Abstract
The magnetorheological suspension (MRS), due to its controllability, can be used as the basis for new devices and technologies. The most important element of any MR device is a magnetorheological transducer (MRT), a controllable hydraulic resistance. Its mathematical model is obtained using quasi-stationary approximation and taking into account the transient processes in the magnetic field inductor. The designs of damping and anti-shock devices using the MR element base are ideologically most simple. A description of such a device is obtained by supplementing the system of equations that describe MRT dynamics with the relations, including hydromechanical pro cesses, in a hydraulic cylinder. MRT can be used to design flexible bridge-like distributors to control hydraulic actuators. The experimental study has shown the possibility of using MRS as a working medium in seals.
