    Magnetorheological Fluids: Dr. Mohammad Tawfik

    Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are liquids that can quickly change from free-flowing liquid to semi-solid when exposed to a magnetic field, allowing their yield stress to be controlled. MR fluids are made by dispersing micron-sized iron particles in a carrier fluid like oil or grease. When a magnetic field is applied, the iron particles form chains within the fluid, creating a controllable structure that can dampen vibrations or act as a clutch.

    Magnetorheological Fluids

    Dr. Mohammad Tawfik


    MR Fluids
    How do they work?
    • Externally applied magnetic field
    in a direction normal to the fluid
    flow direction form dipoles in the
    iron particles
    • Magnetic poles start attracting
    each others to the direction of the
    field, hence forming chains
    • The chains then form a skeleton
    within the fluid, which gains the
    fluid controllable yield stress
    Why MR technology?
    Required Materials to
    synthesize an MR fluid:
     General purpose oil
    • Lithium grease
     Micron-sized iron particles
