Abstract

Vibration damping is a challenging issue in engineering structures. In recent years, shear thickening fluid (STF) has emerged as a promising material for smart vibration damping applications. Non-Newtonian rheology of STF provides adaptive damping properties for smart applications. In this chapter, non-Newtonian rheology of STF is explained as well as discussing vibration damping behavior of STF. Moreover, a case study of STF-integrated structures is presented for better understanding the vibration damping properties. Due to its non-Newtonian rheology, STF is a good candidate in adaptive damping applications.
