전기장이 인가되고 있는 유로를 유동하는 전기유변유체의 기본성질을 파악하기 위 한 실험 및 해석적 연구를 수행하여 빙햄유체로서의 유효성에 대해 알아보고 전기장과 유로 면 형상 및 진동유동으로 인한 영향에 대해 조사함으로써 ER밸브 및 ER대퍼로의 응용과 관련한 감쇄력 제어에 대해 검토하였다. 첫 번째 실험은 ER밸브의 높이가 2mm인 적극면이 평탄한것과 요철로 된 것을 사용하여 압력손실을 압력변환기로 측정함으로써 전기장 및 유 로형상에 대한 영향을 알아보았다. 압력손실 및 전단응력이 전기자세기와 함수관계를 가짐 을 알수 있었고 전기장세기와 유속의 변화시 손실계수에 의한 ER효과의 상이함이 확인되었 으며 레이놀즈수가 커지면 항복전단응력의 영향은 나타나지 않았다. 두 번째 실험은 실린더 를 정현파로 진동시켜 ER밸브에서 감쇠력제어가 가능한가를 알아보고 빙햄유체모델로 설계 된 ER댐퍼의 모델과 비교하였다. ER배르와 ER댐퍼의 수학적 모델을 시뮬레이션한 결과는 약간 벗어남이 보이기는 하나 실험결과와 일치하요 있다. 이것은 ER유체를 단순히 빙행유 체로 취급할수없으나 거시적으로는 빙햄유체로 취급할수 있음을 시사한다.

The electrorheological(ER) behavior of hollow polyaniline(PANI) sebacate suspension in silicone oil was investigated by varying the electric fields and shear rates, respectively. The hollow PANI sebacate susepnsion acted as a typical Bingham fluid caused by the polarizability of an amide polar group and showed shear yield stress due to the formation of chains upon application of an electric field. The shear stress for the hollow PANI sebacate suspension exhibited an electric field power of 1.24. On the basis of the experimental results, the newly synthesized hollow PANI sebacate suspension was found to be an anhydrous ER fluid.

In this study, the electrorheological (ER) fluid was used as finishing agent. Since the apparent viscosity can be controlled by an electric field, the ER fluid can be one of efficient materials in finishing processes. To finish small 3-dimensional structures such as the aspherical surface in optical elements, the possible arrangement of a tool, part and auxiliary electrode was described. We examined the influence of the addition of a few abrasive particles on the performance of the ER fluid by measuring yield stress and observed the behavior of abrasive particles in the ER fluid by a CCD camera, which had been also theoretically predicted from the electromechanical principles of particles. On the basis of the above results, the steady flow analysis around the rotating micro tool was performed considering the non-uniform electric field. Finally, borosilicate glass was finished using the mixture of the ER fluid and abrasive particles and material removal with field strength and surface roughness were investigated.

The electrorheological(ER) performance of a chitosan sebaciate suspension in silicone oil was investigated by varying the electric fields, volume fractions of particles, and shear rates, respectively. The chitosan sebacicate susepnsion showed a typical ER response caused by the polarizability of an amide polar group and shear yield stress due to the formation of multiple chains upon application of an electric field. The shear stress for the suspension exhibited a linear dependence on the volume fraction of particles and an electric field power of 1.88. On the basis of the results, the newly synthesized chitosan sebacicate suspension was found to be an anhydrous ER fluid.

Aminated polyacrylonitrile as the new organic disperse phases of the anhydrous ER fluid has been synthesized and ER effect of the suspension composed of aminated polyacrylonitrile in silicone oil investigated. The suspension showed a typical ER response (Bingham flow behavior) upon application of an electric field. The shear stress for the suspension exhibited the dependence with a factor equals to 1.6 power on theelectric field. The current density and the conductivity of the of aminated polyacrylonitrile suspension increase with the electric field intensity and moreover the conductivity of the suspension is about 8 order of magnitude higher than that of the silicone oil. On the basis of the the results, aminated polyacrylonitrile suspension showed the ER flow behavior upon application of the electric field due to the polarizability of the branched amine polar group of the aminated polyacrylonitrile particles.

In this study, the effect of particle aggregation on dynamic response time of Electrorheological (ER) fluid is investigated. The particle aggregation time is defined as the time interval between the application of the field and the formation of the first chain bridging the two electrodes. The dynamic response times of an ER fluid sheared between two concentric cylinders have been obtained under two different experimental conditions: the one is that the electric field is induced before shearing, and the other is that the electric field is induced after shearing. From the difference between two response times, the particle aggregation times are determined under various electric fields and shear rates. The experimental results show that the aggregation rate is decreased with an increase of shear rate, while electric field has little effect on it. Therefore, it is verified that the hydrodynamic force hinders the formation of chain-like structures.

The purpose of present research was to get characteristics and basic knowledges of electrorheological(ER) suspension. To observe behaviors of the ER suspensions. transparent conductive plates were used to visualize the flow of ER suspensions between two parallel plate electrodes. The influence of flowing speed and intensity of electric field on the ER fluid were examined in circle-shaped electric field, and it takes several hundred milliseconds that suspensions in flow cluster. The present study also conducts a numerical analysis adopting the Bingham model. It is found that simple Bingham model can not property describe the flow behavior in the parallel plates.

This paper presents force-feedback control performance of a haptic device in virtual environment of minimally invasive surgery(MIS). As a first step, based on an electrorheological(ER) fluid and spherical geometry, a new type of master device is developed and integrated with a virtual environment of MIS such as a surgical tool and human organ. The virtual object is then mathematically formulated by adopting the shape retaining chain linked(S-Chain) model. After evaluating reflection force, computational time, and compatibility with real time control, the virtual environment of MIS is formulated by interactivity with the ER haptic device in real space. Tracking control performances for virtual force trajectory are presented in time domain, and theirtrackingerrorsareevaluated.

ER clutch is a device using ER fluid, so called "intelligent material" and is a controlled system with electric field strength. Currently, the temperature of ER fluid increases and affects the performance of ER clutch when ER clutch is operating. This study was undertaken to estimate this performance variation due to temperature rise of ER fluid. An analytic heat transfer model of concentric cylinder type ER clutch was developed and with this model, effects of changing geometric, kinetic parameters of ER clutch and ER fluid properties were described. In conclusion, compared with neglecting thermal effects, a performance of ER clutch was very differential and for uniform performance of ER clutch, we have to improve thermal stability of ER fluid. ER fluid.
