Abstract: Abstract The new generation of electrorheological fluids (ERFs) offers a wide range of applicability in fluid mechatronics with automotive ERF devices such as ERF shock absorbers mentioned at first place. The optimal design of such tools requires the proper modelling and simulation both of the operational behaviour of the device itself as well as its impact on the dynamics of the complete vehicle. This paper addresses these issues featuring an extended Bingham fluid model and its numerical solution as well as substitutive models of viscoeleastic-plastic system behaviour. Also control issues for optimal semi-active suspension of vehicles with controllable ERF shock absorbers are discussed.
