The use of Magneto Hydro Dynamics (MHD) to circulate fluids in conduits fabricated with low temperature co-fired ceramic tapes is described. Conduits shaped like toroidal and rectangular loops were fabricated. Electrodes printed on the ceramic substrate along the conduits' walls facilitated transmission of electric currents through the test fluids. When the devices were subjected to a magnetic ...

Recent advances in development of semiconductor devices lead to more and more complex device structures. This concerns device geometry as well as tne combination of different materials. Due to the rapid reduction of device geometries, the models describing the device physics increase in complexity. 10 gain additional insight into the performance of devices under realistic dynamic boundary condi...

Modeling of magneto-rheological dampers to be used in semi-active control of civil engineering structures is addressed. The behavior of this kind of dampers is modeled through a first order Lugre dynamic friction model whose structure is analytically simpler than other dynamic friction models used in the literature. With this structure real-time parametric identification of the magneto-rheologi...

An end milling process is widely used in fabrication of complex contours and shape parts at high spindle speeds. Many researchers try to investigate one of important aspect, which come across during machining is the self exited chatter vibration which causes severe damage of the tool and quality of the machined surface. The present work is focused on the Magneto-Rheological Damping effect on st...
