Magnetorheological (MR) dampers are becoming popular smart devices with controllable higher damping properties. This paper presents an inclusive review of energy harvesting MR dampers. The classifications of energy harvesting MR dampers, operating principles, structural design, mathematical models, fluid models, experimental investigation, and applications are classified and reviewed. The regenerative MR dampers have self-power capability, and self-sensing capability to control higher performance and it is an important feature of regenerative MR dampers. The review indicates that regenerative MR dampers have enough power generation capacity to power MR dampers and higher damping performances. It has been found that a single-ended monotube regenerative MR (RMR) damper has maximum power generation capabilities than other RMR dampers.
