Electrorheological Squeeze-Flow Shock Absorber

摘要: We developed a squeeze-flow shock absorber and tested it under impact conditions typical of heavy-duty recoil mechanisms. In contrast to common shear-flow absorbers, here the volume fluid driven by piston does not flow through regions high electric field. Experiments on three commercially available "dry" ER fluids showed that only Bayer was able exhibit electric-field-induced stresses our test conditions. But results which were obtained with this illustrate numerous advantages be gained utilizing in advanced systems subjected disturbances destructive vibrations.
