Orientational Distribution Function

In a suspension composed of spindle-like hematite particles (α-Fe2O3), the previous theoretical study based on the orientational distribution function has shown that the viscosity due to the magnetic properties of spindle-like hematite particles exhibits negative magneto-rheological characteristics in a certain situation of the orientational distribution of the particles under a certain applied magnetic field circumstance. This is mainly because the spindle-like hematite particles have a unique characteristic in that they are magnetized in a direction normal to the particle axis direction. This weak magnetic characteristic yields an advantage to the suspension in that it is relatively straightforward to synthesize a stable dispersion of such hematite particles because the electric double layer functions well for preventing the particles from aggregating. The negative magneto-rheological effect has also energetically been investigated by a simulation approach based on the Brownian dynamics and these simulation results clearly show that the negative magneto-rheological characteristics certainly arise in a multi-particle suspension system. From this background, in the previous experimental study, we synthesized a suspension composed of spindle-like hematite particles and measured the viscosity due to the magnetic properties of the particles in a simple shear flow. This first simple experiment has succeeded in verifying that the negative magneto-rheological characteristics surely arise in an actual hematite particle suspension. The present study further advances the experimental investigation of the negative magneto-rheological effect in order to obtain the more detailed data of these negative magneto-rheological characteristics. The viscosity due to the magnetic properties was measured using a cone-plate-type rheometer, located in the uniform area of the magnetic field, under various conditions of the magnetic field strength and the shear rate of a shear flow. The viscosity of hematite-glycerol-water dispersions becomes negative, attains to a minimum value, after that starts to increase, and finally becomes positive with increasing magnetic field strength. These characteristics of the negative viscosity are in good agreement with the theoretical prediction that was obtained by the orientational distribution function.

Magneto Rheological

Magneto-rheological elastomer( MR elastomer) is an emerging intelligent material made up of macromolecule polymer and magnetic particles. While a promising wide application it has in the fields of warships vibration controlling for its controllable mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties by external magnetic field, design and application of devices based on it are facing great limitations imposed by its poor performance in mechanical properties and magneto effect. Aiming at developing a practical MR elastomer, a new confecting method was proposed in this paper. Then, following this new method and using a specificly designed solidifying matrix, an amido- polyester MR elastomer was developed with its mechanical property systemically explored.

For nanocrystalline alloy Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9 thermomechanical treatment was carried out simultaneously with nanocrystallizing annealing (1) or after it (2). It was shown that a change in magnetic properties for the case 1 is essentially greater than for the case 2. Complex effect of thermomagnetic and thermomechanical treatments on magnetic properties was studied in the above-mentioned nanocrystalline alloy as well as in the amorphous alloy Fe5Co70.6Si15B9.4., During the annealings both field and stress were aligned with the long side of the specimens. It was shown that the magnetic field, AC or DC, decreases an effect of loading. Moreover, the magnetic field, AC or DC, applied after stress-annealing can destroy the magnetic anisotropy already induced under load.

Abstract Mechanical components, such as springs, dampers and mass, alter and influence an engineered system’s motion based upon a system’s position, velocity and acceleration, respectively. This paper aims to discover and develop another element (dubbed the damper) which provides a force proportional to a system’s jerk (i.e., the derivative of acceleration) to better engineer a system’s response. By utilizing the known applications of jerk in motion planning and control theory, existing possible physical implementations and uses of jerk and the jerk element are discussed in relation to its influence on the system’s response, specifically vibration. Using a Buckingham Pi approach, the theoretical background of the jerk element is presented and possible physical parameters are combined to show how the jerk element could be created from common elements and parameters. The most promising approach of varying the magnetic field of existing magneto-rheological dampers is developed to give an example of the jerk element along with the difficulties and concerns in developing the jerk element. This paper serves less of a purpose towards answering all questions of the jerk element, but rather focuses more on posing the appropriate questions which sets the stage for an easily realizable future jerk element which can improve system performance.

This paper describes an experimental investigation conducted on magneto-rheological elastomers (MREs) with the aim of adopting these materials to make mounts to be used as vibration isolators. These materials, consisting of an elastomeric matrix containing ferromagnetic particles, are considered to be smart materials, as it is possible to control their mechanical properties by means of an applied magnetic field. In the first part of the paper, the criteria adopted to define the characteristics of the material and the experimental procedures for making samples are described. The samples are subjected to a compressive static test and are then, adopting a testing machine specially configured, tested for shear periodic loads, each characterized by a different constant compressive preload. The testing machine is equipped with a coil, with which it is possible to vary the intensity of the magnetic field crossing the sample during testing to evaluate the magneto-rheological effect on the materials’ characteristics in terms of stiffness and damping.

This paper examines the characteristics of stick-slip phenomena between the glass plate and Magneto-Rheological Elastomer (MRE) surface. Stick-slip phenomena are the spontaneous jerking motion that occurs while two objects are sliding over each other, usually accompanied by noise. Stick-slip is generated when it involves discontinuous frictional degradation when moving from static friction to dynamic friction. The phenomena can lead to uneven wear patterns, vibration and squeal noise which cause a shorter lifespan for the corresponding mechanical elements. MREs are kind of function materials to consist of a polymeric matrix with embedded ferromagnetic particles. Mechanical properties of the MREs can be controlled by the application of magnetic fields. The magnetic field-based controllability can be applied to the control of stick-slip phenomena. The friction experiment is conducted with the Reciprocating Friction Tester (RFT). The sliding speed of the RFT should be in low-speed conditions in order to make the stick-slips relatively easy to occur. A uniform magnetic field and a weight load are applied to the MRE sample to observe the effect of various experimental parameters on the movement of the stick-slip. In addition, frictional sounds due to the stick-slip phenomenon under different loads and magnetic field strength are measured and analyzed. The results of this experiment show that as the strength of the magnetic field increases, the difference in stiffness between the wipers-glass decreases, mitigating fricatives. The result is expected to be well applied to low-noise automotive wipers based on the controllability of friction behavior and squeal noise.

The magnetic field of the Sun is mainly concentrated into intense magnetic flux tubes having field strengths of the order of 1 kG. In this paper an overview is given of the thermal and magnetic properties of these flux tubes, which are known to exhibit a large range in size, from the smallest magnetic elements to sunspots. Differences and similarities between the largest and smallest features are stressed. Some thoughts are also presented on how the properties of magnetic flux tubes are expected to scale from the solar case to that of solar-like stars. For example, it is pointed out that on giants and supergiants turbulent pressure may dominate over gas pressure as the main confining agent of the magnetic field. Arguments are also presented in favour of a highly complex magnetic geometry on very active stars. Thus the very large starspots seen in Doppler images probably are conglomerates of smaller (but possibly still sizable) spots.

A series of thin-film nanocomposites based on ferromagnetic metal Co and insulator SiO were prepared using an electron-beam method. The magnetoresistive and magnetic properties of these structures deposited at room temperature and then annealed to 700 K were investigated. The results showed that at the Co concentration 40 [Formula: see text]x [Formula: see text] 60 at.%, thin-film nanocomposites exhibit magnetoresistance (MR) that is conditional on spin-dependent tunnelling of electrons. This range of concentrations corresponds to the prepercolation area according to the magnetic investigations. For samples with x [Formula: see text] 70 at.%, the anisotropic character of MR peculiar to the homogeneous ferromagnetic materials appears. According to the magnetic properties study, this range of concentrations corresponds to the area after transition through the percolation threshold. The annealing process in temperature range from 300 K to 700 K in the magnetic field slightly influenced the magnetoresistive properties of the thin-film nanocomposites based on Co and SiO for all range of concentrations.
