Study on the stiffness and damping properties of magnetorheological elastomers subjected to biaxial loads and a magnetic field by J. Luis Gomez-Color, Luis M. Palacios-Pineda, Imperio A. Perales-Martínez, Oscar Martínez-Romero, Daniel Olvera-Trejo, Claudia A. Ramírez-Herrera, Karina Del Ángel Sánchez, Alex Elías-Zúñiga

“…We discovered that micro-particle alignment in the elastomer matrix, its fractal structure, and the magnetic field modify stiffness and damping properties since the magnetic field restricts the polymer chains' reptation zone, thereby stiffening the polymer matrix and influencing its energy dissipation capacity.Furthermore, we proposed a constitutive material model to predict stress-softening and residual strains when the MRE samples are under biaxial loading-unloading cycles and magnetic field intensity with theoretical predictions that follow experimental data well. …”
