Abstract

The rheological response of magnetorheological fluid (MRF) results from the polarization induced in the suspended particles by application of an external magnetic field. Characteristics of an MRF depend on the volume faction, that is the percentage of magnetic particles in the carrier liquid. We propose a qualitative investigation of these volume fraction effects by measuring properties of ultrasonic wave propagation velocity in MRFs having various volume fractions. The ultrasonic wave propagation velocity changes under the effect of an external magnetic field as a result of arrangement of clusters along the direction of the field in the MRF.
