Abstract
This study focuses on the stiffness controllability of
magneto-rheological elastomer (MRE) but
also on the damping dependency with the magnetic field.
It is well known that elastomer visco-elastic behavior is
highlighted by elliptic hysteresis loops.
Force-deflection loops of MRE were measured for different
amplitudes and frequencies conditions. It results
rectangular shape hysteresis loops. Hence, it has to be
wondered which dissipation mechanisms are present in
addition to the viscous in the MRE. The aim of this study
is to have a better understanding of the working
principles of MRE in order to evaluate their ability to
be used for innovative solutions in damping and stiffness
variation devices. This knowledge will confirm or
re-orientate, based on the outputs, the applicability of
MRE's to Space applications.
