Magneto-Rheological Damper Characterization Tests at HIT

A series of characterization tests have been conducted on the Magneto-Rheological damper towards generating Bouc-Wen model. MTS FlexTest GT has been used for data collection. Data has been sampled at 1000 Hz. dSpace is used to generate the necessary voltage for current driver. A series of 10 mm amplitude sine wave of 2, 2.9 and 4 Hz with various voltage levels. Rep-1: 0.00 V Rep-2: 0.35 V Rep-3: 0.70 V Rep-4: 1.00 V Rep-5: 1.40 V Rep-6: 1.70 V
