Electromagnetic Interaction Model of an Electric Motor and a Magneto-rheological Brake

This master’s Thesis is part of a project on the modelling and validation of a magneto-rheological fluid brake developed by the IEHV - Innovative Electric and Hybrid Vehicles - Research Group. It’s based on the modelling and validation of a magneto-rheological fluid brake. It is a continuing of the thesis work of I. Giovanni Numerous constraints and negative aspects apply to conventional hydraulic brake (CHB) systems used in the automotive industry, including response delay, braking pad wear. The requirement for auxiliary components (such as hydraulic pump, transfer pipes, and brake fluid reservoir), and increased overall weight because of the auxiliary components. The modelling and validation of a brand-new magnetorheological fluid brake for automotive applications is discussed in this thesis. This type of brake uses both mechanical and electrical components, resulting in more rapid and dependable braking system. A magnetorheological (MR) brake is the proposed electromagnetic brake. This study work is based on a motor - brake system. We will explore how an external magnetic flux coming from the motor close by the brake influences the movement of the MR fluid. In the case of a high flux, and unwanted results, a mitigator of excessive magnetic field will be introduced to solve this problem.
