It has been found that with increasing particle diameter,the shear stress of ER fluid decreased, and with increasing shear ratio,the shear stress of ER fluid increased for same diameter particle and composition ER fluid. At same time, the smaller of particle diameter, the higher of ER properties such as shear stress, but there is a critical value for shear ratio, when shear ratio is larger than critical value, the properties of ER is nearly a value for same composition ER fluid. Particles chain of ER fluid under certain electric field is different with diversity Ni group Particles.

By means of mechanical properties test, the relationship among particle size,electric field,magnetic field ,electromagnetic field and shear ratio on the Ni/TiO2/Urea core-shell particles electrorheological fluid properties analyses. It is found that with increasing particle size, the property of electrorheological fluid decreased, and with increasing shear ratio the property of electrorheological fluid increased for same composition ER. At same time, the smaller of particle size, the higher of ER properties, but there is a critical value for shear ratio, the properties of ER is near value for same composition ER fluid. In magnetic field, the properties of ER showed a contrary result, the smaller of particle size, the lower of ER properties,and electromagnetic field make the properties increase.

In the present paper, mechanical properties test and morphology observation,the effect among electric field, magnetic field and electromagnetic field, shear ratio on the Ni/TiO2/Urea core-shell particles electrorheological fluid properties were studied. It is found that with increasing electric field, magnetic field and shear ratio in the same composition electrorheological fluid, the property of electrorheological fluid can be increased. However, there is a critical value for shear ratio. When shear ratio is larger than 20s-1, the property of ER is nearly certain value for same composition ER fluid. Electromagnetic field reciprocal effect can increase the properties of ER fluid, and make the particles chain become thicker and interweaved each other.

By means of mechanical properties test and structure observation, the relationship among electric field strength, polar molecule type, content on the Ni/TiO2group electrorheological fluid properties have been analyzed. It is found that with increasing electric field strength,the properties of electrorheological fluid increased for same composition ER fluid. Different type polar molecules have distinct effect. For same particle,with increasing polar molecule content,the property is increased, but there is a critical value . Polar molecule make particles chain of electrorheological fluid become strong,coarse and interweaved each other.

By means of mechanical properties test,the relationship among shear ratio, concentration and electric field, magnetic field, electromagnetic field on the Ni/TiO2/SDBS EMR fluid properties have been analyzed. It had found that with increasing shear ratio,the shear stress of Ni/TiO2/SDBS EMR fluid increased for same composition, but there is a critical value. With increasing concentration,the property of EMR fluid increased for same shear ratio. Coupling electromagnetic field makes the properties improve.

By means of mechanical properties test and microstructure observation,the relationship between mechanical properties ,microstructure graph of core-shell Ni/TiO2group particles concentration of EMR and different electric field, magnetic field or electric-magnetic field have been researched. It is found that with increasing of particles concentration, the properties are increased. But there is a critical range value, too high or too low particles concentrations are harmful to properties and microstructure. The best particles concentration of Ni/TiO2particles is about 30%. In the same field with increasing concentration, particles chain of electrorheological fluid under certain electric field become more strong,brawnier and interweaved each other.

Electro-Rheological (ER) fluid behavior is similar to Bingham fluid’ s. Only when the shear stress magnitude of ER fluid exceeds the yield stress, Newtonian flow results. Continuous shear strain rate equation about shear stress which simulates Bingham-like fluid shows viscosity variations. Shear yield stress is controlled by electric fields. Electric fields in circumferential direction around the journal are also changeable because of gap distance. These values make changes of spring and damping coefficients of journal bearings compared to Newtonian flow case. Implicit viscosity variation effects according to shear strain rates of fluid are included in generalized Reynolds' equation for submerged journal bearing. Fluid film pressure and perturbation pressures are solved using switch function of Elord's algorithm for cavitation boundary condition. Spring and damping coefficients are obtained for several parameters that determine the characteristics of ER fluids under a certain electric field. From these values stability region for simple rotor-bearing system is computed. It is found that there are no big differences in load capacities with the selected electric field parameters at low eccentric region and higher electric field can support more load with stability at low eccentric region.

This paper emphasis have researched the effect of Ni/TiO2group particles modifier with Urea by properties and microstructure,it has showed that ER activity of the particles were closely associated with urea content. When the mass ratio of urea/Ti is 30%, The microstructure observation of the ER fluids under DC electric field showed that the particles aggregated to form thicker and dense column structure when the mass ratio of Urea/Ti is 30%, while the column structure were broken when excessive urea (>30%) was added. A thin and loose column structure was formed in non-urea added ER fluid.

Electrorheology (ER) of ferroelectric materials such as nanometric BaTiO 3 is still not fully understood. In this paper, nanoparticles of Ba x Sr (1-x) TiO 3 (where x = 0.8, 0.9 or 1.0) were synthesized using the method of Pechini, calcinated at 950°C, and after, lixiviated under pH 1 or pH 5. A controlled stress rheometer (MCR-301) was used to make the ER characterization of dispersions made of Ba x Ti 1-x O 3 in silicone oil (30% w/w), where (a) shear stress as a function of DC electric field (under constant shear rate) or (b) shear stress as a function of shear rate (under constant AC or DC electric field) were measured. We observed that electrophoresis occurred under electric field DC, creating a concentration gradient which induced phase separation in ER fluid. On the other hand, under AC fields above 1 kV/mm, the ER effect is stronger than for DC field, and almost without electrophoresis. Furthermore, there is an AC frequency, dependent on the disperse phase, where the ER effect has a maximum.
