A Magnetorheological fluid can be implemented on a suspension system for damping of shock as a replacement for conventional oil dampers which has a constant viscosity. When a magnetic field is applied, the viscosity of MR fluid varies. Due to variable viscosity the damping action of the damper can be modified as per requirement which not only increases the comfort level but also optimizes vehicles performance suspension life.
