Electro-Rheological (ER) fluid is a class of functional fluid whose apparent viscosity can be varied by the applied electric field strength. The ER fluid is classified into two types; one is a dispersive fluid and the other is a homogeneous. Dispersive ER fluid is a colloidal suspension of fine semiconducting particles in a dielectric liquid and liquid crystal (LC) is classed as homogeneous type ER fluid. LC has been originally developed for some electronic display devices. Various mechanical components applying ER fluid have been developed, and the their performance typically depends on the characteristics of ER fluid which have generally been evaluated by a rotational viscometer. However, the ER fluid introduced into various mechanical components undergoes not only simple shear flow but press flow or oscillating flow. For the evaluation of ER fluid, the authors developed an reciprocating type viscometer. The amplitude is controlled on 5 mm at the frequency from 50 to 1000 Hz. In the present paper, the performance of several types of ER fluid is evaluated by the reciprocating type viscometer and compared with those evaluated by a rotational viscometer.

The electrical and rheological properties pertaining to the electrorheological (ER) behavior of chitosan derivatives, chitosan, chitosan ammonium salt and chitosan phosphate suspensions in silicone oil were investigated. Chitosan derivative suspensions showed a typical ER response (Bingham flow behavior) upon application of an electric field. However, chitosan phosphate suspension exhibited an excellent shear yield stress compared with chitosan and chitosan ammonium salt suspensions. The difference in behavior results from the difference in the conductivity of the disperse phases due to the difference of their polarizability. The shear stress for the chitosan, chitosan ammonium salt and chitosan phosphate suspensions exhibited a linear dependence on the volume fraction of particles and 1.18 ,1.41 and 1.67 powers of the electric field. On the basis of the experimental results, the newly synthesized chitosan derivative suspensions found to be an ER fluid.

This paper presents dynamic modeling and controller design of a tracked vehicle installed with the double-rod type ERSU(electro-rheological suspension unit). A 16 DOF(degree-of-freedom) model for the tracked vehicle is established by Lagrangian method. After showing the spring and damping characteristics of the proposed ERSU, equivalent 2 DOF 1/12 tracked vehicle model is then formulated by regarding the spring and viscous damping coefficients under the static state as constant values. A robust LSDP(loop-shaping design procedure) $H_{\infty}$ controller compensating spring and damping parameter variations is then designed in order to suppress unwanted vibration of the vehicle. The control responses such as vertical and pitch acceleration are presented in time domain.

A semiconducting poly(naphthalene quinone) radical (PNQR) was synthesized from Friedel-Craft acylation between naphthalene and phthalic anhydride and used as dispersing particles of a dry-base electrorheological (ER) material in silicone oil. Under an applied electric field (E), the dynamic yield stress (${\tau}_{dyn}$) of this ER fluid, obtained from a steady shear experiment with a controlled shear rate mode, was observed to increase with $E^{1.45}$ Based on this relationship, we propose a universal correlation curve for shear viscosity, which is independent of E using a scaling analysis.

전기유변(ER) 현상을 위해 제시된 메커니즘들이 중에서 정전기 분극 모델과 전도 모델이 이론적인 측면에서 적합한 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 이 모델들은 자체적인 제한들 때문에 효과적인 ER 액체의 개발에 적절한 도움이 되지 못했다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 Onsager 이론으로 확장한 Maxwell-Wagner 분극 모델을 개발하였다. 확장한 Maxwell-Wagner 분극 모델은 항복응력의 전기장 주파수 및 전기장 크기의 비제곱 의존성을 설명할 수 없는 정전기 분극 모델의 단점과 전기장 하에서의 입자의 미세 구조 변화를 예측할 수 없는 전도 모델의 단점을 해결할 수 있었다. 또한 이 모델은 정전기 분극 모델과 전도 모델에서 예측할 수 없었던 항복응력에의 입자 전도도 영향을 고려할 수 있는 장점도 있어 효과적인 ER 액체의 개발에 기여하리라 판단된다.

A two-degree-of-freedom quarter-car model is used as the basis for LQ and the proposed controller design for a semi-active suspension. The LQ controller results in the best rms performance trade-offs(as defined by performance index) between ride, handling and packaging requirements. In LQ controller, however, the conflict between road holding and ride comfort remains. The adaptive semi-active suspension control based on the road frequency are introduced in this paper. With this method, the trade-off between road holding and ride comfort can be relaxed. The road frequency is estimated by wavelet transform if rattle space signal. The simulation results show that the proposed controller is superior to the conventional LQ controller.

Onsager 이론으로 확장된 Maxwell-Wagner 분극 모델을 이용하여 전도성 입자로 제조된 전기유변(Electrorheological, ER) 액체의 전기유변 현상에 대한 전산 모사를 수행하였다. 확장된 Maxwell-Wagner 분극 모델을 이용한 전산 모사는 전도성 입자로 제조된 전기유변 액체의 특성인 비제곱 전기유변 현상(Δτ∝Eⁿ, n≈1.5)을 확인하였다. 전단 흐름에서 전단응력이 정상상태에 도달하는 시점은 전기장 하에서 생성된 사슬 모양 구조가 전단 흐름에 의해 깨짐과 재생성이 정상상태에 도달하는 지점으로 나타났다. 또한, 전단 속도의 증가에 따라 전단응력이 최솟값을 보이는 전도성 입자를 기반으로 한 전기유변 액체의 현상도 관찰하였으며, 이것은 입자의 사슬 모양 구조가 무작위 배열로 바뀌는 순간에 발생하는 것임을 관찰하였다. 입자의 부피 분율 ϕ가 증가에 따라 전단응력은 증가하다가 일정해지는 경향도 관찰하였다.

Electrorheological fluids (ERF) 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 ERF. The purpose of the present study is to examine the flow characteristics of ERF. First, the microscopic behavior of the ER suspension structure between two fixed parallel-plate brass electrodes applied dc high voltage for the stationary and flow of the ERF was investigated by flow visualization. The electrical and rheological properties of zeolite based ERF were reported.

반전도성 polyaniline의 유도체들로서 poly(aniline-co-sodium diphenylamine sulfonate), poly(aniline-co-o-ethoxyaniline), poly(o-methylaniline), poly(o-methoxyaniline)를 중합하여 전기유변유체의 입자로 사용하였다. 각 분산액은 전기장하에서 전형적인 전기유변특성을 나타냈으나, 낮은 전단변형률에서의 stress plateau 영역에서 입자의 종류에 따라 다른 흐름특성을 얻었다. 전기유변유체의 전기장에 따른 flow curve 변화와. dynamic yield stress와 전기장 간의 관계로부터 접근한 scaling law를 이용하여 각 전기유변유체의 universal flow curve를 구하였다.
