Abstract

This paper investigates the magnetic field generated by an electromagnetic array and whether it
is suitable for the physical testing of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) using bubble inflation. This will be achieved by comparing the magnetic field generated by the array with the simulated field calculated by an FEA model. The array will be evaluated with detailed measurements of the magnetic flux strength and direction over the entire sample volume. The magnetic flux versus the time the array is powered in order to ensure it is capable of providing a reliable magnetic field for the duration of a biaxial fatigue test of an MRE.
