ER (electro-rheological) gel is one of functional materials, which adhesive force increases when an electric field is impressed. We aim at development of force display devices which generate rotational and translational resistive forces using ER gel. The way to apply an electric field to ER gel is adopted an one side pattern electrode. One side pattern electrodes need little restriction on the environment except insulant. However, shear stress characteristics of ER gel installed to the one side pattern electrode have not been well known. In this study, we measure shear stress characteristics of ER gel on one side pattern electrode in rotational and translational movement.
