片側パターン電極上のERゲル特性に対するせん断速度の影響

抄録

One problem in both the design and application of Electro-rheological (ER) gels is the wiring of the electrodes that must sandwich the ER gel. The use of a patterned electrode on one side only is expected to be a suitable solution for omitting the wiring to the movable electrode using ER gel. We investigated the shear stress produced by ER gel applied to such a patterned electrode during rotational and translational motion with variation of the shear rate.
