Abstract

See full text

One embodiment includes a magnetorheological fluid having an on-state yield stress when a magnetic field is applied thereto and comprising a carrier fluid and magnetizable particles suspended in the carrier fluid, and wherein the suspension of the magnetizable particles in the carrier fluid remains essentially homogenous indefinitely in the absence of the magnetic field, and wherein the on-state yield stress of the magnetorheological fluid is greater than or equal to that of poly(alpha)olefin fluid containing the same concentration of magnetizable particles, and wherein the off-state viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid is between about 0.4 and about 12 Pascal-seconds at 40° C.
