Electromagnetic dampers can be largely classified into two different techniques either the mechanical system or the electrical system. The mechanical system is composed of a permanent-magnet DC motor, a ball screw and a nut, and the electrical system is composed of coils and permanent magnet assemblies. In this paper, the performances of the mechanical system and the electrical system as passive and semi-active techniques are compared with a magneto-rheological damper performance, and the characteristic responses of these dampers are presented. The magnetorheological damper coil is connected with generator coil and this damper is namely in this case a self –power (regeneration mode of a passive case), because the applied current on this damper is dependent on current generated of the generator. The simulated results of the present study are shown that: (i) in passive cases of the electromagnetic dampers; the regenerative power of the electrical system is more than the mechanical system, and the magneto-rheological damper gives a different damping force according to the following conditions: If generated current from the generator less than 2.5V the switch 1 is closed and this current is applied on MR damper coil only, while, if generated current from the generator more than 2.5V the switch 1 is opened, and the current applied on an MR damper coil is turned off, but switch 2 is closed to charge the battery. (ii) In semi-active cases of the electromagnetic and magneto-rheological dampers; the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) inverse models are introduced as the dampers controller, however, the magneto-rheological damper needs power over than electromagnetic dampers both mechanical and electrical systems.
