The electrorheology of suspensions consisting of Na-Fluorohectorite synthetic clay particles in silicon oil

, 2010
Under application of an electric field greater than a triggering electric field $E_c \sim 0.4$ kV/mm, suspensions obtained by dispersing particles of the synthetic clay fluoro-hectorite in a silicon oil, aggregate into chain- and/or column-like ...

Evolution of avalanche conducting states in electrorheological liquids [PDF]

, 1998
Charge transport in electrorheological fluids is studied experimentally under strongly nonequlibrium conditions. By injecting an electrical current into a suspension of conducting nanoparticles we are able to initiate a process of self-organization which

Ground state of a polydisperse electrorheological solid: Beyond the dipole approximation

, 2002
The ground state of an electrorheological (ER) fluid has been studied based on our recently proposed dipole-induced dipole (DID) model. We obtained an analytic expression of the interaction between chains of particles which are of the same or different ...

Vibration isolation with smart fluid dampers: a benchmarking study [PDF]

, 2005
The non-linear behaviour of electrorheological (ER) and magnetorheological (MR) dampers makes it difficult to design effective control strategies, and as a consequence a wide range of control systems have been proposed in the literature.

Reynolds Number Effects in the Flow of a Vočadlo Electrorheological Fluid in a Curved Gap

International Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2017
Many electrorheological fluids (ERFs) as fluids with micro-structure demonstrate a non-Newtonian behaviour. Rheometric measurements indicate that some flows of these fluids may by modelled as the flows of a Vočadlo ER fluid.

Scalable High‐Force Zipping Electrostatic Actuators

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An electrostatic actuator architecture is presented that combines high energy density with forces and strokes suited for wearable soft robotics. By folding patterned thin films into a scalable honeycomb of zipping units, performance becomes tunable through series–parallel design, achieving over 40 N and 28 J/kg.

Plasmakristall‐4 Experiment: 10 Years of Operation in Orbit

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasmakristall‐4 (PK‐4) is a microgravity complex plasma laboratory operated for 10 years on board the International Space Station. Its main purpose is the particle‐resolved investigation of generic condensed matter phenomena using strongly coupled suspensions of microparticles immersed in low‐pressure gas‐discharge plasmas.

Modular Geometric Properties in Variable Exponent Spaces

Mathematics, 2022
Much has been written on variable exponent spaces in recent years. Most of the literature deals with the normed space structure of such spaces. However, because of the variability of the exponent, the underlying modular structure of these spaces is ...

New nonlinear dielectric materials: Linear electrorheological fluids under the influence of electrostriction

, 2004
The usual approach to the development of new nonlinear dielectric materials focuses on the search for materials in which the components possess an inherently large nonlinear dielectric response.
