Experimental characterization and viscoelastic modeling of isotropic and anisotropic magnetorheological elastomers

The paper presents experimental research and numerical modeling of dynamic properties of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). Isotropic and anisotropic MREs have been prepared based on silicone matrix filled by micro-sized carbonyl iron particles. Dynamic properties of the isotropic and anisotropic MREs were determined using double-lap shear test under harmonic loading in the displacement control mode. Effects of excitation frequency, strain...
