By comparing experiments for two-, three- and four-particle systems with the results of finite element simulations, a fully coupled continuum model for magneto-active elastomers is validated with the help of real data for the first time. The model under consideration permits the investigation of magneto-active elastomers with arbitrary particle distances, shapes and volume fractions as well as magnetic and mechanical properties of the individual constituents. It thus represents a basis for future studies on more complex, realistic systems. Our results show a very good agreement between experiments and numerical simulations—the deformation behavior of all systems is captured by the model qualitatively as well as quantitatively. Within a sensitivity analysis, the influence of the initial particle positions on the systems' response is examined. Furthermore, a comparison of the full three-dimensional model with the often used, simplified two-dimensional approach shows the typical overestimation of resulting interactions in magneto-active elastomers.}, language = {en} } @misc{ChavezVegaBoehmYinetal., author = {Chavez Vega, Jhohan Harvey and B{\"o}hm, Valter and Yin, J. and Becker, Tatiana I. and K{\"o}hring, Sebastian and Monkman, Gareth J. and Odenbach, Stefan and Zimmermann, Klaus}, title = {Field induced plasticity of magneto-sensitive elastomers for gripping technology applications}, series = {6th Colloquium of SPP 1681, Benediktbeuern, 26. - 28.09.2018 : Book of Abstracts}, journal = {6th Colloquium of SPP 1681, Benediktbeuern, 26. - 28.09.2018 : Book of Abstracts}, pages = {16 -- 17}, language = {en} } @article{MonkmanSindersbergerPrem, author = {Monkman, Gareth J. and Sindersberger, Dirk and Prem, Nina}, title = {Magnetically enhanced photoconductive high voltage control}, series = {ISSS Journal of Micro and Smart Systems}, volume = {11}, journal = {ISSS Journal of Micro and Smart Systems}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, doi = {10.1007/s41683-021-00088-z}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:898-opus4-30606}, pages = {317 -- 328}, abstract = {The recent surge of interest in electrostatic actuators, particularly for soft robotic applications, has placed increasing demands on high voltage control technology.

This article utilizes a range of spectroscopic analysis methods (Raman and FTIR) and their applicability to MAP characterization at wavelengths ranging from 2.5 to 25 mu m. Particular attention is paid to low carbonyl iron particle (CIP) concentrations in MAP for which the emergence of capillary doublets at a critical 2 wt\% concentration is revealed.

The field of elastic imaging has grown in response to the Potential use of such information in medical diagnosis. Real time ultrasound elastography represents a recent development in determining strain and elasticity distributions. Nevertheless, commonly used imaging techniques rely on the interpretation of two dimensional visual data displayed on a video screen. In reality however, physicians often prefer tactile exploration making the simultaneous portrayal of both video and haptic information most desirable. Since the 1970's many alphanumeric to tactile data conversion methods have been investigated, mainly with the ultimate aim of assisting the blind. More recently, interest has been directed toward the display of pictures on haptically explorable surfaces - Tactile imaging. Such a system would allow surgeons to examine hard sectors contained within soft tissue, and thereby assist in operations held remotely. The expansion of ultrasound elastography to 3D formats would mean the ability to haptically explore regions of the body normally inaccessible to human hands. For three-dimensional imaging the acquisition of sequential tomographic slices using Elastography, combined with image segmentation, enables the reconstruction, quantification and visualisation of tumour volumes. In a collaborative project between four research Institutes, the aim is to produce a prototype three dimensional tactile displays comprising electrically switchable micromachined cells, whose mechanical moduli are governed by phase changes experienced by electrorheological and/or magnetorheological fluids.
