Abstract
Unidirectional compressive properties of magnetorheological (MR) fluids have been investigated under slow compression and constant area with different magnetic fields and different initial gap distances. Experimental tests of unidirectional compression were firstly carried out by using a commercial plate–plate rheometer. The theoretical model based on the continuous squeeze flow theory was developed to calculate the compressive stress. The comparisons between the measured and calculated compressive stresses of MR fluids were made. It showed that the compression resistance of the MR fluid in the magnetic field was much higher than that predicted by the theory. With the increasing magnetic flux density, the deviation between measured and calculated curves accelerated. Characteristics of the compressive stress variation with the reduction in gap distance have been analyzed. The structure strengthening effect induced by the chain structure aggregation in squeeze mode has been used to explain this deviation.
