根据能量保守原理,将微观粒子运动的动能等效成宏观动态屈服的应变能,建立内秉悬浮粒子运动涨落的磁流变液剪切应力的随机多尺度模型.分析表明,悬浮粒子初始随机条件和Brownian运动,以及剪切应变加载过程中,链簇反复断裂、重组的先后次序和数目不均匀,导致系统宏观屈服性态的非线性涨落和随机涨落;同时,微观运动涨落在体积平均过程中被严重弱化,宏观随机涨落相对不明显.拟合Bingham剪变率本构模型则进一步表明,外加场强对宏观屈服性态的变异性有一定程度的影响,磁流变液装置设计中应该考虑物理参数的随机性.

Investigation into ferrofluid magnetoviscous effects under an oscillating shear flow

The use of ferrofluid seals in mechanical systems can lead to viscous damping that affects their dynamic behavior. This paper describes an investigation into local viscous properties in the case of an axial harmonic force. The influence of magnetic field level, shear stress amplitude and frequency are studied. Even for ferrofluid particles in a highly saturated magnetic field, it is shown that viscosity increases with magnetic intensity, decreases with the frequency of harmonic excitation and is not sensitive to shear rate amplitude. Viscosity is lower for oscillatory flows than for steady flows.     

Yield stress in thin layers of ferrofluids

We present results of theoretical study of quasielastic behavior of ferrofluid filling a thin flat gap, placed into perpendicular magnetic field. When the field exceeds a certain critical magnitude, magnetic particles form dense discrete domains, elongated along the field, and linking the gap boundaries. Due to these bridges between the gap boundaries, the ferrofluid exhibits quasielastic properties with respect to shear strain in the plane of the gap. We estimated the elastic modules as well as the yield stress of the system, depending on magnetic field and concentration of magnetic particles in the ferrofluid. Analysis shows that there are at least two microscopical mechanisms of transition from the elastic to fluid behavior of the ferrofluid. The first one is connected with the loss of the mechanical equilibrium of the domains, slopped, under the shear stress, with respect to applied magnetic field. The second mechanism is connected with breakup of the “bridge” into two separate drops, when the shear strain exceeds some critical magnitude. Estimates show that for real ferrofluids the second mechanism is more probable.     

Preparation of superparamagnetic Fe3O4/PMMA nano composites and their magnetorheological characteristics

Fe₃O₄/PMMA composite particles were fabricated by a simple one-pot hydrothermal method. The magnetic measurement showed that the composite particles displayed a higher saturated magnetization and superparamagnetic property. The rheological properties of the magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) based on Fe₃O₄/PMMA particles were measured on a rotational rheometer with a magnetic field generator. It was found that the MRFs exhibited better MR effect and sendimentary stability than the similar materials.     

The heating effect of magnetic fluids in an alternating magnetic field

The heating mechanism and influencing factors of magnetite particles in a 63 kHz alternating magnetic field and 7 kA/m were studied. The results from in vivo heating experiments suggest that magnetite particles can generate enough energy to heat tumor tissue and perform effective hyperthermia. A novel model for predicting power losses has been proposed.     

Behavioral model for magnetorheological fluid under a magnetic field using Lekner summation method

Magnetorheological (MR) fluid is used for various applications due to its controllable viscosity. To predict the behavior of MR fluid under certain three-dimensional (3D) magnetic and shear strain fields, it is essential to model the fluid in an appropriate manner. The behavioral models used in the previous research, however, have serious limitations because most of them oversimplify the inter-particle interactions and employ assumptions valid only under specific geometric configurations and field conditions. In this study, a new model that can predict the behavior of MR fluid under arbitrary 3D magnetic and shear strain fields is proposed. The present work considers an MR fluid configured as a 3D infinite lattice structure. Using the proposed model, the shear stress components themselves, not the dipolar interaction energy, are calculated directly to avoid the mathematical singularity otherwise encountered. The resulting stress functions of the proposed model are transformed into rapidly convergent functions using the Lekner summation method. Finally, the characteristics of the stiffened MR fluid under a magnetic field are investigated using the transformed functions. Numerical computations on the original and transformed functions are performed and compared under selected conditions to ensure the validity and prove the high convergence efficiency of the proposed model.     

A behavior model of a magnetorheological fluid in direct shear mode

A model that considers the mutual interaction between particles and the external field in a magnetorheological (MR) fluid is proposed. The model predicts the magnetization, interaction energy density, and shear stress against an imposed strain along the planar direction under a uniform magnetic field. Using the Lekner summation method, slowly convergent magnetization functions are transformed into rapidly convergent ones. By applying the proposed model to an application suitable for commercial clutches and dampers working in direct shear mode, it is revealed that the mean magnetization vector and the associated functional quantities of the MR fluid behave harmonically with respect to the imposed shear strain.     

Magnetoelastic modelling of composites containing randomly dispersed ferromagnetic particles

Coupled magnetoelastic behaviour is investigated for two-phase composites containing randomly dispersed ferromagnetic particles under both magnetic and mechanical loading. The pair-wise particle interactions for magnetic field and elastic field are first defined by the solution for two particles embedded in the infinite domain, which is explicitly solved by the Green's function technique. By integrating the interactions from all other particles in the representative volume element, the homogenized magnetic and elastic fields are then obtained. Effective magnetostriction due to the magnetic interaction force is further derived. Without consideration of magnetic loading, this micromechanical model provides an effective elasticity with the pair-wise particle interactions. By dropping the interaction term, this model is reduced into Mori–Tanaka's model. Finally, magnetoelasticity is numerically solved by considering the magnetomechanical coupling effect. It is predicted that the effective Young's modulus and shear modulus decrease along with the increase of magnetic loading for random composites.     

Influence of composition of carbonyl iron particles on dynamic mechanical properties of magnetorheological elastomers

Magnetorheological elastomers (MRE) are known as smart materials. However, the magnetorheological (MR) effect of MRE is not high enough at present, which limits its engineering applications. Prior studies have shown that magneto-induced shear storage modulus and MR effect were mainly determined by the performance of the ferromagnetic particles. In this paper, MRE samples were prepared by carbonyl iron particles (CIP) of different compositions based on silicon rubber under external magnetic field. Their microstructures were observed using an optical digital microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The dynamic mechanical properties of MRE samples were measured using a modified dynamic mechanical analyzer under varying magnetic field strength and frequency. The results show that the carbon content of CIP have a greater impact on the dynamic mechanical properties of MRE. The magneto-induced shear storage modulus and MR effect can be increased by selecting CIP of low carbon content. In addition, the damping property is also significantly influenced by the carbon content of the CIP. This study is expected to provide guidance for fabrication of high performance MRE.
