固液双相电流变系统流动过程的相转变特性

考虑电流变液多粒子近程相互作用，利用等效平板电导模型，研究了电流变液流动过程相转变点的特性，并设计实验观察了电流变液中的这种相转变现象.研究结果表明，电流变液在一定压力梯度作用下发生流动，此时为双相流；当外加电场达到某一值时，电流变液中颗粒不流动，由固液双相流转变为液体单相流动，发生场控相转变，理论模拟结果与实验观察结果基本相符.阈值电场随外加压力梯度的增加而加大，随颗粒浓度的增加而减小. 关键词： 电流变液 颗粒流 相转变

Dynamic stability of a sandwich plate with a constraining layer and electrorheological fluid core

The dynamic stability problems of a sandwich plate with a constraining layer and an electrorheological (ER) fluid core subjected to an axial dynamic force are investigated. The rectangular plate is covered in an ER fluid core and a constraining layer to improve the stability of the system. Effects of the natural frequencies, static buckling loads, and loss factors on the dynamic stability behavior of the sandwich plate are studied in the paper. Rheological property of an ER material, such as viscosity, plasticity, and elasticity may be changed when applying an electric field. The modal damper and the natural frequencies for the sandwich plate are calculated for various electric fields. When an electric field is applied, the damping of the system is more effective. In this study, finite element method and the harmonic balance method are used to calculate the instability regions of the sandwich plate. The ER fluid core is found to have a significant effect on the dynamic stability regions.     

Maxwell stress in fluid mixtures

We examine the structure of Maxwell stress in binary fluid mixtures under an external electric field and discuss its consequence. In particular, we show that, in immiscible blends, it is intimately related to the statistics of domain structure. This leads to a compact formula, which may be useful in the investigation of electrorheological effects in such systems. The stress tensor calculated in a phase separated fluid under a steady electric field is in a good agreement with recent experiments.     

Compression Enhanced Shear Yield Stress of Electrorheological Fluid

Shear tests of an electrorheological fluid with pre-applied electric field and compression along the fleld direction are carried out. The results show that pre-compressions can increase the shear yield stress up to ten times. Under the same external electric field strength, a higher compressive strain corresponds to a larger shear yield stress enhancement but with slight current density decrease, which shows that the particle interaction potentials are not increased by compressions but the compression-induced chain aggregation dominates the shear yield stress improvement. This pre-compression technique might be useful for developing high performance flexible ER or magnetorheological couplings.     

Numerical optimization of bolometric infrared detectors including optical loading, amplifier noise, and electrical nonlinearities

We present numerical methods for the optimization of bolometric infrared detectors which use current-biased semiconducting thermistors. We extend the analysis of Griffin and Holland to explicitly include both the electric field dependence of the thermistor resistance and amplifier noise. These methods allow the user to design and evaluate an optimized bolometer once such parameters as the optical loading, the heat sink temperature, and the materials for the thermal link and the thermistor have been chosen. Measured parameters which describe the electrical nonlinearities in neutron transmutation doped germanium are presented. The consequences for bolometer optimization of including these effects are illustrated. This program will be made available at the web site http://physics7.berkeley.edu/bolometer.html.

Two identical conducting spheres with same potential in a uniform electric field

Interaction, polarization, and charges or electric field distribution of conducting spheres in applied electric field are in many fields including electrorheological fluids, electrophoresis, and electrical engineering. A system with two equipotential conducting spheres in an applied uniform electric field is analyzed by image method. A new method is put forward to calculate the image charges distribution when using image method, which ensures the validity of image method to analyze equipotential cases. An apparatus is constructed to measure the force experimentally as well. Results show that the distribution of electric field and electric interaction are different with the case not equipotential.     

An Exotic Phase Change in Dynamic Electrorheological Fluids

It is well known that constant or time-varying electric fields can induce phase changes in electrorheological(ER) fluids, from a liquid to semi-solid state, provided the field strength is larger than some critical value. We describe here an experimental and theoretical study considering yet a different class of phase changes, specifically those for an ER fluid in the presence of both shear flow and a time-varying electric field. We note that as the frequency of the field is decreased, the ER fluid will go from a liquid to an intermediate transition state, and eventually to a shear banding state. Our theoretical analysis further indicates that this phase change originates from competing effects of viscous and electrical forces. Ultimately, we conclude that it is possible to achieve various states and corresponding(desired)macroscopic properties of dynamic colloidal suspensions by adjusting the frequency of the externally applied electric field.

Phase transition in electrorheological plasmas

Applying an external electric AC field to a dusty plasma, the micro-particles arrange in strings or chains. In analogy to electrorheological fluids, such a system is called electrorheological plasma. Turning gradually the AC field into a DC field, the string formation is diminished until it vanishes completely in the DC case. In this way, a cross-over transition from a string-like to an isotropic micro-particle many-body system can be investigated. Experimental investigations of electrorheological plasmas are performed under microgravity conditions in parabolic flights. For analysing the image data, a supervised machine learning code was developed and a continuous cross over was found. A molecular dynamics simulation showed qualitatively similar results but also some deviations from the experimental results.

基于MaxwellWagner模型,推导出有效介电常数关于颗粒体积比的一系列正幂项解析表达式,计算导电球颗粒悬浮于介质或导电液体中构成的简立方格子结构的有效介电常数.数值计算结果表明:在高频条件下(0.1～1.0kHz),有效介电常数主要由导电球颗粒与液体的介电常数比决定,而在低频或直流条件下,导电球颗粒与液体电导率比则起主要作用;有效介电常数的虚数部分有时会很大,即电流变液中的电致损耗有时会相当强,在设计高性能的电流变液时,体系的电导率效应不能忽略.
