Shear thickening fluids in protective applications: A review

The characteristics of an electrorheological (ER) fluid, as a class of smart soft matter, can be actively and accurately tuned between a liquid- and a solid-like phase by the application of an electric field. ER materials used in ER fluids are electrically polarizable particles, which are attracting considerable attention in addition to further research. This perspective reports the latest ER materials along with their rheological understanding and provides a forward-looking summary of the potential future applications of ER technology.

Experimental dynamic analysis of composite sandwich beams with magnetorheological honeycomb core

VFC – Variational Feedback Controller and its application to semi-active suspensions

In the paper, shock absorbers with magnetorheological (MR) fluids were described. These elements can be used in many applications related to vehicle machines such as bumpers, dampers, shock absorbers, vibration eliminators, etc. Basic theoretical relationships which allow design and modelling of MR fluid shock absorbers are shown. Experimental designs of MR absorber and some example results of research were presented and discussed. The application of PI force controller used to improve the dissipation characteristic of built MR shock absorber has been shown.
