A quantizing method for determination of controlled damping parameters of magnetorheological damper models

摘要

A quantizing method, single parameter adjustment method (SPAM), is proposed so that the selection of controlled damping parameters of the magnetorheological (MR) damper models can be well founded. By using SPAM, only one parameter is identified each time, and the controlled damping parameters are selected according to their damping controllability. The relationships between the selected parameters and applied currents are determined by curve fitting. Genetic algorithm (GA) and pattern search (PS) are used to identify parameter values of the MR damper models. A modified Bouc-Wen model is considered and its parameters are obtained using these methods. Then the experimental data with different frequencies, amplitudes, and currents are used to verify the proposed SPAM. The results show that the simulation data agree well with the measured experimental data. Compared with the traditional identification method that relies on assumption and visual inspection, errors produced by SPAM are greatly reduced. At last, Bouc-Wen model and modified Dahl model are considered and analyzed using SPAM.
