Abstract In order to study the rheological properties of aqueous magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) from microscopic point of view, an experimental observation method based on the fluorescence confocal laser scanning microscope is proposed to clearly produce the chain shape of the magnetic particles. Firstly, the mathematical model of the magnetic particles is established in a magnetic field using the magnetic dipole theory, and the MRFs with different fraction volumes and different magnetic fields are investigated. Furthermore, an aqueous MRFs experiment is prepared, in which the magnetic particles are combined with Alexa 488 fluorescent probe. On this basis, an observation method is innovatively developed using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) image analysis by the fluorescence confocal microscope. The rheological mechanism of the aqueous MRFs is investigated using four different types of MRFs in an external magnetic field. The analysis results demonstrate that the simulation and experimental rheological properties of the MRFs are consistent with the magnetic dipole theory. Moreover, the proposed method is able to real-time observe the rheological process of the MRFs with a very high resolution, which ensures the correctness of the analysis results of the rheological mechanism.

Magnetic fluids are substances whose rheological properties can be actively influenced by treatment with a magnetic field. Two main types of magnetic fluids can be distinguished: ferromagnetic fluids, and magnetorheological fluids. Ferrofluids are mostly used in sealing engineering, whereas magnetorheological fluids are usually applied in controlled systems for the dissipation of mechanical energy, like brakes and dampers. The ability to control the rheological properties of magnetic fluids opens new horizons for development in machine design, among others in the areas of bearing engineering. The paper presents a comparative analysis of the rheological characteristics of selected magnetic fluids with a focus on the possible areas of the application of these substances in bearing engineering.

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are materials that respond to an applied magnetic field with a change in their rheological properties. Upon application of a magnetic field, MR fluids have a variable yield strength. Altering the strength of the applied magnetic field will control the yield stress of these fluids. In this paper, the method for measuring the yield stress of MR fluids is proposed. The curves between the yield stress of the MR fluid and the applied magnetic field are obtained from the experiment. The result indicates that with the increase of the applied magnetic field the yield stress of the MR fluids goes up rapidly.

To predict the shear stress of magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) under magnetic field and shear flows, a meso-microscale shear model is proposed based on the entire course of particle aggregates and chains. For this purpose, a systematic study on the microstructure evolution and rheological properties of MRFs is conducted by using molecular dynamics simulations. An efficient chain identification technique is introduced to count the number of particle chains within the suspension system. From the perspective of particle-level simulations, the microstructured behavior of MRFs involving particle aggregation and internal structure evolution of magnetorheological suspensions are addressed. Shear properties of MRFs derived by the proposed model are studied, and model verification by comparison with previous experimental data and predictions of the existing structural viscosity model is included as well. It is revealed that the proposed meso-microscale shear model exhibits satisfactory accuracy and efficiency for describing the rheological properties of MRFs. Besides, the critical factors linked with rheological properties of MRFs such as magnetic field strength, particle volume fraction and shear rate, are analyzed, further demonstrating the applicability of the proposed model in design and optimization of MRFs.

The operating state of thrust plain bearings is a function of many parameters, both geometric and related to load conditions. Besides the methods of controlling bearings of this type used so far, new possibilities of modelling their operating characteristics by using substances with controlled rheological properties as a lubricant can be pointed out. Magnetorheological fluids create such a possibility. These are suspensions of particles with magnetic properties in a carrier fluid (usually in mineral or synthetic oil). The influence of magnetic field on this type of fluids changes their rheological properties. This process is almost instantaneous and fully reversible. The paper presents the results of investigations of a thrust squeeze bearing lubricated with magnetorheological fluid. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of selected factors on the axial force as a result of the oscillatory squeeze load.

The improvement of properties of magnetorheological fluids and mechanism study has long been a classic area within the field of magnetorheological materials. This article was undertaken to dope the iron nanoparticles synthesized by direct current electric arc discharge with the traditional carbonyl iron powders to prepare bimodal magnetorheological fluids with different doping ratios. Their rheological properties and sedimentation stability were evaluated to explore the influence rules and mechanisms. The results indicate that the effect of the addition of iron nanoparticles on rheological properties under magnetic field is a combination of two opposing factors such as the strengthening of the structure and the weakening of magnetization. The sedimentation stability of the bimodal magnetorheological fluids improved significantly with the increase in the proportion of iron nanoparticles, which is attributed to the help of both free state and adsorbed state iron nanoparticles in magnetorheological fluids. Furthermore, within a specific magnetic field strength range, the bimodal magnetorheological fluids with a small proportion of iron nanoparticles can achieve an improvement in both rheological property and sedimentation stability compared with carbonyl iron particles–based magnetorheological fluids.

Abstract The article presents results of tribological research carried on four ball tester and dynamic rheometer for different magnetorheological fluids. The wear test was conducted with and without magnetic field. The dynamic rheology measurement was done at wide range of velocity. The inteligent fluids differed from each other by an amount of solid phase and kind of base liquid.

The rheological properties of novel MR fluids are characterized using a parallel plate MR shear rheometer. In these MR fluids the surface of iron particles is coated with a polymer. The rheological properties are measured and compared at various magnetic field strengths, shear rates and strain amplitudes. It has been shown that these MR fluids exhibit stable and desirable rheological properties such as, low viscosity and high yield stress.
