Abstract
The work is a practical investigation of an electro-rheological fluid in a hydrodynamic film using a Rayleigh step bearing in which a step e lectric field is applied across the fluid film. A number of different bearings are used and all data presented is for the repeatable conditi on of zero net flow rate. Earlier work on steady state conditions is e xtended to high speed data logging of the pressure generation response to DC step excitations of various magnitudes.
