An experimental study is presented of the dynamic behavior of the impacting droplet of magneto-rheological suspension under applied magnetic fields. Effects of magnetic fields on the impact phenomena between a MR fluid droplet and paper on the hard rubber mat were revealed with a three-dimensional motion analysis system. In case of perpendicular magnetic field to a target surface, the MR fluid droplet did not collapse completely by its impact, but MR fluid spikes were formed by the magnetic field. In case of parallel magnetic field to a target surface, the MR fluid droplet showed complicated deformation. In case of strong parallel field, the MR fluid droplet showed breakup into few droplets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
