This article focuses on modelling and validating a groundbreaking magnetorheological braking system. Addressing shortcomings in traditional automotive friction brake systems, including response delays, wear, and added mass from auxiliary components, the study employs a novel brake design combining mechanical and electrical elements for enhanced efficiency. Utilizing magnetorheological (MR) technology within a motor–brake system, the investigation explores the influence of external magnetic flux from the nearby motor on MR fluid movement, particularly under high-flux conditions. The evaluation of a high-magnetic-field mitigator is guided by simulated findings with the objective of resolving potential issues. An alternative method of resolving an interaction between an electric motor and a magnetorheological brake is presented. In addition, to test four configurations, multiple absorber materials are reviewed.
