(color online) Selected curves of τ(t) (blue) varying with time under triangle electric field E(t) in between −4 kV/mm and +4 kV/mm (red) of (a) f = 0.2 Hz, (b) f = 5 Hz, (c) f = 20 Hz, and (d) f = 100 Hz for CTO based PM-ER fluid (left column). Right column shows the corresponding relations of shear stress versus field strength for all measured curves. Insets show the enlarged curve of τ(t) versus E(t) of triangle wave.
