Question

Discuss the applications of MR fluids and how they are made. Suggestion: search NASA’s website. One example you’ll find there, the Dong Ting Lake bridge in China (see below), utilizes MR motion dampers to counteract wind. Another example is “liquid body armor,” for which a search of the web will reveal several interesting applications, as well as some diagrams showing how these fluids work.

Address some of the following in your posts and responses: What are the sources of the magnetic fields for these fluids? What are the compositions of these fluids? How many applications of these fluids can you discover?

Explanation / Answer

1.MR fluid is different from a ferrofluid which has smaller particles.

2.MR fluids often contain surfactants including, but not limited to:

3.The application set for MR fluids is vast, and it expands with each advance in the dynamics of the fluid.

applications such as heavy motor damping, operator seat/cab damping in construction vehicles, and more.The U.S. Army Research Office is currently funding research into using MR fluid to enhance body armor. In 2003,

It was used in the construction of the Hubble Space Telescope's corrective lens.
