Abstract

In this paper, the synthesis and design of a new device for the energization and characterization of magneto-rheological fluids (MRF) for haptic interfaces are presented. Due to the core structure and feeding conditions, only a three-dimensional numerical analysis provides an accurate prediction of the electromagnetic quantities and the rheological behavior of an excited specimen. The design constraints are shown in details and the results in terms of magnetic field inside the fluid and its spatial resolution are discussed.
