In this study the optimum topology distribution of the magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) layer in an adaptive sandwich plate is investigated. The adaptive sandwich plate consists of an MR elastomer layer embedded between two thin elastic plates. A finite element model has been first formulated to derive the governing equations of motion. A design optimiz ...

Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are a class of smart materials with rubber-like qualities, demonstrating revertible magnetic field-dependent viscoelastic properties, which makes them an ideal candidate for development of the next generation of adaptive vibration absorbers. This research study aims at the development of a finite element model using mi ...

In recent years, magnetoactive soft continuum robots (MSCRs) with multimodal locomotion capabilities have emerged for various biomedical applications. Developments in nonlinear dynamic models and effective control methods for MSCRs are deemed vital not only to gain a better understanding of their coupled magneto-mechanical behavior but also to accurately ...

This paper presents an optimal design of a large-capacity Magnetorheological (MR) damper suitable for off-road vehicle applications. The damper includes an MR fluid bypass valve with both annular and radial gaps to generate a large damping force and dynamic range. An analytical model of the proposed damper is formulated based on the Bingham plastic model ...

This study aims to enhance and tune wave-propagation properties (Bandgaps) of periodic structures featuring magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). For this purpose, first, a basic model of periodic structures (square unit cell with cross-shaped arms), which does not possess noise filtering properties in the conventional configuration, is considered. A pass ...
