TL;DR: An efficient methodology for obtaining hyperelastic material parameters for filled elastomers utilizing unloading curves in uniaxial tension, pure shear and the inflation of a rubber membrane is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a three dimensional viscoplastic constitutive model for finite strains in a co-rotational explicit scheme is developed and implemented using finite elements that capture the amplitude dependency, and it is shown that the model captures the amplitude dependence of the amplitude.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic torsional stiffness model of a magneto-sensitive circular annular rubber bushing is presented where influences of frequency, amplitude and magnetic field dependence are included.

TL;DR: The unique properties of elastomeric materials are taken advantage of in many engineering applications as discussed by the authors, such as shock-surge couplings or mountings between stiff parts, and they are used as couplings and mountings for stiff parts.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the rapidly growing literature on the subject, a discussion around experimentally obtained data on magneto-sensitive rubber, and finally a computer simulation of a MS rubber isolator which seeks to illustrate the utility and great potential of this smart material within the audible frequency range.
