Design Performance

Fluid power transmission based on the electro-rheological clutch is taken beyond the concept-proving stage. A typical electro-rheological fluid is characterized over a range of engineering conditions and is found to usefully approximate to a continuum of Bingham plastic form. The clutch is optimized from this standpoint, and the limits of its performance are estimated. The state of the art is discussed alongside an outline of the infrastructure required to achieve maximum potential.
