2 Some Possible Applications of ER Fluid

2.1 Valves

One interesting application of ER fluids is using them as valves. In this case, the ER fluids may be used as a substitute for hydraulics oil. At present some laboratory experiments have been performed to obtain the steady state and dynamic behavior of ER valves. A typical ER valve is shown in Fig. 8.2. It can be made of two concentric cylinders. The high voltage is connected to the inner and outer cylinders.
