    Experimental Investigation Into the Effect of Magnetorheological Fluid Damper on Vibration and Chatter in Straight Turning Process
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Nasab, Vahid Hasan; Akar, Samet; Batako, Andre; Emami, Mohsen
    Magneto-Rheological (MR) dampers have received a great deal of attention in recent years due to the potential of offering semi-active control. MR dampers have been successfully applied in the vibration control of several machining processes. However, the effect of the material of the damper's fluid chamber on its magnetic prop-erties has not been studied much. In this study, an MR damper has been designed to control the chatter vibration of the straight turning operation. The magnetic properties of the MR damper are simulated in the FEM software COMSOL Multiphysics with two types of steel AISI 410 and AISI 1018, and the material with the best perfor-mance for constructing the fluid chamber is determined. Then, the MR damper with an assembly to hold the cutting tool was fabricated and experimentally tested during straight turning operation and its effect on the tool vibration, and work surface roughness was analyzed. From the result, it was observed that the MR damper reduced tool vibration and chatter effectively. The results obtained in this research confirm that the application of the MR damper in the straight-turning process can either suppress the chatter or greatly reduce the frequency amplitude of the chatter. The reduction of the tool's acceleration amplitude with the MR damper was more intense in the condition of chatter suppression and reached up to 89.42 %. Moreover, the MR damper reduced the roughness of the machining surface. This reduction was higher in cases where the chatter was suppressed and it was observed up to 29 %.

    In recent decades, demand for energy has been significantly increased, and considering environmental impacts and the degrading nature of fossil fuels, clean and emission-free renewable energy production has attracted a great deal of attention. One of the most promising renewable energy sources is solar energy due to low cost and low harmful emissions, and from the 1980s, one of the most beneficial applications of solar energy is the utilization of solar chimney power plants (SCPP). A SCPP is a simple and reliable system that consists of three main components; a solar collector, a chimney (tower) and a turbine to utilize electrical energy. Recently, by the advancement in computer technology, the use of CFD methodology for studying SCPP has become an extensive, robust and powerful technique. In light of the above, in this study, numerical simulations of a SCPP through three-dimensional axisymmetric modeling is performed. A numerical model is created using CFD software, and the results are verified with an experimental study from the literature. After ensuring good agreement with the experiments, chimney's and collector's geometric parameters effects and different configurations effects on SCPP performance, simultaneously and additively is investigated. The study introduces an insight to the performance enhancement methods and finding the best configuration of a SCPP model, which will be the basis of a detailed prototyping process. Based on the numerical results, the best configuration of the SCPP has been found as the diverging chimney which enhances the generated power. The results of the study showed that the chimney height and collector radius increase has a positive effect on the power output and efficiency of the system, but when construction and material costs are also considered, each has an optimal value. The maximum impact on the performance is found to be by the chimney tower radius and the collector height and inclination are found to have optimum values considering performance. According to the obtained results, the best performance for the SCPP was obtained with 3.5 m chimney height, 30 cm tower diameter, 400 cm of collector diameter with 6 cm height and zero inclination angle. By the correct selection of the dominant performance parameter which can be done by correctly interpreting the results of this study, "the best" design of a SCPP real scale prototype considering maximum power requirement can be done.
