A continuum magneto-mechanical model for magnetorheological elastomers

TL;DR: A review of the latest theoretical advances in the description of magnetomechanical effects and phenomena observed in magnetoactive elastomers (MAEs), i.e., polymer networks filled with magnetic micro-and/or nanoparticles, under the action of external magnetic fields is presented as mentioned in this paper .

TL;DR: In this paper , a 10-parameter micropolar shell formulation is proposed to model the finite elastic deformation of thin hard-magnetic soft structures under magnetic stimuli, which allows for using three-dimensional constitutive laws without any need for modification to apply the plane stress assumption in thin structures.

TL;DR: hMSMs are smart composites with exceptional magneto-mechanical properties that undergo large reversible deformations under external magnetic fields. However, their fabrication and characterization pose challenges due to their multi-phase nature and nonlinear behavior. This review explores fabrication techniques, applications, and modeling approaches for hMSMs.

TL;DR: In this paper, an evolution law was proposed to predict the mechanical behavior of tissues after excessive deformation. But the authors did not consider the effects of deformation on the structural properties of the tissues.

TL;DR: In this article, a new homogenization framework for magnetoelastic composites accounting for the effect of magnetic dipole interactions, as well as finite strains, was proposed, which is capable of handling strongly nonlinear effects associated with finite strains and magnetic saturation of the particles at sufficiently high deformations and magnetic fields, respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, a strain energy function for isotropic incompressible rubbers is proposed, which satisfies all the necessary characteristic properties of an efficient hyperelastic model, and complete analysis of the Mooney plot over a wide range of stretch in extension-compression is carried out.

TL;DR: In this paper, the full system of equations for deformable magneto-sensitive elastomers in an electro-magnetic field is considered and a simple phenomenological model is suggested.

TL;DR: In this article, a stretchable, compressible and magneto-sensitive strain sensor based on conductive magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) containing silver nanowires (AgNWs) dip-coated polyurethane sponge, carbonyl iron particles and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix was investigated.
