Various devices and equipment using ER effects have been developed and studied. When an ER fluid is used in shear mode, the ER fluid is filled between a pair of opposing parallel electrodes. We have proposed one-sided pattern electrodes that have many advantages. In this paper, four kinds of composition of electrodes including the both-sided electrodes and one-sided electrodes are considered. The electric fields are analyzed. The manifestation of ER effects is experimentally verified in four kinds of composition.
