چکیده

We have examined the effect of an oscillatory rotation of a polarized dielectric particle. The rotational motion leads to a redistribution of the polarization charge on the surface of the particle. We show that the time-averaged steady-state dipole moment is along the field direction, but its magnitude is reduced by a factor that depends on the angular velocity of rotation. As a result, the rotational motion of the particle reduces the electrorheological effect. We further assume that the relaxation of the polarized charge is arised from a finite conductivity of the particle or host medium. We calculate the relaxation time based on the Maxwell-Wagner theory, suitably generalized to include the rotational motion. Analytic expressions for the reduction factor and the relaxation time are given and their dependence on the angular velocity of rotation will be discussed.

Dynamic polarizability of rotating particles in electrorheological fluids.

A rotating particle in electrorheological (ER) fluid leads to a displacement of its polarization charges on the surface which relax toward the external applied field E0, resulting in a steady-state polarization at an angle with respect to E0. This dynamic effect has shown to affect the ER fluid properties dramatically. In this paper, we develop a dynamic effective medium theory (EMT) for a syst...

Dynamic electrorheological effects and interparticle force between a pair of rotating spheres

We consider a two-particle system in which a particle is held fixed, and the other one rotates around the axis perpendicular to the line joining the particles' centers. The rotating particle leads to a displacement of its polarization charge on the surface. Our results show that the rotational motion of the particles generally reduces the force between the particles. The dependence of interpart...

Frequency and water content dependencies of electrorheological properties

The static yield stress and complex dielectric constant of glass spheres dispersed in vacuum oil are measured as a function of ~applied electric field! frequency and water content. Based on a model in which the dielectric constants of the solid and the liquid constituents are given by the Debye form with a log-normal distribution of relaxation times, it is shown that the electrical and the mech...

Dielectric Properties of Electrorheological Fluids Containing Zeolite Particles

Relationships between electrorheological (ER) effects and dielectric properties of suspensions are investigated from measurements of ER and dielectric properties of suspensions containing particles of type A zeolite such as 3A, 4A and 5A. In each suspension containing zeolite 3A or 4A particles, the ER effect is recognized, I.e., an increase in the apparent viscosity is observed when an electri...
