Experimental and numerical study on surface roughness of magnetorheological elastomer for controllable friction by Rui Li, Xi Li, Yuanyuan Li, Ping-an Yang, Jiushan Liu

“…Abstract Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is a type of smart material of which mechanical and electrical properties can be reversibly controlled by the magnetic field. In this study, the influence of the magnetic field on the surface roughness of MRE was studied by the microscopic modeling method, and the influence of controllable characteristics of the MRE surface on its friction properties was analyzed by the macroscopic experimental method. …”

Mathematical Frameworks for Network Dynamics: A Six-Pillar Survey for Analysis, Control, and Inference by Dimitri Volchenkov

“…However, the methodological landscape remains fragmented, with distinct communities advancing separate formalisms for spreading, control, inference, and design. This review presents a unifying six-pillar framework for the analysis of network dynamics: (i) spectral and structural foundations; (ii) deterministic mean-field reductions; (iii) control and observability theory; (iv) adaptive and temporal networks; (v) probabilistic inference and belief propagation; (vi) multilayer and interdependent systems. …”
