SHEARING EFFECTS ON THE ELECTRORHEOLOGICAL RESPONSE
The steady and transient stress responses were investigated from lower shear rates to higher shear rates at a given strength of the electric field, and the individual experimental conditions were reduced to Mason number (Mn). The electro-rheological response was found in the region with higher Mn of the order of 10, and the transient response became faster as the shear rate increased. These results show that the effect of chance of collision among the polarized particles would play an important role even in the region.
