Experimental study was conduted on rheological characteristics of an electrorheological fluid (ER fluid) with elastic particles which is made of smectite as one of new typed colloidal ER fluid in the rotaing flow in an applying electic field. The rotating flows of the viscometer which was operated within electric field were made by two types of concentric rotating cylinder and a rotating disk. The experimental data were estimated with the theory with taking into account the elatisity of the particles. The difference of the effect of electric field strength and shear rate in the two types of rotating flow was clarified.
