Electrorheological Fluids and its Application in Machine Equipment

Electrorheological (ER) fluids are such fluids whose apparent viscosity will change greatly by the imposition of high voltage electric field. As a new kind of smart liquids, ER fluids have received more and more attention in recent years. The ERF composition, mechanisms, and its nature are discussed. On the basis of above mentioned efforts, the applications of ERF in machine equipment are studied. As the devices, based on ER technology, are applied to the mechanical equipment, the technical performances of the equipment are improved obviously.
