Fabrication of a rotary MR brake and data collection

This report involved the designing of Magneto-Rheological (MR) Drum Rotary Brake. Through research papers, there are two types of magneto-rheological rotary brake designs- disc and drum. However, it was found that MR drum rotary brake which consists of a thick rotor was less common and there were in...
