Using Machine Learning Techniques in Predictive Modelling of Magnetorheological Fluids

Research Group Activity

Machine Learning, Material Modelling

Project Description

The demand for magnetorheological fluid (MRF) is increasing due to the adoption of smart suspension systems in robotic surgery and the automotive and aerospace industry.

Constitutive modelling of MRFs is a crucial step in modelling MR devices, like MR dampers, MR brakes, MR clutches, and MR medical haptic devices. Due to the number of parameters that play role in the magneto-mechanical behaviour of MRFs, machine learning techniques could be promising tools to improve the predictive capabilities of material models.

The prospective researcher will be provided with some experimental data on a few MRFs to run the analysis by MATLAB machine learning toolbox in order to generate predictive models for the MRFs under study. The material model is expected to predict the magneto-mechanical behaviour of these MRFs as a function of role-playing parameters like shear rate, magnetic field intensity, and magnetic particles particle concentration. This can potentially reduce the effort being done for the preparation, testing, and optimisation of commercial MRFs.
