Shear Thickening Fluid

Shear Thickening Fluid: Case Studies in Engineering provides a set of case studies and research data on the cutting-edge technology of shear thickening fluid (STF) to assist readers with understanding the adaptive behavior of STF in different engineering applications. Various engineering designs are adapted by including STF to take advantage of this smart material in the areas of protective structures, energy-absorbing systems, vibration-damping devices, and surface finishing operations.

A companion volume to the book Shear Thickening Fluid: Theory and Applications, this volume will be a valuable reference for practicing engineers, researchers, and scientists working in advanced materials, smart structures, and intelligent engineering applications.

Provides case studies and research data on shear thickening fluid (STF) Presents state-of-the-art STF technology Examines the adaptive behavior of STF
