In this paper, the lord magnetic field of MRF and its circuit design are mainly expounded, according to the loading ways of magnetic field and the magnetic circuit design plans of magneto-rheological fluid devices at present, the general form and characteristics are summarized. In addition, a kind of magneto-rheological fluid dynamometer is proposed in this paper, in terms of its magnetic circu...

Multiple interacting mechanisms control the formation and dissolution of clots to maintain blood in a state of delicate balance. In addition to a myriad of biochemical reactions, rheological factors also play a crucial role in modulating the response of blood to external stimuli. To date, a comprehensive model for clot formation and dissolution, that takes into account the biochemical, medical ...

The present series of three consecutive papers develops a general theory for linear and fmite solid viscoelasticity. Because the most important object for nonlinear studies are rubber-like materials, the general approach is specified in a form convenient for solving problems important for many industries that involve rubber-like materials. General linear and nonlinear theories for non-isotherma...

For realizing the intelligent vehicle suspension design with magneto-rheological (MR) fluids dampers, extensive laboratory measurements are performed to characterize the symmetric and asymmetric hysteresis force properties of a MR-damper, under a wide range of drive current and harmonic excitation conditions (frequency and stroke). The proposed asymmetric damping force generation (ADFG) algorit...

The main objective of this article is to present the semi-active vibration control using an electro-rheological fluid embedded sandwich structure for a cantilever beam. ER fluid is a smart material, which cause the suspended particles polarize and connect each other to form chain. The stiffness and damping coefficients of the ER fluid can be changed in 10 micro seconds; therefore, ERF is suitab...

In this paper, we review the role of the rheological properties at the cellular and macroscopic scale. At the cellular scale, the different components of the cell are described, and comparisons with other similar systems are made in order to state what kind of rheological properties and what constitutive equations can be expected. This is based on expertise collected over many years, dealing wi...

Acoustic properties of polymeric liquids are high sensitive to free gas traces in the form of fine bubbles. Their presence is typical for such liquids because of chemical reactions, small wettability of solid boundaries, trapping of air in technological operations, etc. Liquid temperature influences essentially its rheological properties, which may have an impact on the bubble pulsations and so...

– We use a lattice Boltzmann (LB) kinetic scheme for modelling amphiphilic fluids that correctly predicts rheological effects in flow. No macroscopic parameters are included in the model. Instead, three-dimensional hydrodynamic and rheological effects are emergent from the underlying particulate conservation laws and interactions. We report evidence of shear thinning and viscoelastic flow for a...

Concentrated aqueous cornstarch (CS) suspensions are often used to demonstrate an extreme example of shear thickening rheological behaviour. Here, we describe the increased rheological complexity that occurs on the addition of poly(propylene glycol) 10 (PPG) to an aqueous CS suspension. The appearance of shear thickening/jamming, shear thinning, yield stress and near-Newtonian behaviours is dep...

[1] Previous quantitative studies dealing with the origin of foreland basins have focused primarily either on the rheological basis of the lithosphere mechanical response or on the relationship between orogenic loading and sediment geometry. To link the evolution of the Guadalquivir foreland basin (South Iberia) with the thermomechanical stratification of the Iberian lithosphere, we combine qua...
