The influence of bentonite content on the performance characteristics of magnetorheological fluids
Key Points
The research aims to explore how varying bentonite content affects the properties of magnetorheological fluids.
Examined bentonite concentrations ranging from 0 to 2.0 wt%
Studied the properties of bentonite-modified magnetorheological fluids
Conducted performance testing of fluid characteristics
Performance characteristics of BMRFs varied significantly with bentonite content.
Optimal bentonite concentration was identified for enhanced fluid properties.
Higher concentrations showed improvements in certain mechanical behaviors.
Abstract
This study investigates the influence of bentonite concentration (0–2.0 wt%) on the properties of bentonite-modified magnetorheological fluids (BMRFs).
