Abstract
A high-speed reciprocating mechanism is described in order to provide the basis of a general investigation into the required properties of electro-rheological fluids and associated materials for use in flexible, inertial mechanisms. The dynamic model of this, when run for realistic existing machine requirements clearly illustrates the need for a fully integrated approach to high speed machinery design. The work sets quantified targets and draws attention to the need for the continuing development of improved electro-rheological fluids which will have high yield stresses with acceptable viscosities and the conditions they must operate under: high shear rates, centrifugal loadings and accelerations.
