In the recent, electro-rheological fluid has been used for micro polishing of the 3-dimensional micro-aspherical lens and some sectional parts with defects on the wide flat wafer. The ER fluid has the properties that its viscosity has drastic changed under some electric fields. Therefore, ER fluid can be applicable to the micro polishing fur some parts using these properties. In this paper, the experimental device has been constructed using the precision milling machine in order to micro polishing far some sectional parts of a 4 inches wafer It is consisted of a small steel electrode, a wafer fixture, DC10mA and 5KV power supply unit, and a controller unit. Using the ER experimental device, possibility of amending for wide flat wafer and micro polishing of some micro part has been analyzed.

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.

The rheological properties of emulsified ink must be maintained adequately at various shear rates or shear stress. So it is necessary to understand its rheological properties in order to regulate the printability of eumulsified ink on the performance. In this study, the rheological properities and printability of emulsified ink are investigated according to the molecular weights of rosin-modified phenolic resin.

In this study, the shear box tests are carried out with cement paste in order to quantify the rheological constants. The materials have four level of water-cement ratios in $0.30\~0.45$, with or without high-range water-reducing AE agent. As the results, it was clarified that the rheological constants of cement paste are dependent on the value of shear strain, and the incremental coefficient of yield value is varied with the water-cement ratio and the dosage of high-range water-reducing AE agent.

In this work, an ER clutch has been constructed and its characteristics have been evaluated by adapting an electro-rheological fluid(ERF) as an operating medium. ER fluids are suspensions which show an abrupt increase in rheological properties under electric fields. An ER clutch system using ER fluid is a new conception device because an apparent viscosity of ER fluid can be changed by apply an electric field. As a first, Bingham properties of ER fluids are experimentally distilled as a function of electric field. We use the disk type ER clutch in which the ER fluid fills the annular space between a pair of coaxial disk electrodes and experiment results show that the measured revolution per minute was increased with the increase of the electric field. The ER fluid used in the present study consists of weight fraction 35% in zeolite suspended silicone oil.

Properties of polymer based nanocomposites depend on dispersion state of embedded fillers. In order to examine the effect of dispersion state on rheological properties, a new bi-mode FENE dumbbell model was proposed. The FENE dumbbell model includes two separate ensemble sets of dumbbells with different fric­tion coefficients, which simulate behavior of well dispersed and aggregated carbon nanotubes (CNTs). A new parameter indicating dispersion state of the CNT was proposed to account for degree of dispersion quantitatively as well as qualitatively. Rheological material functions in elongational, steady shear, and oscillatory shear flows were obtained numerically. The CNT/epoxy nanocomposites with different dis­persion state were prepared depending on whether a solvent is used for the dispersion of CNTs or not. Dis­persion state of the CNT in the epoxy nanocomposites was morphologically characterized by the field emission scanning electronic microscope and the transmission electron microscope images. It was found that the numerical prediction was in a good agreement with experimental results especially for steady state shear flow.

Magneto-rheological elastomers(MRE) are similar to magnetorheological fluids. Thus, rheological properties of MRE can be also controlled by an applied magnetic field. The MRE in this experiment is a mixture of natural rubber(NR), carbonyl iron powder(CIP), ZnO, and sulfur. Three specimens were prepared and tested by using the vibration testing instruments. The magnetic field was generated by the electromagnets. Natural frequencies of the oscillator were changed by the applied magnetic field. The properties of the MRE were increased due to magnetic field strength.

Two polysiloxanes having different chemical structures were blended with polycarbonate (PC) under ultrasonic irradiation in solution. The polysiloxanes used were poly(methylphenyl siloxane) and vinyl-terminated poly(dimethyl siloxane). It was of primary interest to investigate the effect of polysiloxane structure on the rheological properties of PC/polysiloxane blends. It was found that a small amount (1.5 phr) of polysiloxanes greatly altered the melt viscosities and elasticity of PC. In particular, incorporation of poly(methylphenylsiloxane) led to a notable increase in elasticity with greater shear sensitivity of PC. The observed rheological behaviors of PC/polysiloxane blends were partly explained in conjunction with the tendencies found in ultrasonic degradation of polysiloxanes. Thermal stability and morphology in sonicated blends of PC/polysiloxane blends were also discussed.

To increase the information storage density in magnetic disk files, the head, the headdisk spacing must be reduced. This has motivated the investigation of alternatives to the conventional air-lubricated head-disk interface (HDI), which operates at a spacing of about 100 nm. One such alternative under consideration is the liquid-lubricated bearing. To properly model the HDI with a liquid bearing it is necessary to incorporate the theological properties of liquid lubricants at high shear rates. These rheological properties themselves are most easily measured within the HDI. Recently, some question has arisen in the literature concerning the interpretation of the frictional data acquired in this manner. In this study analytical and numerical solutions of the Reynolds eqn. are applied to the starved, liquid lubricated HDI to provide some validation of the rheological data reported the author and coworkers (Streator et al., 1994). Results of the analysis highlight the importance of the inlet taper region in determining the equilibrium configuration of the starved HDI even when only a small fraction of its length is wetted by the lubricant.

In comparison to processed wheat flour products, there is no established method for determining the water absorption of rye flour. The aim of this study was to work out a method using the Planetary mixer P 600 for the determination of water absorption (WA) and the rheological properties in rye dough made from rye flours of 4 different types (I-IV). In the correlation analysis showed that WA had positive correlation with ash, beginning of gelatinization, $125-160{\mu}m$ particles, sedimentation values at 20 and 25 min, bread yield, pH, and total titratable acidity, but had negative correlation with initial viscosity, gelatinization maximum, viscosities on swelling at 25, 28, and $31^{\circ}C$. The WA determined by the Planetary mixer P 600 agreed well with the experimental baking tests.
