Foreword I

Direct transduction in hydraulic actuators (the production of useful output from a command signal without the intervention of a valving scheme), has been the dream of many hydraulic engineers who have struggled with the design of fast, stable, and reliable hydraulic valves. In the field of controllable suspension dampers, the design of responsive and well-behaved valves is an extremely difficult task due to the wide varying flow and pressure conditions within these dampers. This was the primary motivation for the development and use of both Magneto-Rheological (MR) and Electro-Rheological (ER) fluids in automotive semi-active suspension systems in the early 2000s (MagneRide™ by Delphi Automotive Systems, Corp/BWI Group) and in the early 2010s (eRRide™ by Fludicon GmbH), respectively. The development of a novel technology has never been easy, and mastering a multidisciplinary one at a level sufficient for design of useful applications is even more demanding. Even though the controllable MR fluids were invented over 50 years ago, it was the more recent developments in the fields of MR fluids, suspension control al
