Mechanical response of elastomers to magnetic fields
- Lord Corporation, Cary, NC (United States)
Elastomeric materials represent an important class of engineering materials, which are widely used to make components of structures, machinery, and devices for vibration and noise control. Elastomeric materials possessing conductive or magnetic properties are used in applications such as conductive and magnetic tapes, sensors, flexible permanent magnets, etc. Our interest in these materials has focused on understanding and controlling the magnitude and directionality of their mechanical response to applied magnetic fields. This presentation will discuss the control of mechanical properties and mathematical modeling of the new materials prepared in our laboratories along with experiments to achieve adaptive vibration control using the new materials. Such controllable elastomers promise to have more functionality than conventional elastomers and therefore could be a link that brings the applications of modern control technologies, intelligent structures, and smart materials to a very broad industrial area.
