MR Fluid Valve Design and Magnetic Circuit Design Various MR Valve Configuration using Permanent Magnets No. 1: This configuration is essentially the same geometry as we have used in the MR syringe demo. While this will work as a valve, one can improve performance substantially by making the magnetic circuit more efficient. This simple configuration is just that - simple. It was intended to illustrate the effect as simply as possible without worrying much about absolute performance or efficiently Source: Lord Corporation, Materials Division 2 DaLian University of Technology Edited by: Dr. Song 2 2 Smart Materials and Structures 11. MR Fluid Valve Design and Magnetic Circuit Design #2 - #7 are a series of modified valve configurations that will provide progressively better performance.
