| 1. A method of controlling a magnetorheological damping system comprising:
executing a control algorithm for said magnetorheological damping system;
determining a desired damper force by said control algorithm;
measuring a velocity of a movable damping member of said magnetorheological damping system;
measuring a temperature of a magnetorheological fluid of said magnetorheological damping system;
determining a damper current command from a damper look up table based at least on said desired damper force, said velocity
of said movable damping member and said temperature of said magnetorheological; and
providing a damper current specified by said damper current command to a electromagnet associated with said movable damping
member of said magnetorheological damping system.
