Abstract

Many particulate suspensions show a dramatic but reversible increase in flow resistance when subjected to an external magnetic or electric field, with the material often modeled as having a field-induced yield stress τ y . Creep tests on a suspension of carbonyl iron particles dispersed in oil under a constant magnetic field reveal that the material will undergo deformation over a prolonged period, even if the applied shear stress is considerably smaller than τ y . This indicates that the rheological behaviour is more complex than can be captured by the current simple constitutive formulations.
