Tribological Behaviour of Smart Fluids Influenced by Magnetic and Electric Field – A Review

open access: yesTribology in Industry, 2018
This review paper highlights the tribological behaviour and performance of smart fluids. Two main kinds of smart fluids, that respond to a suitable external stimulus are investigated – electrorheological and magnetorheological fluid. The excitation of an

Magnetorheological landing gear: 1. A design methodology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Aircraft landing gears are subjected to a wide range of excitation conditions, which result in conflicting damping requirements. A novel solution to this problem is to implement semi-active damping using magnetorheological (MR) fluids.

Review of the Electrorheological (Er) Effect of Polyurethane-based Er Fluids

open access: yesApplied Rheology, 2008
Electrorheological fluids (ERF) change viscosity when an electric field is applied. A special type of ERF consists of polyurethane particles which are doped with Li+ and /or Zn2+ cations and suspended in silicone oil.

Sedimentation upon different carrier liquid in giant electrorheological fluid and its application

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials, 2014
When giant electrorheological (GER) fluid is settled after some time, particles can precipitate out of the oil in a multistep process that involves the formation of larger particles, the aggregation of colloids, and eventual sedimentation.

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Advances in Triboelectric Nanogenerators With Rotating Structure

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
The rotating TENG has been widely studied for its superiorities of simple structure, high efficiency, and stable output. This review introduced the four different principles of rotating TENG and offered a thorough summary for performance and application research through three‐level classification. Importantly, the current existing problems, challenges,

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

open access: yesInternational 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.

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

open access: yes, 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.

Plasmakristall‐4 Experiment: 10 Years of Operation in Orbit

open access: yesContributions 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.
