        abstract = {This paper presents the design, fabrication, and analysis of a hybrid active–passive suspension system using magnetorheological (MR) fluid technology for improving vehicle dynamics. The system combines a conventional spring mechanism with a piston-cylinder damping arrangement to enhance vibration control, ride comfort, and stability. A quarter car model is used for analysis, representing the behavior of a real vehicle suspension system. The fabricated model consists of a steel frame, hydraulic cylinder, piston, and fail-safe spring mechanism. The dynamic behavior of the system is analyzed using MATLAB simulation, considering displacement, velocity, and acceleration. The effect of damping variation is also studied. The proposed system provides a simple, cost-effective, and efficient solution for automotive applications.},
