Experimental and numerical study on surface roughness of magnetorheological elastomer for controllable friction by Rui Li, Xi Li, Yuanyuan Li, Ping-an Yang, Jiushan Liu

“…Abstract Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is a type of smart material of which mechanical and electrical properties can be reversibly controlled by the magnetic field. In this study, the influence of the magnetic field on the surface roughness of MRE was studied by the microscopic modeling method, and the influence of controllable characteristics of the MRE surface on its friction properties was analyzed by the macroscopic experimental method. …”
