DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF HYDRAULIC BRAKE DEVICES WITH MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL CONTROL A. V. Luk'yanovich , D. E. Polesskii , and I. V. Prokhorov UDC 532.135 Consideration is given to the magnetorheological principle of control of an electrohydraulic brake device. The level of dissipation losses in the channel of the control unit, which determines the braking force in such systems, is regulated by a magnetic field adjusting a magnetosensitive pressure fluid to a prescribed effective viscosity. In an experiment, control of the main parameters characterizing the force and frequency characteristics of the device has been accomplished. It is found that the characteristic time of developing a braking force is 10-3 sec, and the speed of response of the system is mainly limited by the frequency characteristics of the inductor of the magnetic field of the magnetorheological throttling valve.
