Popis: MR fluid (Magneto-Rheological fluid) is a kind of functional fluid. In this study, we developed Shear-type Compact MR Brake (SCMR-Brake) applying shear mode of MR brake. To employ multi-layered and minute-gap structure, we developed SCMR-Brakes. By using this brake on the part of ankle torque control unit, we developed Controllable Ankle-Foot nrthosis.
