Dynamic mechanical properties of isotropic/anisotropic silicon magnetorheological elastomer composites

This study examines the principle of combining isotropic and anisotropic magnetorheological elastomers (MRE) in parallel and series configurations, to adjust the zero-field dynamic stiffness and damping capability of silicon MREs without compromising MR effect. The dynamic mechanical properties can...

Zusammenfassung:This study examines the principle of combining isotropic and anisotropic magnetorheological elastomers (MRE) in parallel and series configurations, to adjust the zero-field dynamic stiffness and damping capability of silicon MREs without compromising MR effect. The dynamic mechanical properties can be further tailored by adjusting the isotropic/anisotropic ratio. Damping of parallel configuration isotropic/anisotropic composites can be increased by combining MREs made with iron particles of small (4-6 m) and large (
