Magnetorheological fluid response time in shear mode
Válek, Josef ; Vimmr, Jan (referee) ; Kubík, Michal (advisor)
Magnetorheological fluids (MRF) are suspensions of (commonly) oils and carbonyl iron powder. Under magnetic field, apparent viscosity of suspension changes in short time. This so-called response time can’t be neglected in modern MR devices. Multiple response times are distinguished based on load mode. Rheological response time (MRF under shear rate) will be affected by load and composition of MRF. In this thesis, these influencing parameters are investigated, which was allowed by developing rheometer with minimal hardware response time and methodology. Gained data shows, that most affecting parameter is ratio of inner forces, described e.g., Mason number. Model of Mason number was verified for larger values, but in lower values, significant difference was observed (probably caused by different shear stress mechanism in MRF). After other investigation and clarification of model, precise prediction of MRF and MR devices behaviour will be possible, which can lead to improving their function and e.g., road safety.
