Limit points in the free inflation of a magnetoelastic toroidal membrane [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
One common phenomenon native to inflation of membranes is the elastic limit-point instability–a bifurcation point at which the membrane begins to deform enormously at the slightest increase of pressure.

A nonlinear theory for fibre-reinforced magneto-elastic rods

open access: yes, 2017
We derive a model for the finite motion of a magneto-elastic rod reinforced with isotropic (spherical) or anisotropic (ellipsoidal) inclusions. The particles are assumed weakly and uniformly magnetised, rigid and firmly embedded into the elastomeric ...

Magneto-Mechanical Coupling in Magneto-Active Elastomers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
In the present work, the magneto-mechanical coupling in magneto-active elastomers is investigated from two different modeling perspectives: a micro-continuum and a particle–interaction approach.

Soft Magnetoactive Laminates:Large Deformations, Transverse Elastic Waves and Band Gaps Tunability by a Magnetic Field [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We investigate the behavior of soft magnetoactive periodic laminates under remotely applied magnetic field. We derive explicit formulae for the induced deformation due to magnetic excitation of the laminates with hyperelastic magnetoactive phases.

Topology and Material Optimization in Ultra‐Soft Magneto‐Active Structures: Making Advantage of Residual Anisotropies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Residual magnetization induces pronounced mechanical anisotropy in ultra‐soft magnetorheological elastomers, shaping deformation and actuation even without external magnetic fields. This study introduces a computational‐experimental framework integrating magneto‐mechanical coupling into topology optimization for designing soft magnetic actuators with ...
