Magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) are a class of smart magnetic controlled materials whose rheological properties can be controlled by a magnetic field. These materials have advantages of short response time, high dynamic range and low energy consumption. Due to their excellent properties, MRFs have a widely application potential in the field of impact mitigation. As the shear rate dependent viscosity of MRFs is astonishing for the shear thinning effect, thus it is crucial to study the rheological properties cross …
