MR Fluid
Magneto-rheological fluid (MRF) is a type of smart material whose rheological properties (e.g. Viscosity) can be rapidly varied by applying a magnetic field. MR fluid is prepared in the laboratory with predetermined composition of key ingredients including silicon oil, additives and Carbonyl Iron Particles. The fluid is then tested on Rheometer and in-house Electrodynamic Shaker for the magnetization, rheological fluid characterization and vibration damping.
