This work develops a new type linear damper that uses MR fluid, consists of a number of plates with. MR fluid is filled in the damper, so that magnetic fields freezes MR fluid. Resisting torque (friction torque) is generated when the plates slide due to the shear of slits of the plates. It is proven that the presence of the damper affects the vibration of the plate as predicted by numerical simulations. The damper is maintenance free, and it is one of passive damper type with a good durability.
