Squeeze film dampers are novel rotor dynamic devices used to alleviate small amplitude large force vibrations and are used inconjunctionwith antifriction bearings in aircraft jet engine bearings to provide external damping as these possess very little inherentdamping Electrorheological (ER) fluids are controllable fluids in which the rheological properties of the fluid particularly viscositycan be controlled in accordancewith the requirements of the rotor dynamic systemby controlling the intensity of the applied electricfield and this property can be utilized in squeeze film dampers to provide variable stiffness and damping at a particular excitationfrequency The paper investigates the effect of temperature and electric field on the apparent viscosity and dynamic (stiffness anddamping characteristics) of ER fluid (suspension of diatomite in transformer oil) using the available literatureThese characteristicsincrease with the field as the viscosity increases with the field However these characteristics decrease with increase in temperatureand shear strain rate as the viscosity of the fluid decreases with temperature and shear strain rate The temperature is an importantparameter as the aircraft jet engine rotors are located in a zone of high temperature gradients and the damper fluid is susceptibleto large variations in temperature
1 Introduction
Theapplication of controllable fluids in engineering is an areawhich began to be explored in the early 1980s and fluids ofinterest in this study are materials that respond to an appliedelectric field with a remarkable change in its rheologicalbehavior The essential characteristic of these controllablefluids is their capability to change from a liquid state into asolid-like gel under the action of an electric fieldThesemate-rials are commonly called electrorheological (ER) fluids andare normally low-viscosity colloidal suspensions When anelectric field is applied the fluid undergoes a seeminglyreversible transition to a solid in milliseconds being able tosupport considerable stress under static load without yieldWillis MWinslow (1949) was the first to discover an ER fluidand introduced the concept of controlling the apparent vis-cosity of an electroviscous fluid by using an electric field
ER fluids usually consist of a base fluid usually some typeof low viscosity insulating liquid mixed with non-conductiveparticles (in the range of 1ndash10120583m diameter) such as corn-starch gypsum and lithium salt
Since its mechanical properties can be easily controlledwithin a wide range by applied voltage (almost from a pureliquid to a solid) the ER fluid could be used as an electricalandmechanical interface in various industrial areas ER fluidscan be utilized in automobile clutch brake and dampingsystems In a vibratory damping system the fluid is to be ofvariable viscosity which is best satisfied by the applicationof smart fluids (ER and MR fluid) The change in the fieldinduced shear stress produces a change in their apparentviscosity and this property is successfully utilized in applica-tions involving valves dampers clutches and adaptive struc-tures but applications in rotor dynamics are far from sat-isfactory and require considerable attention [1ndash3] Limited

information is available regarding the stiffness and dampingcharacteristics of ER fluid and their applications in activejournal bearings and squeeze film dampers While generalaspects and applications of MR and ER fluids have been dealtwith to some extent [4 5] sharing their promising character-istics it was only in the last decade that some pieces of liter-ature have appeared on rotor dampers [6 7] Since the avail-able literature regarding the effect of temperature on the stiff-ness and damping characteristics of ER Fluid squeeze filmdampers is very scanty this paper investigates these aspectson a short squeeze film damper using the relation obtainedbetween viscosity and temperature for a particular ER fluidwhich is a suspension of diatomite in transformer oil
2 The Herschel-Bulkley Model
The one-dimensional Herschel-Bulkley model is used tomodel the shear thinning of ER fluid in the post-yield regionThe constitutive equation for this model [9] is
120574 = 0 120591 le 120591yd (1a)
120591 = 120591yd sgn ( 120574) + 119870 120574 120591 ge 120591yd (1b)
where 120591 is the shear stress 120574 is the shear strain rate and 120591ydis the dynamic yield stress 119870 and 119899
1are two parameters that
describe themagnitude and slope of the curveThe parameter119870 is sometimes referred to as the ldquoconsistency indexrdquo Theexponent 119899
1is dimensionless and is called the ldquobehavior
indexrdquo Both 119870 and 1198991depend on material properties and
working conditions such as friction and temperatureFor steady shear flow (|120591| gt 120591yd) assume that 120574 gt 0 (1b)
can be written as
120591 = (120591yd + 119870 1205741198991minus1) 120574 (2)
The apparent viscosity thus is
120578app = 119870 1205741198991minus1 (3)
For shear thinning of ER suspensions with 0 lt 1198991lt 1 the
apparent viscosity decreases with the increment of shear rateThe temperature affects both the values 119870 and 119899
1and is res-
ponsible for the variation in the apparent viscosity of the ERfluid
3 Temperature Effect on Viscosity of ER Fluid
Changes in the temperature of ER fluid due to working con-ditions like friction or electrical power dissipation mayinfluence its performance in ER devicesThe temperature de-creases the viscosity of the ER fluid and consequently affectsboth the static and dynamic characteristics of the squeeze filmdamperThe viscosity-temperature relation of the ER Fluid ata particular electric field intensity can be modeled by theexponential decay type Reynolds equation or the Arrheniusequation outlined as (4) and (5) respectively as
120578app (119879) = 1205780exp (minus119861119879) (4)
where 119879 is the temperature and 1205780and 119861 are coefficientsThis
is an empirical model that usually works for a limited rangeof temperatures
120578app (119879) = 1205780exp ( 119864
119877119879) (5)
where 119864 is the activation energy and 119877 is the universal gasconstant A first-order fluid is another name for a power lawfluid with exponential dependence of viscosity on tempera-ture
This can be also be presented as
120578app (119879) = 1205780exp(119861
119879) (6)
where 119861 = 119864119877
4 Stiffness and Damping Characteristics ofSqueeze Film Dampers with Orbital Motion
These squeeze film dampers (Figure 2) find application in theair craft engine rotors and are usually mounted on rolling ele-ment bearings with little or no inherent damping to fight theunbalance response especially at critical speeds and to elim-inate rotor dynamic instabilities The coordinates of the orbitare presented as [10]

61 Effect of Temperature on the Viscosity Stiffness andDamp-ing Characteristics This section presents the effect of tem-perature on the viscosity and dynamic characteristics of thesqueeze filmdamper for the specifications presented in Tables1 2(a) and 2(b)
The effect of temperature on the viscosity for differentstrain rates without the electric field is presented in Figure 2The viscosity decreases with the temperature owing to loos-ening of the fibrillar structures with temperature
Figure 3 indicates the variation of viscosity with tempera-ture with the applied electric field at 25 kVmmThe viscosityis also found to decrease with the strain rate as indicated byFigures 2 and 3 since the ER Fluid is a shear thinning fluid

7 Conclusions
The effect of temperature on the dynamic (stiffness anddamping) characteristics of an ER Fluid short squeeze film
damper is presented in this paper The dynamic coefficientsincreasewith the electric field due to increase in viscositywiththe electric field since it produces fibrillar chains or layerswhich retard the flow of the fluid and consequently increasesthe viscosity However the opposite effect happens at hightemperatures and the fibrillar structures are broken at thistemperature resulting in decreased viscosity These coeffi-cients thus decrease with increase in temperature of the ER

information is available regarding the stiffness and dampingcharacteristics of ER fluid and their applications in activejournal bearings and squeeze film dampers While generalaspects and applications of MR and ER fluids have been dealtwith to some extent [4 5] sharing their promising character-istics it was only in the last decade that some pieces of liter-ature have appeared on rotor dampers [6 7] Since the avail-able literature regarding the effect of temperature on the stiff-ness and damping characteristics of ER Fluid squeeze filmdampers is very scanty this paper investigates these aspectson a short squeeze film damper using the relation obtainedbetween viscosity and temperature for a particular ER fluidwhich is a suspension of diatomite in transformer oil
2 The Herschel-Bulkley Model
The one-dimensional Herschel-Bulkley model is used tomodel the shear thinning of ER fluid in the post-yield regionThe constitutive equation for this model [9] is
120574 = 0 120591 le 120591yd (1a)
120591 = 120591yd sgn ( 120574) + 119870 120574 120591 ge 120591yd (1b)
where 120591 is the shear stress 120574 is the shear strain rate and 120591ydis the dynamic yield stress 119870 and 119899
1are two parameters that
describe themagnitude and slope of the curveThe parameter119870 is sometimes referred to as the ldquoconsistency indexrdquo Theexponent 119899
1is dimensionless and is called the ldquobehavior
indexrdquo Both 119870 and 1198991depend on material properties and
working conditions such as friction and temperatureFor steady shear flow (|120591| gt 120591yd) assume that 120574 gt 0 (1b)
can be written as
120591 = (120591yd + 119870 1205741198991minus1) 120574 (2)
The apparent viscosity thus is
120578app = 119870 1205741198991minus1 (3)
For shear thinning of ER suspensions with 0 lt 1198991lt 1 the
apparent viscosity decreases with the increment of shear rateThe temperature affects both the values 119870 and 119899
1and is res-
ponsible for the variation in the apparent viscosity of the ERfluid
3 Temperature Effect on Viscosity of ER Fluid
Changes in the temperature of ER fluid due to working con-ditions like friction or electrical power dissipation mayinfluence its performance in ER devicesThe temperature de-creases the viscosity of the ER fluid and consequently affectsboth the static and dynamic characteristics of the squeeze filmdamperThe viscosity-temperature relation of the ER Fluid ata particular electric field intensity can be modeled by theexponential decay type Reynolds equation or the Arrheniusequation outlined as (4) and (5) respectively as
120578app (119879) = 1205780exp (minus119861119879) (4)
where 119879 is the temperature and 1205780and 119861 are coefficientsThis
is an empirical model that usually works for a limited rangeof temperatures
120578app (119879) = 1205780exp ( 119864
119877119879) (5)
where 119864 is the activation energy and 119877 is the universal gasconstant A first-order fluid is another name for a power lawfluid with exponential dependence of viscosity on tempera-ture
This can be also be presented as
120578app (119879) = 1205780exp(119861
119879) (6)
where 119861 = 119864119877
4 Stiffness and Damping Characteristics ofSqueeze Film Dampers with Orbital Motion
These squeeze film dampers (Figure 2) find application in theair craft engine rotors and are usually mounted on rolling ele-ment bearings with little or no inherent damping to fight theunbalance response especially at critical speeds and to elim-inate rotor dynamic instabilities The coordinates of the orbitare presented as [10]

119910 = 119890 sin120596119905

119903 = 119881119903= 0
119881119905= 119890120596

Ignoring the stiffness terms the radial and tangential forcesacting on the system are
119865119903= 119862119903119903119881119903+ 119862119903119905119881119905= 119862119903119905120596119890

5 Methodology Proposed
The effect of electric field intensity and temperature onthe theoretical squeeze film dynamic (damping and stiff-ness) characteristics can be obtained using the viscosity-temperature relations [8] using the damper specifications andrelevant ER fluid data outlined in Tables 1 2(a) and 2(b)respectively
6 Results and Discussions
The theoretical results are discussed under two headings
(a) effect of temperature on the viscosity and dynamiccharacteristics (stiffness and damping characteris-tics)
(b) effect of electric field intensity and shear strain rateon the viscosity and dynamic characteristics (stiffnessand damping characteristics)

61 Effect of Temperature on the Viscosity Stiffness andDamp-ing Characteristics This section presents the effect of tem-perature on the viscosity and dynamic characteristics of thesqueeze filmdamper for the specifications presented in Tables1 2(a) and 2(b)
The effect of temperature on the viscosity for differentstrain rates without the electric field is presented in Figure 2The viscosity decreases with the temperature owing to loos-ening of the fibrillar structures with temperature
Figure 3 indicates the variation of viscosity with tempera-ture with the applied electric field at 25 kVmmThe viscosityis also found to decrease with the strain rate as indicated byFigures 2 and 3 since the ER Fluid is a shear thinning fluid

However it should be noticed that the viscosity increases bymany orders under the action of the field
The constants 1205780and 119861 of the temperature- viscosity
model of the ER fluid (using either the Reynolds equation orthe Arrhenius equation as outlined in (4) and (5) resp) arepresented in Table 3
The effect of temperature on the direct stiffness directdamping and cross-coupled damping coefficients are pre-sented through Figures 4(a) 4(b) 5(a) 5(b) 6(a) and 6(b)
for electric field intensities of 0 kVmm and 25 kVmm Thedynamic coefficients decrease with temperature in accor-dance with (4) and (5) respectively

7 Conclusions
The effect of temperature on the dynamic (stiffness anddamping) characteristics of an ER Fluid short squeeze film
damper is presented in this paper The dynamic coefficientsincreasewith the electric field due to increase in viscositywiththe electric field since it produces fibrillar chains or layerswhich retard the flow of the fluid and consequently increasesthe viscosity However the opposite effect happens at hightemperatures and the fibrillar structures are broken at thistemperature resulting in decreased viscosity These coeffi-cients thus decrease with increase in temperature of the ER

5 Methodology Proposed
The effect of electric field intensity and temperature onthe theoretical squeeze film dynamic (damping and stiff-ness) characteristics can be obtained using the viscosity-temperature relations [8] using the damper specifications andrelevant ER fluid data outlined in Tables 1 2(a) and 2(b)respectively
6 Results and Discussions
The theoretical results are discussed under two headings
(a) effect of temperature on the viscosity and dynamiccharacteristics (stiffness and damping characteris-tics)
(b) effect of electric field intensity and shear strain rateon the viscosity and dynamic characteristics (stiffnessand damping characteristics)

61 Effect of Temperature on the Viscosity Stiffness andDamp-ing Characteristics This section presents the effect of tem-perature on the viscosity and dynamic characteristics of thesqueeze filmdamper for the specifications presented in Tables1 2(a) and 2(b)
The effect of temperature on the viscosity for differentstrain rates without the electric field is presented in Figure 2The viscosity decreases with the temperature owing to loos-ening of the fibrillar structures with temperature
Figure 3 indicates the variation of viscosity with tempera-ture with the applied electric field at 25 kVmmThe viscosityis also found to decrease with the strain rate as indicated byFigures 2 and 3 since the ER Fluid is a shear thinning fluid

119864 = 0 kVmm and 25 kVmm respectively The viscosity in-creases by many orders on the application of the field anddecreases with increase in the shear strain rate as envisagedin these diagrams
The effect of electric field on the dynamic characteristicsof the ER damper are presented for temperatures 20∘C and60∘C with and without the electric field through
Figures 8 9 and 10 as a function of the shear strain rate Allthe dynamic characteristics show identical behavior and in-crease with the electric field through Figures 8 9 and 10respectively as is apparent from these plots However thesecharacteristics decrease with temperature as can be seenthrough Figures 8 9 and 10 respectively for 20∘C and 60∘Ctemperatures However the dynamic characteristics decrease

7 Conclusions
The effect of temperature on the dynamic (stiffness anddamping) characteristics of an ER Fluid short squeeze film
damper is presented in this paper The dynamic coefficientsincreasewith the electric field due to increase in viscositywiththe electric field since it produces fibrillar chains or layerswhich retard the flow of the fluid and consequently increasesthe viscosity However the opposite effect happens at hightemperatures and the fibrillar structures are broken at thistemperature resulting in decreased viscosity These coeffi-cients thus decrease with increase in temperature of the ER

5 Methodology Proposed
The effect of electric field intensity and temperature onthe theoretical squeeze film dynamic (damping and stiff-ness) characteristics can be obtained using the viscosity-temperature relations [8] using the damper specifications andrelevant ER fluid data outlined in Tables 1 2(a) and 2(b)respectively
6 Results and Discussions
The theoretical results are discussed under two headings
(a) effect of temperature on the viscosity and dynamiccharacteristics (stiffness and damping characteris-tics)
(b) effect of electric field intensity and shear strain rateon the viscosity and dynamic characteristics (stiffnessand damping characteristics)

61 Effect of Temperature on the Viscosity Stiffness andDamp-ing Characteristics This section presents the effect of tem-perature on the viscosity and dynamic characteristics of thesqueeze filmdamper for the specifications presented in Tables1 2(a) and 2(b)
The effect of temperature on the viscosity for differentstrain rates without the electric field is presented in Figure 2The viscosity decreases with the temperature owing to loos-ening of the fibrillar structures with temperature
Figure 3 indicates the variation of viscosity with tempera-ture with the applied electric field at 25 kVmmThe viscosityis also found to decrease with the strain rate as indicated byFigures 2 and 3 since the ER Fluid is a shear thinning fluid

7 Conclusions
The effect of temperature on the dynamic (stiffness anddamping) characteristics of an ER Fluid short squeeze film
damper is presented in this paper The dynamic coefficientsincreasewith the electric field due to increase in viscositywiththe electric field since it produces fibrillar chains or layerswhich retard the flow of the fluid and consequently increasesthe viscosity However the opposite effect happens at hightemperatures and the fibrillar structures are broken at thistemperature resulting in decreased viscosity These coeffi-cients thus decrease with increase in temperature of the ER

fluid They also decrease with the shear strain rate as theviscosity decreases with shear strain rate For a particulardamper configuration these coefficients increase with de-crease in clearance increase in 119871119863 ratio and eccentricityratio

However it should be noticed that the viscosity increases bymany orders under the action of the field
The constants 1205780and 119861 of the temperature- viscosity
model of the ER fluid (using either the Reynolds equation orthe Arrhenius equation as outlined in (4) and (5) resp) arepresented in Table 3
The effect of temperature on the direct stiffness directdamping and cross-coupled damping coefficients are pre-sented through Figures 4(a) 4(b) 5(a) 5(b) 6(a) and 6(b)
for electric field intensities of 0 kVmm and 25 kVmm Thedynamic coefficients decrease with temperature in accor-dance with (4) and (5) respectively

119864 = 0 kVmm and 25 kVmm respectively The viscosity in-creases by many orders on the application of the field anddecreases with increase in the shear strain rate as envisagedin these diagrams
The effect of electric field on the dynamic characteristicsof the ER damper are presented for temperatures 20∘C and60∘C with and without the electric field through
Figures 8 9 and 10 as a function of the shear strain rate Allthe dynamic characteristics show identical behavior and in-crease with the electric field through Figures 8 9 and 10respectively as is apparent from these plots However thesecharacteristics decrease with temperature as can be seenthrough Figures 8 9 and 10 respectively for 20∘C and 60∘Ctemperatures However the dynamic characteristics decrease

7 Conclusions
The effect of temperature on the dynamic (stiffness anddamping) characteristics of an ER Fluid short squeeze film
damper is presented in this paper The dynamic coefficientsincreasewith the electric field due to increase in viscositywiththe electric field since it produces fibrillar chains or layerswhich retard the flow of the fluid and consequently increasesthe viscosity However the opposite effect happens at hightemperatures and the fibrillar structures are broken at thistemperature resulting in decreased viscosity These coeffi-cients thus decrease with increase in temperature of the ER

7 Conclusions
The effect of temperature on the dynamic (stiffness anddamping) characteristics of an ER Fluid short squeeze film
damper is presented in this paper The dynamic coefficientsincreasewith the electric field due to increase in viscositywiththe electric field since it produces fibrillar chains or layerswhich retard the flow of the fluid and consequently increasesthe viscosity However the opposite effect happens at hightemperatures and the fibrillar structures are broken at thistemperature resulting in decreased viscosity These coeffi-cients thus decrease with increase in temperature of the ER
