The paper focuses on the coefficient of friction (COF) of a magnetorheological fluid (MRF) in the wide range of working conditions across all the lubrication regimes-boundary, mixed, elastohydrodynamic (EHD), and hydrodynamic (HD) lubrication, specifically focused on the common working area of MR damper. The coefficient of friction was measured for MR fluids from Lord company with concentrations of 22, 32, and 40 vol. % of iron particles at temperatures 40 and 80 °C. The results were compared with a reference fluid, a synthetic liquid hydrocarbon PAO4 used as a carrier fluid of MRF. The results show that at boundary regime and temperature 40 °C all the fluids exhibit similar COF of 0.11-0.13. Differences can be found in the EHD regime, where the MR fluid COF is significantly higher (0.08) in comparison with PAO4 (0.04). The COF of MR fluid in the HD regime rose very steeply in comparison with PAO4. The effect of particle concentration is significant in the HD regime.

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids can be utilized in one of the fundamental operating modes of which the gradient pinch mode has been the least explored. In this unique mode non-uniform magnetic field distributions are taken advantage of to develop a so-called Venturi-like contraction in MR fluids. By adequately directing magnetic flux the material can be made solidified in the regions near the flow channel wall, thus creating a passage in the middle of the channel for the fluid to pass through.

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are smart materials consisting of magnetic particles in a non-magnetic medium, undergoing phase transitions under a magnetic field to generate yield stress. However, sedimentation and limited particle content hinder their industrial application, balancing high yield stress with stability. This study introduces an innovative MR slurry using Sendust particles, achieving superior yield stress and sedimentation stability compared to traditional systems.

Magnetorheological grease (MRG) is considered a promising alternative to magnetorheological fluids as a smart material because of its higher stability and less leakage. To enhance yield stresses in various applications, graphite is incorporated as an additive, resulting in graphite magnetorheological grease (GMRG). However, the nonlinear hysteresis properties of this new material and its prediction methods have not been investigated.

This review discusses non-pharmacological, non-surgical interventions for action tremor, including essential tremor (ET). We review transcutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), a variety of orthotic/mechanical devices, cooling and vibration strategies, and adaptive utensils, most of which are currently available. The PNS section discusses open loop (CALA-Trio) and closed loop systems (Felix™, NeuroAI™ and Motimove® systems).
