In this research, the effect of shape parameters such as number of magnet wire turns, spools, thickness of the gap, and pole length in a Magneto-rheological (MR) fluid damper is analytically investigated and the optimization of these parameters is done with response surface method (RSM) which is combined Neuro-Fuzzy method and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. Since the electro-magne...

Motivated by recent experiments on the electro-hydrodynamic instability of spincast polymer films, we study the undulation instability of a thin viscoelastic polymer film under in-plane stress and in the presence of either a close by contactor or an electric field, both inducing a normal stress on the film surface. We find that the in-plane stress affects both the typical timescale of the insta...

This short Feature Article reviews electric stimuli-responsive polymer/clay nanocomposites with respect to their fabrication, physical characteristics and electrorheological (ER) behaviors under applied electric fields when dispersed in oil. Their structural characteristics, morphological features and thermal degradation behavior were examined by X-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron mic...

The main goal of this research is to provide a more detailed investigation of the size-dependent response of magneto-electro-thermo-elastic (METE) nanobeams subjected to propagating wave, ...

Magneto-active polymers (MAPs) consist of a polymeric matrix filled with magnetisable particles. MAPs may change their mechanical properties (i.e., stiffness) and/or deformation upon the application an external magnetic stimulus. Mechanical responses can be understood as combined contributions both and Moreover, response is defined by interaction between particles field. Common approaches to mo...
