Hard-magnetic soft composites consist of magneto-active polymers (MAPs) where the fillers
are composed of hard-magnetic (magnetically polarised) particles. These novel …

The magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are novel multifunctional materials wherein
their viscoelastic properties can be varied instantly under an application of applied magnetic …

Our work on rate-independent systems was stimulated by our search for evolutionary
material models for shape-memory alloys that are flexible enough to encompass nonlinear …

Electro-sensitive (ES) elastomers are “smart materials” whose mechanical properties may
be changed significantly by the application of an electric field. In this paper, we provide a …

We first became interested in the interaction between mechanical deformation and magnetic
or electric fields just over 10 years ago. This interest was in part motivated by the …

We develop a reduced-order model for thin plates made of hard magnetorheological
elastomers (hard-MREs), which are composed of hard-magnetic particles embedded in a …

Hard-magnetic soft materials are a class of magneto-active polymers (MAPs) where the
fillers are composed of hard-magnetic (magnetised) particles. These materials present …

Recent studies on magnetically hard, particle-filled magnetorheological elastomers (h-
MREs) have revealed their stretch-independent magnetization response after full pre …

Magnetorheological elastomer composites are a class of smart materials with controllable
deformation by an external magnetic field. Recent studies have shown the feasibility of using …

The numerical modelling of non‐linear electroelasticity is presented in this work. Based on
well‐established basic equations of non‐linear electroelasticity a variational formulation is …
