Abstract
Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are smart materials where polarized particles are suspended in a non-magnetic solid or gel-like matrix. Two kinds of MREs, namely anisotropic and isotropic, are fabricated either under a magnetic field or without a field [1,2]. In anisotropic MREs, polarised particles are arranged in chains within a polymer media such as silicon rubber or natural rubber. The shear modulus of MRE can be controlled by the external magnetic field, which has led to many applications, such as tuned vibration absorbers, dampers and sensors
