Fabrication and Mechanical Properties Study of the Magnetorheological Elastomer

Abstract:

Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is a novel kind of magnetorheological materials and has been successfully used to control the structure vibration due to its property of variable stiffness under different magnetic field. In order to improve the properties of MRE, it urgently needs to investigate the preparation methods of MRE and build a corresponding test system to evaluate the performance of MRE in different operating modes. In this paper, different magnetic devices for preparing MRE were studied and designed, and the material was fabricated by the permanent magnets with additional permeability equipment at last. Then, according to the SDOF principle, a novel test system was built in order to investigate the mechanical properties of MRE, and exact close-form expressions of the stiffness, loss factor and other mechanical parameters of MRE, under different magnetic field, have been calculated to analyze the properties of MRE.
