Squeeze-strengthening effect of silicone oil-based magnetorheological fluid

Abstract

In order to study the squeeze-strengthening effect of silicone oil-based magnetorheological fluid (MRF), theoretical basis of disc squeezing brake was presented and a squeezing braking characteristics test-bed for MRF was designed. Moreover, relevant experiments were carried out and the relationship between squeezing pressure and braking torque was proposed. Experiments results showed that the yield stress of MRF improved linearly with the increasing of external squeezing pressure and the braking torque increased three times when external squeezing pressure achieved 2 MPa.

Keywords
