Physics
Magnetorheological suspension
Compare passive suspension with a current-controlled yield-stress damper.
Try this
Sweep the road frequency through resonance. Change coil current and compare the two masses and dissipated energy.
The model and its limits
Two vertical mass-spring rigs with a smoothed Bingham damper and finite coil response. Particle chains are explanatory, not resolved microscopically.
Equations used in the module
Equations m x″ + k (x-y) + F_d = 0 F_d = c v + F_y tanh(v/v_0) P_d = F_d v ≥ 0
