Test set-up for testing the MR clutch prototype..jpg

magnetorheological clutch.

Magnetorheological fluids are such that under the influence of a magnetic field they increase in viscosity, to the point of becoming rigid. A magnetorheological clutch (MRC) uses this property to transmit torque between two coaxial radial plates, the torque transmitted varying as a function of the magnetic field applied

SMA thin film is considered as a core technology for actuation of MEMS devices, where large force and stroke are essential in conditions of low duty cycles or intermittent operation and in extreme environment such as radioactive, space, biological and corrosive conditions.

during weapon integration phase a requirement was felt that power requirement for a critical air to air weapon ‘Article A’ in landing phase (in failure mode) could not be accommodated by on-board power generating system. The landing phase of the aircraft requires additional electrical loads especially for landing lights. Generally, prior to landing, airbrakes are used in the approach phase to steepen the approach and thereby reduce touchdown speed and ground roll distance.

Fighter platforms typically use aerodynamic devices like air brakes in order to achieve a steeper approach and the same is also used for during combat phases of flight. Additionally, meeting the power requirement to the critical weapon ‘Article A’ posed a serious challenge in failure mode and was required to be resolved. Ram Air Turbines (RATs) have been tried out on aircraft for providing hydraulic power and electrical power or
emergency systems and various podded systems like in-flight refueling pod and electronic warfare pods.
