Modeling of magnetorheological elastomers
Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are composite materials whose mechanical properties can rapidly and reversibly change with the application of a magnetic field. MREs are composed of a non-magnetic polymer matrix embedded with magnetic particles. These materials can also demonstrate …

Magnetic and Mechanical Properties of Ultrasoft Magnetorheological Elastomers
<p>Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs), composite materials consisting of magnetic particles embedded in a non-magnetic elastomeric matrix, can reversibly modulate their mechanical and magnetic properties through tuning the applied magnetic field <em>H</em>. Recently, ultrasoft MREs have received …

Magneto-elastic behavior in hard- and soft-MRE's including demagnetizing effects
… studies the magnetic and mechanical behavior of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) based on four possible permutations defined along particle alignment (Aligned and Unaligned) and magnetization (Hard- or Soft-magnetic) pairs. These pairs designations yield classes A-H, U-H, A-S and U-S. The …

Design tools and predictions for nonlinear elastic solids in soft machine design
… machines (Chapter 3). We study the behavior of magnetorheological elastomers (MRE's), and specifically the effect that nonlinearity and softness have on the variable shear stiffness response of MRE's. We find surprising results, where a higher degree of nonlinearity can either stiffen or soften …
