Hydro dynamically developing and simultaneously (hydro dynamically and thermally) developing laminar flows of a Bingham plastic in a circular pipe have been investigated numerically. Solutions have been obtained by using a four-step fractional method combined with an equal order bilinear finite element method. For the hydro dynamically developing flow, shorter entrance length is required to reach fully developed velocity field for larger yield stress and non-monotonic pressure drop along the pipe centerline is observed when the yield stress exceeds a certain critical value. For the simultaneously developing flow, the heat transfer characteristics show the same trends as those predicted for the thermally developing flow (Graetz problem).

Rheological characteristics of starch isolated from germinated corn were investigated and compared with those of nongerminated corn starch. Flow behavior of both starches were Bingham psudoplastic. Consistency index and yield stress of germinated starch solution were lower than those of nongerminated starch solution, while flow behavior index was nearly similar. Concentration dependency of both starch solutions were similar to each other but lower temperature dependency of germinated starch solution was observed. Time dependent characteristics of both starches showed thixotropic behavior, but due to germination, germinated starch showed higher structural decay under shear than nongerminated starch and its elastic properties was weaker.

The electro-rheological fluids for semi-active suspension system are a class of colloidal dispersion which exhibit large reversible changes in their rheological behavior when they are subjected to external electrical fields. This paper presents Bingham properties of ER fluids subjected to temperature variations. In addition, an appropriate size of the ER damper for a passenger car is proposed to investigate the effects of Bingham characteristics on the damping performance. The filed-dependent damping forces are evaluated according to the temperature variation and sedimentation ratio.

The Magnetorheological fluid has the properties that its viscosity has drastic changed under some magnetic fields therefore, Magnetorheological fluids has been used fur micro polishing of the micro part(for example, a spherical surface in a micro lens). The polishing process may appears as follows. A part rotating on the spindle is brought into contact with an Magnetorheological finishing(MRF) fluids which is set in motion by the moving wall. In the region where the part and the MRF fluid are brought into contact, the applied magnetic field creates the conditions necessary for the material removal from the part surface. The material removal takes place in a certain region contacting the surface of the part which can be called the polishing spot or zone. The polishing mechanism of the material removal in the contact zone is considered as a process governed by the particularities of the Bingham flow in the contact zone. Resonable calculated and experimental magnitudes of the material removal rate for glass polishing lends support the validity of the approach.

Flow behaviors of rice starch-water systems containing 3-9% (w/v) of native and gelatinized starch solutions were studied with the capillary tube rheometer in the temperature range of $30-80^{\circ}C$. Flow behaviors of rice starch-water systems showed non-Newtonion behavior which could be expressed as ${\gamma}{\;}=\;{\psi}(^{\tau}g_c-{\tau}_yg_c)^N$. Flow parameters ${\psi}$, N and $^{\tau}_y$ were determined for native and gelatinized solutions. These parameters indicated that native rice starch solution shows a dilatancy and the gelatinized solution ranges from pseudoplastic to mixed type flow behavior with increasing concentrations. The value of flow behavior index for gelatinized solutions was about 1.2 in all samples but for native solutions, the values were 0.87-0.90. The values of yield stress, which were negligible below 5%, were increased with the increase in concentration from 5 to 9%. The value of consistency index was exponentially dependent on concentration and temperature. The values of activation energy for native and gelatinized solutions were 0.13-2.71 and 5.39-9.57 kcal/g mole, respectively.

This paper presents control and response characteristics of a continuously variable ER(electrorheological) damper for small-sized vehicles. The ER damper is devised and its governing equation of motion is derived from the bond graph model. The field-dependent yield shear stresses are distilled from experimental investigation on the Bingham property of the ER fluid. The distilled data are incorporated into the governing system model and, on the basis of this model, an appropriate size of the ER damper is manufactured. After evaluating the field-dependent damping performance of the proposed ER damper, the skyhook control algorithm is formulated to achieve desired level of the damping force. The controller is then experimentally implemented and control characteristics of the ER damper are presented in order to demonstrate superior controllability of the damping force. In addition, response characteristics of the damping force with respect to the electric field with fast on-off frequency are provided to show the feasibility of practical application.

본논문에서는 전기장 부하에 따라 유동성질이 변화하는 ER유체의 빙햄특성을 실험 적으로 연구하였다. 특히 ER유체의 빙행특성에 영향을 주는 여러인자중 전극 간격 및 재질 에 따른 ER유체의 항복전단응력과 전류밀도의 변화를 온도에 따라 고찰하였다. 이를 위하 여 전극 간격을 가변시킬수 있는 전기 점도계를 세가지 재질로 자체 제작하였다. 전극간격 은 0.75 mm, 1.00mm 및 1.25 mm 로 설정하였으며 전극 재질은 스테인레스 스텔, 동 그리 고 기계구조용 탄소강(SMS45C)을 사용했다. 한편 실험에 사용된 ER유체는 자체 조성한 수 계 ER유체인 ERF-1과 외국의 우수하다고 알려진 비수계 ER유체인 ERF-2 두가지를 선택 하였다. 실험은 $25^{\circ}C$와 7$0^{\circ}C$ 및 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 수행하였으며 전기장은 0-4kV/mm 범위에서 온 도 및 ER유체의 종류에 따라 부하 가능한 전압까지 공급하였다. 전단변형률 50, 100, 150, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000 및 1200 s-1에서 얻은 전단응력 실험결과로부터 최소오차선형법을 이용하여 전단변형률 영에서 동적 항복전단응력 값을 도출하였으며 그결과로부터 전극 간격 및 재질에 따른 ER효과의 변화를 고찰하였다. 또한 상온과 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 4kV/mm의 전기장을 부하하여 전기장에대한 ER유체의 응답특성을 실험을 수행했다.

Rheological properties of gelatinized rice starch solutions (5%) were examined with a Brookifield viscometer. Gelatinized rice starch solutions showed pseudoplastic flow having yield stress, i.e., Binghamplastic flow behavior. The yield stress of gelatinized rice starch solutions was reduced by the phosphate. Phosphate increased the pseudoplasticity of gelatinized nonwaxy rice starch solutions. but decreased that of gelatinized waxy rice starch solution. The yield stress of gelatinized nonwaxy rice starch solutions held for one hour at $90^{\circ}C$ was slightly decreased, but that of waxy starch solution was reduced by 10-fold. Phosphate reduced the yield stress for both gelatinized nonwaxy and waxy rice starch solutions. Phosphate decreased the consistency index, but did not affect the flow behavior index of the gelatinized rice starch solutions.
