Abstract

Magnetic fluids have a unique combination of magnetic properties, fluidity and colloidal stability, which has allowed them to find applications in a variety of technical devices, such as shock absorbers and sensors. One of the features of this smart material is the ability to control its physical properties using various combinations of magnetic influences. In this work, the dynamics of a magnetic fluid volume levitating in an uniform magnetic field of an electromagnet undergoing oscillatory shear is investigated. The samples with different physical parameters were considered, the dependence of magnetoviscous effect was investigated. It is shown that the microstructure of the sample and the presence of large magnetic particles have the greatest influence on the dynamics of the magnetic fluid undergoing oscillatory shear and magnetoviscous effect. The results of the work can be used to develop a method for express testing of magnetic fluid samples, as well as to develop acceleration and vibration sensors based on magnetic fluids.
