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 …

Rheological behaviour analysis of prepared nano-cutting fluids from Al2O3 and TiO2
Abstract: In this research paper, an attempt has been made to characterize and analyse the rheological properties of two samples of nano-cutting fluids. Nanoparticles of Al2O3 and TiO2 were characterized by SEM and EDS. The high peaks showed the respective presence of aluminium, oxygen for alumina and titanium and oxygen for titanium dioxide. The two samples of nano-cutting fluids were prepared. Alpha alumina, α-Al2O3 nanoparticles were used for the preparation of …

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 …

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 …

Temperature-Dependent Viscoelastic Response of Magnetorheological Grease with Varying Particle Shapes
Abstract: This study examines the effect of temperatures on the magnetic and rheological properties of magnetorheological greases (MRGs) comprised of different particle shapes, under oscillatory shear mode test. Two samples were prepared with 70 wt.% flake-shaped electrolytic iron particles (EIP) and spherical carbonyl iron particles (CIP) which dispersed in 30 wt.% lithium-based grease, separately. Respective to magnetic properties test, the vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) revealed that MRG-EIP exhibited 11.4% higher magnetic …
