Numerical Investigation on Suppressing High Frequency Self-Excited Noises of Armature Assembly in a Torque Motor Using Ferrofluid by Hasiaoqier Han, Songjing Li, Liang Guo, Qingwen Wu

“…The mathematical model of resistance force of ferrofluid applied to armature is derived theoretically from parallel plate squeeze flow theory and ferrofluid constitutive model in which shear thickening and shear thinning effects are taken into account. Then the equivalent physical model of ferrofluid is established according to the resistance force, and, through analysis, it can be further simplified as viscous damping model. …”

Uniformity of thickness of metal sheets by patchwork blanks: potential of adhesive bonding by Gillo Giuliano, Gianluca Parodo, Luca Sorrentino

“…Specifically, the methodology is based on the bonding of a patch (before the deformation process), on the base plate with a constant thickness, in the area that most suffers from the thinning caused by the forming process. In this way, it was possible to influence the deformation of the patchwork blank and its thicknesses distribution. …”
