Study on the tribological and rheological properties of magnetorheological fluids based on different base oils

open access: yesMaterials Research Express
Base oil has great influence on the tribological and rheological properties of magnetorheological fluid. In this paper, four types of magnetorheological fluid are prepared respectively by silicone oil, mineral oil, synthetic oil (PAO) and castor oil, and

Recent progress on the magnetorheological plastomers

open access: yesInternational Journal of Smart and Nano Materials, 2015
Different from the traditional magnetorheological (MR) fluids and elastomers, the magnetic particles in the plastic MR materials are not ‘deadly’ trapped in the polymer matrix; thus, the MR plastomers exhibit higher MR effects and lower sedimentation ...

Transition to chaos and escape phenomenon in two degrees of freedom oscillator with a kinematic excitation

open access: yes, 2012
We study the dynamics of a two-degrees-of-freedom (two DOF) nonlinear oscillator representing a quartercar model excited by a road roughness profile. Modelling the road profile by means of a harmonic function we derive the Melnikov criterion for a system

On the general governing equations of electromagnetic acoustic transducers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper, we present the general governing equations of electrodynamics and continuum mechanics that need to be considered while mathematically modelling the behaviour of electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs).

Topology and Material Optimization in Ultra‐Soft Magneto‐Active Structures: Making Advantage of Residual Anisotropies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Residual magnetization induces pronounced mechanical anisotropy in ultra‐soft magnetorheological elastomers, shaping deformation and actuation even without external magnetic fields. This study introduces a computational‐experimental framework integrating magneto‐mechanical coupling into topology optimization for designing soft magnetic actuators with ...

Investigating the Benefit of MR fluids in Shock Absorbers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The beneficial properties of magnetorheological (MR) fluids are applied in the design and testing of a prototype suspension system. Because MR fluids become more viscous under the influence of a magnetic field, a suspension shock absorber containing MR ...
