Energy conversion in magneto-rheological elastomers [PDF]
Magneto-rheological (MR) elastomers contain micro-/nano-sized ferromagnetic particles dispersed in a soft elastomer matrix, and their rheological properties (storage and loss moduli) exhibit a significant dependence on the application of a magnetic field

Equi-biaxial tension tests on magneto-rheological elastomers [PDF]
A bespoke test rig has been designed to facilitate testing of magneto-rheological (MR) elastomers (MREs) under equi-biaxial tension using a standard universal test machine. Tests were performed up to 10% strain on both isotropic and anisotropic MREs with

Magnetic-Driven Viscous Mechanisms in Ultra-Soft Magnetorheological Elastomers Offer History-Dependent Actuation with Reprogrammability Options. [PDF]
Magnetically induced microstructural rearrangements in ultra‐soft magnetorheological elastomers modulate their viscoelasticity, enabling programmable mechanical memory. Magnetic actuation induces long‐term viscous relaxation and double‐bumping stress responses due to particle chain formation.

Towards a thermo-magneto-mechanical coupling framework for magneto-rheological elastomers [PDF]
Abstract Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are a relatively new class of smart materials that can undergo large deformations resulting from external magnetic excitation. These are promising candidates in producing sensors and actuators. Due to their inherent chemical compositions, most polymeric materials are highly susceptible to temperature ...

Optimization of magneto-rheological elastomers for energy harvesting applications [PDF]
Recent works demonstrated the abilities of magneto rheological elastomers (MREs) for mechanical to electrical energy conversion. This class of materials consists of composites composed of a soft elastic matrix filled by ferromagnetic particles. In this work we focus primarily on anisotropic MREs featuring particles that are non-homogenously dispersed ...
