Electrical controlled rheology of a suspension of weakly conducting particles in dielectric liquid [PDF]

, 2006
The properties of suspensions of fine particles in dielectric liquid (electrorheological fluids) subjected to an electric field lead to a drastic change of the apparent viscosity of the fluid. For high applied fields (~ 3-5 kV/mm) the suspension congeals

Nonlinear ac response of anisotropic composites

, 2001
When a suspension consisting of dielectric particles having nonlinear characteristics is subjected to a sinusoidal (ac) field, the electrical response will in general consist of ac fields at frequencies of the higher-order harmonics.

Mechanisms of Magneto- and Electro-Rheology: Recent Progress and Unresolved Issues

Applied Rheology, 2001
An electrorheological fluid (ERF) (magnetorheological fluid - MRF) is a particulate suspension which shows a dramatic increase in flow resistance upon application of an external electric (magnetic) field. In both systems, the fundamental physical process
