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.

기존에 발생된 토석류 퇴적물에 대한 점도실험으로북터 세립질의 성질이 빙함 소성(Bingham plastic) 모델로 표현될 수 있다는 사실이 판명되었다. 이러한 사실과 비뉴톤유체의 흐름을 해석 할 수 있도록 개발된 수치해석 프로그램 Polyflow를 이용하여 토석류의 이동을 해석하였다. 그 결과 실제와 유사한 이동결과가 얻어졌으므로 토석류의 이동은 이와 같은 기법으로 해석할 수 있다는 것을 알게 되었다.

This paper presents a proof-of-concept investigation on an active tension control using an ER (electro-rheological) brake actuator. Firstly, an ERF (electro-rheological fluid) which has an inherent reversible feature from Newtonian fluid to Bingham fluid upon applying an electric field is composed, and its property is tested to obtain intrinsic parameters of the Bingham model. An appropriate size of the ER brake is manufactured on the basis of the Bingham model, and dynamic characteristics of the brake are experimentally identified. After formulating a governing equation of motion of the tension control system, a sliding mode controller is designed to achieve a certain desired level of tension. Both simulation and experimental works are undertaken in order to demonstrate the efficiency and feasibility of the proposed active tension control method.

The purpose of present research was to get characteristics and basic knowledges of electrorheological(ER) suspension. To observe behaviors of the ER suspensions. transparent conductive plates were used to visualize the flow of ER suspensions between two parallel plate electrodes. The influence of flowing speed and intensity of electric field on the ER fluid were examined in circle-shaped electric field, and it takes several hundred milliseconds that suspensions in flow cluster. The present study also conducts a numerical analysis adopting the Bingham model. It is found that simple Bingham model can not property describe the flow behavior in the parallel plates.

This paper presents an active position control of a single-rod cylinder system featuring an electrorheological(ER) fluid-based valve. The ER fluid consisting of silicone oil and chemically treated particles is firstly composed and its Bingham property is tested as a function of imposed electric field. A multi-channel plate type of ER valve is then designed and manufactured on the basis of the field-dependent Bingham model. Performance test of the ER valve is undertaken by evaluating pressure drop with respect to the number of electrode as well as the intensity of the electric field. Subsequently, the ER valve-cylinder system is constructed and its governing equation of motion is derived. A neural control scheme for position control of the cylinder is formulated by incorporating proportional-plus-derivative(PD) controller and implemented. Experimental results of both regulating and tracking control responses are presented in order to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed ER valve-cylinder control system.

This paper presents the property of the Squeeze Film Damper (SFD) using Magneto-Rheological fluid (MR fluid). The damping property of a SFD for a flexible rotor system varied according to vibration mode. MR fluid is known as a functional fluid with controllable apparent viscosity of the fluid by applied magnetic field strength. When the MR fluid is applied in the SFD, the SFD using MR fluid can effectively reduce vibrations of the flexible rotor in a wide range of rotating speed by control of the applied magnetic field strength. To investigate in detail the SFD using MR fluid, the SFD to support one mass was constructed and its performance was experimentally investigated in the present study. The damping property of the SFD using MR fluid has viscous damping by Newtonian fluid, but not Coulomb friction by Bingham fluid. Therefore, The system damped by the SFD can be considered as a linear system.

The rheological property of hollow PANI malonate suspension in silicone oil was investigated by varying the electric fields and shear rates, respectively. The hollow PANI malonate susepnsion showed a typical electrorheological (ER) response caused by the polarizability of an amide polar group and shear yield stress due to the formation of chains upon application of an electric field. The shear stress for the hollow PANI malonate suspension exhibited an electric field power of 0.90. On the basis of the experimental results, the newly synthesized hollow PANI malonate suspension was found to be an anhydrous ER fluid.

Chitosan 용액의 물성학적 특성을 조사하기 위하여 chitosan 용액의 점도에 미치는 전단속도, 온도, 농도 및 염의 영향을 조사한 결과, chitosan 용액$(0.5\%)$의 유동곡선은 hysteresis loop가 나타나는 Bingham 유체와 일치하였고, $10^{\circ}C-40^{\circ}C$에서 Arrhenius 온도의존성을 나타내었다$(2\%,\;2.5\%,\;3\%\;chitosan$ 용액). 활성화 에너지는 3.25-8.35(kcal/g mol)로 전단속도가 높을수록 그리고 농도가 높을수록 증가하였다. Chitosan 용액의 겉보기점도는 농도가 증가할수록 지수적으로 증가하였고, 측정 온도가 높을수록 농도의존성은 낮았다. 한편 chitosan용액에 염을 첨가하였을 때 점도감소현상이 나타났으며, 염농도가 높아짐에 따라 점도의 감소폭은 줄어들었다 염의 종류에 따른 점도변화는 없었다

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.

본 연구에서는 MR유체를 특징으로 하는 하지 재활운동 기구를 제안하고, 재활운동 기구에 적용하기 위한 소형 MR 유체 브레이크를 설계, 제작하여 성능을 평가하였다. MR유체 브레이크의 저항 특성은 MR유체에 부하되는 자기장의 변화에 의해 제어된다. 공간 제한을 고려하여 자기장 세기와 관련된 설계변수는 유한요소 프로그램인 ANSYS Workbench를 사용하여 최대 토오크가 발생할 수 있도록 결정하였다. 제안된 MR유체 브레이크를 제작하고, 자기장에 따른 토오크의 변화를 실험적으로 평가하였다. 전류를 공급하면, MR 유체 브레이크의 토오크는 증가하였으며, 그 반응은 매우 빠르게 나타났다. 공급하는 전류의 세기가 증가함에 따라 MR 유체 브레이크의 토오크는 MR유체의 빙햄 특성과 유사하게 증가하여 나타났다.
