Effect of pre-strain on compression mode properties of magnetorheological elastomers

The effects of pre-strain on compression mode dynamic characteristics of both isotropic and aligned magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are experimentally investigated considering wide ranges of particle volume fraction (15%, 30%, and 45%), frequency (1–30 Hz), and magnetic flux density (0–750 mT)...

description The effects of pre-strain on compression mode dynamic characteristics of both isotropic and aligned magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are experimentally investigated considering wide ranges of particle volume fraction (15%, 30%, and 45%), frequency (1–30 Hz), and magnetic flux density (0–750 mT) under different levels of pre-strain (6%, 11%, and 21%). Results exhibited strong dependence of MRE behavior on the pre-strain, which was further coupled with the effects of the particle volume fraction and frequency, and the magnetic field. The elastic and loss moduli of isotropic MREs consistently increased in a nonlinear manner, when pre-strain increased from 6% to 21%, suggesting pre-strain stiffening and pre-strain dampening effects, respectively, while aligned MRE showed dissimilar trends depending on particle volume fraction.
