Micromechanical analysis on anisotropy of structured magneto-rheological elastomer

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2015
This paper investigates the equivalent elastic modulus of structured magneto-rheological elastomer (MRE) in the absence of magnetic field. We assume that both matrix and ferromagnetic particles are linear elastic materials, and ferromagnetic particles are embedded in matrix with layer-like structure.

Miniaturized 3D Magnetic Force Sensor via Laser‐Assisted Folding and Magnetization for Enhanced Robotic Dexterity

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 29, 22 May 2026.
To achieve 3D force sensing in confined spaces such as fingertips, we developed a laser‐assisted folding and magnetization method to fabricate miniature films with precise centripetal magnetization. The resulting compact sensor delivers high force resolution, rapid response, and long‐term stability, significantly enhancing the manipulation capabilities
