Abstract
A rheological measurement system was constructed to investigate the rheological behavior of magnetic fluids under a wide range of shear rates, and its feasibility was verified. The system is capable of measuring a shear rate range spanning five orders of magnitude, with a maximum shear rate of 106 s−1. It was utilized to study the time required for aqueous magnetic fluids in a magnetic field to reach a steady state, taking into account the coupling effect of the flow field and magnetic field. Additionally, the time needed for the magnetic fluids to return to their initial state after demagnetization was also measured. Based on these measurements, the rheological behavior of magnetic fluids with varying concentrations and magnetic field directions was studied. Results indicate that the residence time of the magnetic fluids in the magnetic field and the de-magnetization time have almost no effect on their viscosity. When the magnetic field direction is perpendicular to the flow direction, regardless of concentration, aqueous magnetic fluids exhibit shear thinning behavior; when it is parallel to the flow direction, high-concentration aqueous magnetic fluids show shear thickening, while low-concentration ones behave as Newtonian fluids. In this study’s shear rate range, no Newtonian regions were found in either high- or low-shear rate regions.
期刊介绍:
Smart Materials and Structures (SMS) is a multi-disciplinary engineering journal that explores the creation and utilization of novel forms of transduction. It is a leading journal in the area of smart materials and structures, publishing the most important results from different regions of the world, largely from Asia, Europe and North America. The results may be as disparate as the development of new materials and active composite systems, derived using theoretical predictions to complex structural systems, which generate new capabilities by incorporating enabling new smart material transducers. The theoretical predictions are usually accompanied with experimental verification, characterizing the performance of new structures and devices. These systems are examined from the nanoscale to the macroscopic. SMS has a Board of Associate Editors who are specialists in a multitude of areas, ensuring that reviews are fast, fair and performed by experts in all sub-disciplines of smart materials, systems and structures.
A smart material is defined as any material that is capable of being controlled such that its response and properties change under a stimulus. A smart structure or system is capable of reacting to stimuli or the environment in a prescribed manner. SMS is committed to understanding, expanding and dissemination of knowledge in this subject matter.
