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.
