Abstract
Electro-stress and electron-hydraulic time delay are investigated in s hear mode tests on ERF (electro-rheological fluid). These parameters a re examined using a concentric, Couette clutch operating over a range of shear rates, volume fraction of solid in the ERF, and temperature. Pointers to system design, associated control strategy, fluid selectio n and optimal operating conditions are derived from these results.
