Equi-biaxial tension tests on magneto-rheological elastomers [PDF]

Smart Materials and Structures, 2015
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 and without the application of an external magnetic field.

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.
