Static 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 کاملShear-induced sedimentation in yield stress fluids
Stability of coarse particles against gravity is an important issue in dense suspensions (fresh concrete, foodstuff, etc.). On the one hand, it is known that they are stable at rest when the interstitial paste has a high enough yield stress; on the other hand, it is not yet possible to predict if a given material will remain homogeneous during a flow. Using MRI techniques, we study the time evo...

Mechanical properties of electrorheological uids under various dynamical loading conditions have been studied using a computer simulation model. The model assumes electrostatic point-dipole interaction between particles with or without multipolar corrections and the interaction with the base uid due to viscous laminar ow is described with Stokes drag. The mechanical loading is introduced as con...
متن کاملStructure 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 کاملShear induced drainage in foamy yield-stress fluids.
Shear induced drainage of a foamy yield-stress fluid is investigated using MRI techniques. Whereas the yield stress of the interstitial fluid stabilizes the system at rest, a fast drainage is observed when a horizontal shear is imposed. It is shown that the sheared interstitial material behaves as a viscous fluid in the direction of gravity, the effective viscosity of which is controlled by she...
