Abstract

Magnetorheological (MR) materials are smart materials that can change their rheological characteristics when exposed to a magnetic field. Such rheological properties include viscosity and dynamic modulus. MR materials have emerged as one of the most efficient smart materials that can modify mechanical and viscoelastic characteristics. Depending on the medium used, MR materials can be classified into two types: magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) and magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). MREs are classified as isotropic or anisotropic based on CIP distribution inside the elastomer matrix. A unique hybrid material incorporating MRE and MRF is constructed in this work to investigate, compare, and the dynamic properties of isotropic, anisotropic, hybrid isotropic, and hybrid anisotropic MREs under various magnetic fields (0, 104, and 160.2 mT). The created samples are subjected to extensive testing, including static and dynamic evaluations. In the static tests, experiments use a compression linear displacement mode with a fixed maximum gap change of 3 mm. The temperature is maintained at a constant level of 24 degrees C throughout the 40 s test duration for each test, and the magnetic field is incrementally increased by varying the number of magnets, ranging from 0 to 160.2 mT for dynamic qualities using compression oscillations on a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA), including frequency and strain-dependent data. These experiments, carried out using sinusoidal shear movements, include an excitation frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 15 Hz while preserving, with a fixed shear strain of 2%.
