Abstract
The static yield stress and complex dielectric constant of glass spher es dispersed in vacuum oil are measured as a function of (applied elec tric field) frequency and water content. Based on a model in which the dielectric constants of the solid and the liquid constituents are giv en by the Debye form with a log-normal distribution of relaxation time s, it is shown that the electrical and the mechanical electrorheologic al responses can be consistently explained through first-principles ca lculations.
