Magnetorheological (MR) fluids, foams and elastomers comprise a class of smart materials whose rheological properties may be controlled by the application of an external magnetic field. MR fluids are liquids whose flow or shear properties are easily controlled to enable a variety of unique torque transfer or vibration control devices. MR foams, in which the controllable fluid is contained in an absorptive matrix, provide a convenient way of realizing the benefits of MR fluids in highly cost sensitive applications. MR elastomers are solid, rubber-like materials whose stiffness may be controlled to provide tunable or adjustable mounts and suspension devices. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
