Effects of Sub-Zero Temperatures on the Viscoelastic Properties of Magnetorheological Elastomer
Abstract: Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are smart materials capable of tuneable stiffness and damping under applied magnetic fields. This renders the material as a promising candidate for adaptive vibration control and semi-active engineering applications. While their behaviour at elevated temperatures has been widely explored, limited attention has been given to their performance under sub-zero conditions, which are critical for cold-environment applications. As this has become an important concern, the study investigates the …
