Most of the commercially available magnetorheological (MR) fluids are only tested up to 1200 1/s shear rates but with no magnetic field. Data are rarely available at high shear rates with magnetic field applied. In most of the applications where MR fluids are used, such as MR rotary brakes or MR translational dampers, the shear rates can be in the order of thousands and in some applications, the shear rates could be in the order of ten thousands (1/s) and higher. At these high shear rates, most MR fluids will be shear thinning and Bingham model will be inappropriate to use. The focus of this study is on the mathematical modeling of a drum-type MR rotary brake using the Herschel-Bulkey model.
