| Abstract | Certain fluids exhibit an increase in flow resistance when subjected to an electric field. This electroviscous response, known as the Winslow effect, has been the basis for development of a unique control medium. Applying a strong potential across the fluid causes it to "stiffen", even to the point of ceasing to flow; this provides a valve action. Contained herein, is an analysis of a hydraulic system which employs the valving technique described above. A mathematical model of the so-called "electrohydraulic valve" is incorporated into the system through the use of hydraulic-electrical analogues. Requiring that the model describe linear operation, the system is reduced to an equivalent circuit; for relatively small signal variations, a method is realized for investigating system characteristics. |
