Abstract: The dynamic shear modulus of magnetosensitive (MS) natural rubber composites is experimentally studied, where influences of carbon black, plasticiser and iron particle concentrations are investigated at various dynamic shear strain amplitudes and external magnetic fields within the lower structure borne frequency range. The iron particles embedded in natural rubber are irregularly shaped and randomly distributed; the plasticisers simplify the iron particle blending process, while carbon black reduces the production costs and improves the mechanical properties. The results show that the relative MS effect on the shear modulus magnitude increases with increased plasticiser and iron particle concentration and decreases with increased carbon black concentration. Furthermore, their relative contributions are quantified. Consequently, the study provides a basis for optimising the composition of MS natural rubber to meet a variety of requirements, including those of vibration isolation, a promising appli...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the analysis of new trends and recent results carried out during the last 10 years in the field of fractional calculus application to dynamic problems of solid mechanics.
Abstract: The present state-of-the-art article is devoted to the analysis of new trends and recent results carried out during the last 10 years in the field of fractional calculus application to dynamic problems of solid mechanics. This review involves the papers dealing with study of dynamic behavior of linear and nonlinear 1DOF systems, systems with two and more DOFs, as well as linear and nonlinear systems with an infinite number of degrees of freedom: vibrations of rods, beams, plates, shells, suspension combined systems, and multilayered systems. Impact response of viscoelastic rods and plates is considered as well. The results obtained in the field are critically estimated in the light of the present view of the place and role of the fractional calculus in engineering problems and practice. This articles reviews 337 papers and involves 27 figures. DOI: 10.1115/1.4000563
