A magnetorheological fluid (MR fluid, or MRF) is a type of smart fluid in a carrier fluid, usually a type of oil. When subjected to a magnetic field, the fluid greatly increases its apparent viscosity, to the point of becoming a viscoelastic solid. Importantly, the yield stress of the fluid when in its active ("on") state can be controlled very accurately by varying the magnetic field intensity. The upshot is that the fluid's ability to transmit force can be controlled with an electromagnet, which gives rise to its many possible control-based applications.
At present, magnetorheological fluids have been used in grinding (polishing) processes, valves and seals, home fitness machines, manipulator grasping mechanisms, support stands for irregular shapes in assembly workshops, as well as in automation instrumentation, robotic sensors and mining and printing industries. Among its numerous application fields, the most researched and developed application fields are automobile seat shock absorber, brake, active driver and soil mould shock absorber.
