The magnetic elastomer is bimodal consisting of large magnetic particles and nonmagnetic fine particles. The storage modulus for bimodal magnetic elastomers was altered from 2.2 \u00d7 105 to 1.7 \u00d7 106 Pa by a magnetic field of 500 mT. Compression tests up to a strain of 20% also revealed that the on-field stress for the bimodal magnetic elastomer was 1.24 times higher than the off-field stress. The bimodal magnetic elastomer was synthesized for the mono-link and was mounted on the bogie of a railway vehicle. A running test exhibited that the wheel lateral force was reduced by 20% by applying a magnetic field of 390 mT.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym10121351","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,7]],"date-time":"2018-12-07T03:46:14Z","timestamp":1544154374000},"page":"1351","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Railway Actuator Made of Magnetic Elastomers and Driven by a Magnetic Field"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Yasuhiro","family":"Umehara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Science and Technology, Niigata University, Niigata 950-2181, Japan"},{"name":"Running Gear, Vehicle Structure Technology Division, Railway Technical Research Institute, Tokyo 185-8540, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yusuke","family":"Yamanaga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Running Gear, Vehicle Structure Technology Division, Railway Technical Research Institute, Tokyo 185-8540, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shota","family":"Akama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Science and Technology, Niigata University, Niigata 950-2181, Japan"},{"name":"ALCA, Japan Science and Technology Agency, Tokyo 102-0076, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shunsuke","family":"Kato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Science and Technology, Niigata University, Niigata 950-2181, Japan"},{"name":"ALCA, Japan Science and Technology Agency, Tokyo 102-0076, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shogo","family":"Kamoshita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vehicle Noise and Vibration, Vehicle Structure Technology Division, Railway Technical Research Institute, Tokyo 185-8540, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mika","family":"Kawai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Science and Technology, Niigata University, Niigata 950-2181, Japan"},{"name":"ALCA, Japan Science and Technology Agency, Tokyo 102-0076, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1355-6775","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tetsu","family":"Mitsumata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Science and Technology, Niigata University, Niigata 950-2181, Japan"},{"name":"ALCA, Japan Science and Technology Agency, Tokyo 102-0076, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"075029","DOI":"10.1088\/0964-1726\/22\/7\/075029","article-title":"Soft magnetorheological polymer gels with controllable rheological properties","volume":"22","author":"Xu","year":"2013","journal-title":"Smart Mater.
