On the basis of shear working mode of magnetorheological fluid, in this article, a novel temperature controllable yield stress measurement device is designed, and the double magnetic circuit structure and the heating structure are proposed. And then, the magnetic field and temperature field of the measurement device are simulated, respectively, by the finite element method. Furthermore, several experiments are carried out to evaluate the magnetic field, measurement precision, and repeatability of the self-designed device. The results indicate that the proposed measurement device has uniform magnetic field distribution and controllable temperature and also has high yield stress testing accuracy and repeatability.

The dispersed particles of magnetic fluid form stable chain-like clusters under the magnetic field, and shows “the flowing is controllable and the shape is controllable” effect. Based on this characteristic, using migration magnetic acted on the magnetic fluid, the object directional migration can be realize, then the magnetic fluid form ribbon at the same time, has the similar fluctuation behavior. The magnetic fluid aerosol migration principle, the aerosol magnetic circuit design, the magnetic field strength and the magnetic force were separately discussed in this paper. The magnetic fluid hover height using the MSL micrometer dial has determined and aerosol migration feasibility has confirmed using the experiment.

Generally, the magnetic field applied to a magnetorheological fluid (MRF) is generated by electromagnets. Electromagnets consume electric power during MRF magnetization, which is an issue. In this study, we examine two kinds of magnetizing mechanism using a permanent magnet, instead of electromagnets, to save electric power and generate a magnetic field on the MRF. One mechanism linearly moves the permanent magnet into the magnetic circuit composed of yokes. The magnetic field intensity on the MRF is then controlled by changing the overlap between the magnet and the yokes. The other mechanism rotates a permanent magnet in the magnetic circuit. The magnetic field intensity on the MRF is then controlled by changing the relative angular position between the magnet and the yokes. These two mechanisms normally generate force or torque on the magnet toward a magnetically stable position concerning the magnet, and the force or torque causes power consumption to hold and move the magnet. We design herein special magnetic circuits and a cancelation mechanism for the force or torque that drastically reduce the power consumption during the MRF magnetization compared with an electromagnet-type magnetizing device.

Based on the uniformity of magnetic field in shear circle, low magnetic field, and inconvenient of injecting magnetorheological fluid (MRF), the rotational parallel disk instrument for measuring the shear stress of MRF made by ourselves was improved. The magnetic circuit of the instrument was optimized using Ansys software, the parts and structure of leaking magnetic field were improved, and the uniformity of the magnetic field in shear circle plates was strengthen; when the current was 1.65A, the average magnetic field in shear circle plates was 0.9T. Then the influence on MRF by using different mass fractions of nano-Fe3O4 was researched, which indicate when the ration between the mass of nano-Fe3O4 and that of carbonyl iron particles is 5%, the characteristic of MRF is best.

The structure dependence of rheology on a model magnetorheological fluid is investigated experimentally. We find that the column-dominated structure formed under slow ramping of the magnetic field has higher dynamic yield stress than the "bent-wall" dominated structure formed under the fast ramping field. The measurement of the shear rate loop under fast ramping shows an abnormal rheological hysteresis. It indicates a shear assisted structural transition from the "bent-wall" dominated structure to a more stable structure. A possible shear-induced structure with circular stripes is suggested.

Abstract The High Precision Magnetometer (HPM) is one of the main payloads onboard the China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES). The HPM consists of two Fluxgate Magnetometers (FGM) and the Coupled Dark State Magnetometer (CDSM), and measures the magnetic field from DC to 15 Hz. The FGMs measure the vector components of the magnetic field; while the CDSM detects the magnitude of the magnetic field with higher accuracy, which can be used to calibrate the linear parameters of the FGM. In this paper, brief descriptions of measurement principles and performances of the HPM, ground, and in-orbit calibration results of the FGMs are presented, including the thermal drift and magnetic interferences from the satellite. The HPM in-orbit vector data calibration includes two steps: sensor non-linearity corrections based on on-ground calibration and fluxgate linear parameter calibration based on the CDSM measurements. The calibration results show a reasonably good stability of the linear parameters over time. The difference between the field magnitude calculated from the calibrated FGM components and the magnitude directly measured by the CDSM is just 0.5 nT (1σ) when the linear parameters are fitted separately for the day- and the night-side. Satellite disturbances have been analyzed including soft and hard remanence as well as magnetization of the magnetic torquer, radiation from the Tri-Band Beacon, and interferences from the rotation of the solar wing. A comparison shows consistency between the HPM and SWARM magnetic field data. Observation examples are introduced in the paper, which show that HPM data can be used to survey the global geomagnetic field and monitor the magnetic field disturbances in the ionosphere.

The paper presents research on magnetic field exciters dedicated to testing magnetocaloric materials (MCMs) as well as used in the design process of magnetic refrigeration systems. An important element of the proposed test stand is the system of magnetic field excitation. It should provide a homogeneous magnetic field with a controllable value of its intensity in the MCM testing region. Several concepts of a magnetic circuit when designing the field exciters have been proposed and evaluated. In the MCM testing region of the proposed exciters, the magnetic field is controlled by changing the structure of the magnetic circuit. A precise 3D field model of electromagnetic phenomena has been developed in the professional finite element method (FEM) package and used to design and analyze the exciters. The obtained results of the calculations of the magnetic field distribution in the working area were compared with the results of the measurements carried out on the exciter prototype. The conclusions resulting from the conducted research are presented and discussed.

Magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) based on amorphous Fe-Si-B alloy magnetic particles were prepared. The influence of annealing treatment on stability and rheological property of MRFs was investigated. The saturation magnetization ( Ms) of amorphous Fe-Si-B particles after annealing at 550°C is 131.5 emu/g, which is higher than that of amorphous Fe-Si-B particles without annealing. Moreover, the stability of MRF with annealed amorphous Fe-Si-B particles is better than that of MRF without annealed amorphous Fe-Si-B particles. Stearic acid at 3 wt% was added to the MRF2 to enhance the fluid stability to greater than 90%. In addition, the rheological properties demonstrate that the prepared amorphous particle MRF shows relatively strong magnetic responsiveness, especially when the magnetic field strength reaches 365 kA/m. As the magnetic field intensified, the yield stress increased dramatically and followed the Herschel-Bulkley model.

This paper proposes and experimentally investigates a novel nondestructive testing method for ferromagnetic elements monitoring, the Magnetic Recording Method (MRM). In this method, the inspected element must be magnetized in a strictly defined manner before operation. This can be achieved using an array of permanent magnets arranged to produce a quasi-sinusoidal magnetization path. The magnetic field caused by the original residual magnetization of the element is measured and stored for future reference. After the operation or loading, the magnetic field measurement is repeated. Analysis of relative changes in the magnetic field (for selected components) allows identifying applied stress. The proposed research methodology aims to provide information on the steel structure condition unambiguously and accurately. An interpretation of the results without referring to the original magnetization is also possible but could be less accurate. The method can be used as a standard technique for NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) or in structural health monitoring (SHM) systems.

Abstract This article deals with experimental testing of magnetorheological fluid (MRF) behaviour in the oscillatory squeeze mode. The authors investigate and analyse the influence of excitation frequency and magnetic field density level on axial force in MRFs that differ in particle volume fraction. The results show that, under certain conditions, the phenomenon of self-sealing can occur as a result of the magnetic field gradient and a vacuum in the working gap of the system.
