Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are composites where magnetic particles are suspended in a non-magnetic solid or a gel-like matrix. MREs are shown to have a controllable, field-dependent shear modulus. Most of conventional MREs models are based on magnetic dipole interactions between two adjacent particles of the chain. These models can predict the field-dependent properties of MREs with simple chain-like structures. In this paper, an effective permeability model is proposed to predict the field-induced modulus of MREs. Based on the effective permeability rule and taking into account the particle’s saturation, the model is proposed to predict the mechanical performances of MREs with …
