“…The tensile yield stress was found to be three to four times the shear yield stress under the same electric field, and the obtained compressive stress has reached as high as 250 kPa [24,25]. This high mechanical performance shows that compression of ER fluids may be hoped to be used in squeezing dampers with relatively small strokes, such as engine mounts [33]. Gartling and Phan-Thien [29] have modeled the compressive flow of plastic fluids.…”

“…However, instead of shearing, an ER system can also be stressed parallel to the electric field. [5][6][7][8] The advantage of this tensile mode of operation is the increased yield stress of the system. As a matter of fact, the difference in yield stresses between the sheared and compressed system has experimentally been shown to be about one order of magnitude.…”

Mechanical properties of electrorheological fluids under various dynamical loading conditions have been studied using a computer simulation model. The model assumes electrostatic point–dipole interaction between particles with or without multipolar corrections and the interaction with the base fluid due to viscous laminar flow is described with Stokes drag. Mechanical loading is introduced as constant rate shear, compression or elongation to a system of particles set initially to a single chain, a column of body centered tetragonal (BCT) unit cells, a thick BCT structure or to a structure grown with electric field from originally random configuration. Results show that the single chain structure has usually the highest relative strength. Electrorheological systems under compressive loading were found to transmit the largest force from one plate to another. Under elongation loading a thick BCT structure seemed surprisingly weak compared with the system under compression or shear. In addition, the response of a BCT structure to sinusoidally alternating shear or tensile straining has been studied. Under tensile loading it was found that the ability of the system to transfer force is much more dependent on oscillation frequency than under shear loading.
