본 연구에서는 전기장의 인가 유무에 따라 유체의 유변성질이 가역적으로 변화하는 ER(electro-rheological) 유체를 이용하여 CD-ROM(compact disc-read only memory) 마운트를 구성한 후 피딩 시스템의 진동제어를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 우선 특수화학처리된 전분계 ER유체를 조성하였으며, 전단모드 및 유동모드하에서 전기장에 따른 항복응력을 실험적으로 도출하였다. 도출된 ER유체의 항복응력에 근거하여 복합모드형 CD-ROM 마운트를 설계, 제작하였다. 제작된 ER CD-ROM 마운트의 진동절연 특성을 주파수 영역에서 고찰하였으며 기존의 고무마운트 성능과 비교하였다. 나아가서 제안된 마운트를 장착한 정보저장기기 드라이브 피딩 시스템의 동적 모델링을 수행하였으며, 진동제어를 위한 스카이훅 제어기를 설계하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 여러 외란(가진) 조건에 따른 피딩 시스템의 진동제어 성능을 주파수 및 시간 영역에서 고찰하였다.

The electro-reheoligical(ER) effect refers to the abrupt change in viscosity in certain suspensions on application of an electric field. This paper presents experimental results on material properties of an ER fluids subjected to electrical fatigues. As a first step, two types of EF fluids are made of arabic gum and methyl cellulose(MC) choosing 25% of parti-cle weight-concentration. Following the construction of test mechanism for electrical durability of ER fluid, the dynamic yield shear stress and current density of the ER fluids are experimentally distilled as a function of electric field. The yield shear stress of operated ER fluids are distilled and compared with those of unused ER fluids.

Electro-rheological(ER) fluids are suspensions which show an abrupt increase in rheological properties under electric fields. The rheological response is very rapid and reversible when the electric field is imposed and/or removed. Therefore, there are many practical applications using the ER fluids. The purpose of the present study is to examine the flow characteristics of electro-rheological fluids. The field-dependent yield stress are obtained from experimental investigation on the Bingham property of the ER fluid. Then the steady relationshup between pressure drop and flow rate of the ERF was two fixed parallel-plates was measured under application of an electric fields. The electrical and rheological properties of zeolite based electro-rheological fluids were reported.

The purpose of the present study is to examine the flow characteristics of ER fluids between 2 port and 3 port rectangular tube brass electrodes. ER fluid is made silicon oil mixed with $2-3wt\%$ starch having hydrous particles. Flow visualization of the ER fluids were obtained by CCD camera measuring those of the clusters using an image processing technique. This research found the flow $rate(Q_L)$ with 0 kV /mm, 0.5kV/mm and 1.0kV/mm for $Q_L\;=\;0,\;0$ and $5.73cm^3/s$. When the strength of the electric field increased, the cluster of ER fluids are clearly strong along the rectangular tube and the flow rate(Q) decreased.

This paper presents force feedback control performance of a 3DOF haptic device that can be used for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). As a first step, a 3DOF electrorheological (ER) joint is designed using a spherical mechanism. And it is optimized based on the mathematical torque modeling. Subsequently, the master haptic device is manufactured by the spherical joint. In order to achieve desired force trajectories, model based compensation strategy is adopted for the ER master. Therefore, Preisach model fur the PMA-based ER fluid is identified using experimental first order descending (FOD) curves. A compensation strategy is then formulated through the model inversion to achieve desired force at the ER master. Tracking control performances for sinusoidal force trajectory are presented, and their tracking errors are evaluated.

This study presents model synthesis and performance investigation of a new brake system using electro-rheological(ER) fluids. Field-dependent Bingham properties characterized by non-zero yield stresses of the ER fluids are experimentally distilled. These properties are then incorporated with the governing equation of the proposed brake system which features design simplicity, fast response and salient controllability. After analyzing system performance with respect to design parameters such as electrode gap and length, an appropriate size of the brake is designed and fabricated. Both simulation and experimental works are undertaken in order to determine the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed brake system. The system performances are justified by evaluating field-dependent braking torques as well as braking times.

Electro-Rheological(ER) fluid are suspensions which show an abrupt increase in rheological properties under electric fields. ER effects arise from electrostatic forces between the starch particles dispersed in the electrically insulating silicone oil, induced when an electric field is applied. Yield stress of the fluids were measured on the couette cell type rheometer as a function of electric fields. This paper presents performance analyses of four types of the two parallel-plate. Which have different electrode length and width but same electrode area. On the basis of the pressure drop and flow rate analysis. Four types of the two parallel-plate are designed and manufactured. Using ER fluid, it is possible to directly interface between electric signals and fluid power without moving parts.

This paper reports on a proof-of-concept experimental investigation focused on evaluating the vibration characteristics and control of smart hollow cantilever beams filled with an electro-rheological(ER) fluid. The beams are considered to be of uniform viscoelastic materials and modelled as a viscously-damped harmonic oscillator. Electric field-dependent natural frequencies, loss factors and complex moduli are evaluated and compared among three different beams : two types of different volume fraction of ER fluid and one type of different particle concentration of ER fluid by weight. Modal characteristics of the beams are observed in both the absence and the presence of electric potentials. It is also shown that by constructing active control algorithm the removal of structural resonances and the suppression of tip deflection are obtained. This result provides the feasiblility of ER fluids as an active vibration control element.

As electrorheological fluid(ER fluid) has a characteristic that apparent viscosity varies when electric field applied, so rheological characteristic(yield stress & viscosity) changes in proportion to the electric field applied and the response time is very short within a few miliseconds . In case of using ER fluid for journal bearing as lubricant, it is estimated that it's possible to realize very effective journal bearing system that is not complicate and has a very quick response time. It is necessary to examine the influence of rheological characteristic that varies with electric field applied on bearing characteristic to apply ER fluid to journal bearing, however there are few studies for about that. As for the journal bearing, it comes under high shear flow mode that has shear rate range of $10^3\~10^4s^{-1}$ because rotational speed is very high and clearance is small. But most of the studies for about ER fluid issued until now is about the range of $10\~10^2s^{-1}$. So, there are a lot of difficulties to understand the characteristic offish shear flow mode and furthermore it is restricted to make an experiment for about the characteristic of ER fluid because of the limitation of experimental equipment. The equipment was prepared to make an experiment lot high shear flow mode that has the range of $10^3\~10^4s^{-1}$ using ER fluid that is composed of silicon oil with dispersed particle of starch. Using the above system, the fluid characteristic of ER fluid was studied.

This paper presents a mixed-mode type ER(electro-rheological) engine mount, and its vibration control performance for a passenger vehicle is presented. The field-dependent yield stress of a transfo rmer oil-based ER fluid is empirically distilled in both shear and flow modes. This is then incorporated with the governing equation of motion of the proposed mixed-mode(shear mode plus flow mode) type engine mount. The damping force is analyzed with respect to the intensity of the electric field and design parameters such as electrode gap. Subsequently, the ER engine mount which is equivalent to the conventional hydraulic engine mount in terms of the damping level is designed and manufactured. Both computer simulation and experimental test are undertaken in order to evaluate vibration isolation performance. In addition, this performance is compared with that of the conventional hydraulic engine mount.
