Flow of electro-rheological materials
An electro-rheological fluid is a material in which a particulate solid is suspended in an electrically non-conducting fluid such as oil. On the application of an electric field, the viscosity and other material properties undergo dramatic and significant changes. In this paper, the particulate imbedded fluid is considered as a homogeneous continuum. I t is assumed that the Cauchy stress depend...
متن کاملProposition of an Er Microactuator with Inherent Position Feedback Mechanism
The paper proposes and develops a novel smart ER microactuator with inherent position feedback mechanism. The microactuator consists of a pair of movable and fixed parallel plate electrodes with variable gap length and an upstream restrictor, and ERF (electro-rheological fluid) is supplied as a working fluid. By applying voltage to the electrodes, with the increased pressure drop due to ERF vis...

Electroand magnetorheological uids are smart, synthetic uids changing their viscosity from liquid to semi-solid state within milliseconds if a su ciently strong electric or magnetic eld is applied. When used in suitable devices, they o er the innovative potential of very fast, adaptively controllable interfaces between mechanical devices and electronic control units. This paper gives an overvie...
متن کاملDevelopment of Flexible Microactuator and Its Applications to Robotic Mechanisms
A flexible microactuator (FMA) driven by an electro-pneumatic (or electro-hydraulic) system has been developed. The FMA has three degrees of freedom: pitch, yaw, and stretch; and these are suitable movements for miniature robotic mechanisms such as fingers, arms or legs. The construction is of fiber-reinforced rubber and the mechanism is very simple. Gentle miniature robots with no conventional...
