Abstract
The effects of electric and magnetic fields on the theological propert ies of a suspension of iron particles was studied with a parallel plat e rheometer. The suspension exhibited a large increase in its yield st ress upon application of the electric and/or magnetic fields. In parti cular, the combination of the electric and magnetic fields induced a d rastic increase of the yield stress owing to the aggregation of the di spersed particles. With this electromagnetorheological (EMR) fluid, th e electric and magnetic fields exhibited a significant synergism to in crease the yield stress.
