In the current magnetorheological(MR) damping system,separate power supply is usually required.The feasibility and effectiveness of a new type of self-powered MR damper were addressed,which contains an electromagnetic inductive(EMI) device and can harvest energy from the vibration.The dynamic equation for the self-powered MR damper was derived.A simulation study was conducted to check the ability of harvesting energy from the vibration.Based on the simulation,an electric energy conditioning module was desig...
