MR fluid, foam and elastomer devices
J. David Carlson,Mark R. Jolly +1 more
TL;DR: Magnetorheological (MR) fluids, foams and elastomers comprise a class of smart materials whose rheological properties may be controlled by the application of an external magnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of the behaviour of magnetorheological materials
TL;DR: In this paper, a quasi-static, one-dimensional model is developed that examines the mechanical and magnetic properties of magnetorheological materials, and the model attempts to account for magnetic nonlinearities and saturation by establishing a mechanism by which magnetic flux density is distributed within the composite material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model of magnetorheological elastomers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used finite element analysis to show that the shear modulus of typical elastomers is about 50% of the zero-field modulus at saturation and the optimum particle volume fraction for the largest fractional change in modulus is predicted to be 27%.

Performance of isotropic magnetorheological rubber materials
Mattias Lokander,Bengt Stenberg +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that MR rubber materials with large irregular particles have a large MR effect although the particles are not aligned within the material, which is explained by the low critical particle volume concentration of such particles.

Field dependence of viscoelastic properties of mr elastomers
C. Bellan,Georges Bossis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a magnetoactive elastomer made of micronic carbonyl iron particles, structured in elongated clusters, was studied under traction both in static and dynamic modes and the shape of the stress-strain curves were explained by taking into account the existence of a fiber-like structure.
