Abstract
Theoretical and experimental scale analyses are conducted to investiga te the effects of length of the damper and electric field strength on the damping and stiffness coefficients of electrorheological fluid (ER F) dampers. It is demonstrated that by employing the results obtained from smaller size prototypes, the energy absorbing capacity of larger dampers can be estimated.
