MEC Professor Seungbok Choi’s article was selected as the cover page of a journal titled, Applications of Magnetorheological Fluid Actuator to Multi-DOF Systems: State-of-the Art from 2015 to 2021.

Below is the cover story written by professor Choi:

“This review article presents various multi-DOF application systems that utilize magnetorheological (MR) fluid actuators such as sandwich structures, dampers, mounts, brakes, and clutches. In the first part of this review article, recent research works related to MR sandwich structures, which have been extensively studied in the field of vibration and noise reduction and control, are discussed.

In the latter part of this review, recently reported MR fluid actuators are classified by application field, and the features of newly proposed actuators are investigated. The application fields considered in this study include not only traditional automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and civil engineering fields but also robotics, rehabilitation engineering, and haptic interfaces, which have recently received increasing attention.”
