This paper presents analysis, fabrication and characterization of patterned magnetorheological (MR) elastomers. By taking into account the local magnetic field in MREs and particle interaction magnetic energy, the magnetic-field-dependent mechanical properties of MREs with lattice and BCC structures were theoretically analyzed and numerically simulated. Soft magnetic particles were assembled in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix to fabricate new MR elastomers with uniform lattice and BCC structures, which were observed by a microscope. The field-dependent moduli of the new MR elastomers were characterized by using a parallel-plate MR rheometer. The experimental results agreed well with numerical simulations.
