Structure of electrorheological fluids
Specially synthesized silica colloidal spheres with fluorescent cores were used as model electrorheological fluids to experimentally explore structure formation and evolution under conditions of no shear. Using Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy we measured the location of each colloid in three dimensions. We observed an equilibrium body-centered tetragonal phase and several non-equilibrium str...
متن کاملState Feedback Control of Electrorheological Fluids
Electrorheological (ER) fluids have electrically controllable stiffness, viscosity, and heat transfer properties. Since the 1940s researchers have attempted to model the properties of ER fluids and have proposed applications which attempt to utilize their special characteristics in the operation of hydraulic valves, soft clutches, and active suspension systems. Early attempts to make these appl...
متن کاملStatic shear modulus of electrorheological fluids.
We report measurements of the static shear modulus of electrorheological (ER) fluids consisting of water-wetted silica microspheres in silicone oil. A shear-annealing method, using creep-recovery (CR) cycles under an external electric field, is used to enhance ER properties of the fluid. The shear-annealing method enables the silica spheres in the ER fluid to form better aligned and denser colu...
متن کاملStructural transition in bidispersed electrorheological fluids.
We present results from finite element calculations on electrorheological fluids consisting of bidispersed dielectric microspheres and nanoparticles suspended in liquid, with one type much smaller than the other. The face-centered-cubic (fcc) structure of the larger microspheres is shown to be the ground state when the volume concentration of the nanoparticles is between 3-5 %. This is in contr...
