A Data‐Driven Multiscale Scheme for Anisotropic Finite Strain Magneto‐Elasticity
ABSTRACT In this work, we develop a neural network‐based, data‐driven, decoupled multiscale scheme for the modeling of structured magnetically soft magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). On the microscale, sampled magneto‐mechanical loading paths are imposed on a representative volume element containing spherical particles and an elastomer matrix, and ...

Transfer of Energy and Momentum Between Magnetoactive Surface Microstructure and a Solid Object
We demonstrate that magnetoactive multilamellar arrays subjected to a rotating magnetic field can function as platforms for controlled transport of physical objects. Through systematic experimental investigation, we elucidate the underlying physical mechanisms determining the upper limit of the achievable transportation speed in such magnetic “conveyor‐

Tunable Properties of Magnetoactive Elastomers for Biomedical Applications
AbstractThe remote controllable magneto-mechanical devices based on MAEs (magnetoactive elastomers) can be obtained through variation of magnetic parameters of MAEs. Such devices can be used as the elements of peristaltic systems, artificial muscles, hyperthermia or drug delivery.
