Properties and influence of magnetic fields on iron particles of anisotropic magnetorheological elastomers

The magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is an intelligent material whose mechanical properties can be rapidly adjusted under a magnetic flux density. This material’s mechanical properties change due to the interaction between the iron particles inside the material. Understanding the influence of magn...

description The magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is an intelligent material whose mechanical properties can be rapidly adjusted under a magnetic flux density. This material’s mechanical properties change due to the interaction between the iron particles inside the material. Understanding the influence of magnetic flux on iron particles in MRE materials is essential. Studies have proven that the distance and angle of inclination between iron particles significantly affect the magnetic flux density and the interaction force between the particles. Therefore, the distribution of iron particles substantially affects the material’s properties. However, understanding magnetic flux through magnetic particles is necessary to improve the material’s mechanical properties and to design magnetic field systems in systems using the materials. This study maps three problems affecting magnetic flux density to the properties of MRE. First, the mechanical characteristics of the MRE were presented in the frequency, amplitude, magnetic flux density, and magnetic flux inclination domains relative to the particle chain. Next, the influence of the magnetic flux on the particle chain was investigated based on the dipole interaction model and the magnetic force on iron particles. The finite element method also explored the magnetic flux distribution in the MRE material. Finally, the response of the single-degree-of-freedom damping system is tested experimentally. The results show that the influence of the magnetic flux on the iron particles in the MRE material is significant. The research results aim to improve the mechanical properties of MRE materials.
