For mechanical devices such as haptic gadgets, mechanical dampers, and brake systems to function properly, magnetorheological fluids (MRF)—also known as smart fluids—are crucial. An innovative method for optimizing the preparation process of magnetorheological fluid that is both cost-effective and data-driven in nature is investigated in this article. In this MRF preparation experiment, silicone oil is the carrier liquid and carbonyl iron and Fe3O4 powders are carefully selected as magnetic ...
