Abstract:This work uses a fatigue testing machine to conduct the damping moment response of the torsional shear thickened fluid (STF) damper (T-STF-D) under different loading velocities. First, three STF samples were prepared based on nano-silica and polyethylene glycol, and a rheometer verified the shear thickening properties of STF samples. Secondly, based on the parallel plate theory, the theoretical model of T-STF-D is established, and the model's validity is verified based on the experimental data. Finally, a prot… Show more
