Shear Behavior of Magnetorheological Fluid and its effect on MR brake performance
Keywords:
MR fluid, MR brake, Shear behaviorAbstract
The aim of this paper is review the viscosity of magnetorheological (MR) fluid as function of shear rate. The different
rheological models of shear stress as a function of shear rate have been reviewed. MR fluid has been characterized at
various shear rates for different magnetic fields to observe the shear behavior of MR fluid. In order to confirm the
shear behavior of MR fluids, experiments have been conducted in MR brake test rig. The results show that with
increase in shear rate, there is decrease in braking torque
