Integrative Machine Learning Approaches for Predicting the Rheological Behaviour of Soft Magnetorheological Elastomers
Abstract: Magnetorheological Elastomers (MREs) are advanced composite materials known for their ability to alter mechanical properties under external magnetic fields, making them highly valuable in adaptive damping systems, vibration control, and smart devices. The accurate prediction of rheological behavior in soft MREs remains a significant challenge due to the complex interplay between material composition and magnetic fields. To address this challenge, this study employs a multi-pronged approach that integrates traditional material …

Influence of Carbonyl Iron Particle Loading on the Dimensional and Rheological Properties of 4D-Printed TPU-Based Magnetorheological Elastomers
Abstract: The advancement of 4D printing technologies has created new opportunities for fabricating smart materials with tunable properties, including magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). This study investigates the fabrication and characterization of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)-based MREs with varying carbonyl iron particle (CIP) loadings (10–50 wt.%) using the fused filament fabrication (FFF) method. MRE filaments were produced through a solvent-assisted mixing and extrusion process, ensuring consistent diameters within 1.75 ± 0.10 mm. Test specimens …
