Properties and Applications of Commercial Magnetorheological Fluids

Mark Jolly, Jonathan W. Bender, J. D. Carlson

Abstract

The rheological and magnetic properties of several commercial magnetorheological (MR) fluids are presented and discussed. These fluids are compared using appropriate figures of merit based on conventional design paradigms. Some contemporary applications of MR fluids are discussed. These applications illustrate how various material properties may be balanced to provide optimal performance.
