of 600 kg. The experimental results show that the maximum damping force of the MREA with a wedge-shaped resistance working gap reached to as high as 235.8 kN and the dynamic range is increased by 6.5% compared to that with an equidistant working gap. The relative errors of the peak force for impact velocities between 2.8 and 4.2 m s−1 with no applied current were 1.84%–3.67% (PLM) and 0.63%–1.91% (PLMI), and with 3 A applied current were 2.35%–4.99% (PLM), and 1.24%–2.72% (PLMI), demonstrating that the PLMI-based model is capable of accurately predicting the dynamic behavior of the MREA.
