TLDR
In this article, it was shown that MR rubber materials with large irregular particles have a large MR effect although the particles are not aligned within the material, which is explained by the low critical particle volume concentration of such particles.About:

Improving the magnetorheological effect in isotropic magnetorheological rubber materials
Mattias Lokander,Bengt Stenberg +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the absolute MR effect of isotropic MR rubber materials with large irregular iron particles is independent of the matrix material, and that the relative MR effect can be increased by the addition of plasticisers.

Journal ArticleDOI
Induced Fibration of Suspensions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe some of the phenomena found to have their origin in electrically induced fibration of small particles in fluid liquid suspension, including the induced shear resistances found in layers of the fluid when bounded by potentialized electrode surfaces.

MR fluid, foam and elastomer devices
J. David Carlson,Mark R. Jolly +1 more
TL;DR: Magnetorheological (MR) fluids, foams and elastomers comprise a class of smart materials whose rheological properties may be controlled by the application of an external magnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of the behaviour of magnetorheological materials
TL;DR: In this paper, a quasi-static, one-dimensional model is developed that examines the mechanical and magnetic properties of magnetorheological materials, and the model attempts to account for magnetic nonlinearities and saturation by establishing a mechanism by which magnetic flux density is distributed within the composite material.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Magnetic Fluid Clutch
TL;DR: A new type of magnetic fluid and several classes of new devices utilizing this fluid have been developed at the National Bureau of Standards as discussed by the authors, and one application of this fluid has been in electromagnetic clutches, but the electro-magnetically controlled mixture offers promise for other uses also.
