Yield and Rheological Behaviors of Magnetorheological Fluids

Article Preview

Abstract:

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are materials that respond to an applied magnetic field with the change of their yield and rheological behaviors. In this paper, the yield and rheological behaviors of MR fluids are discussed. Based on the microstructure of magnetic chain a theoretical model is developed to analyze the effect of an applied magnetic field on the yield stress of MR fluids. Bingham model is used to describe the rheological behaviors of MR fluids subject to an applied magnetic field. The results show that altering the strength of an applied field can control the yield stress of MR fluids. The shear stress increases as the strength of an applied magnetic field increases, and it hardly changes with the increase of shear strain rate. MR fluids exhibit Bingham plastic model.
