Mechanical properties include elastic modulus, hardness, fatigue, fracture toughness, etc. gives broad idea about the materials to manufacture desired smart materials. The electrical and magnetic phenomena alter the properties of materials must be studied for better prospective in manufacturing. Electro rheological (ER) and magneto rheological (MR) fluids experience a nearly instantaneous change in their rheological properties upon the application of an electric or magnetic field, respectively. This change is reversible and occurs also nearly instantaneously upon the removal of the applied field. The physical changes can be quite substantial, turning a low viscosity fluid into a much more viscous, almost-solid substance.The electro rheological effect occurs in an ER fluid when an electric field is applied causing the uniformly dispersed solid particles to become polarized. Once polarized, they begin to interact with each other, and form chain-like structures, parallel to the electric field direction, connecting the two electrodes.Upon further intensification of the electric field, the chains begin to form thicker columns.A dramatic change in the suspension’s rheological properties is associated with this change in its structure. The columnar particle structures give the fluid a greater yield stress. Upon removing the electric field, the particles lose their polarization and return to their freely roaming state. The period of time over which these events occur is on the order of milliseconds. The magneto rheological effect is similar to the ER effect, but obviously, instead of an electric field, a magnetic field is applied to polarize the particles. ER and MR fluids are mostly considered for use in damping applications. Specific applications include exercise equipment, valve, braking and clutch systems, as well as in vibration control and shock absorbing systems
