RESEARCH OF ULTRASONIC SENSING AND MIXING ELEMENTS FOR CONTROL OF MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL FLUIDS STABILITY
Abstract
Using of magnetorheological fluids (MRF) can reduce energy costs and weight and increase the devices speed and lifetime. In order to fully use all the qualities of MRF properties one must from time to time mix them and measure their properties. These systems are still being designed and tested in the laboratories. There are many structures with rheological fluid, but in many devices fluids are sealed and mechanical mixing and direct measurement of fluid properties are not possible. Effective stability control system for the rheological fluids, which supports homogeneity of the fluid, is described
