Abstract

Magnetorheological grease is seen as a promising material for replacing the magnetorheological fluid owing to its higher stability and the lesser production of leakage. As such, it is important that the rheological properties of the magnetorheological grease as a function of a composition are conducted in the modeling studies of a magnetorheological grease model so that its optimum properties, as well as the time and cost reduction in the development process, can be achieved. Therefore, this article had proposed a machine learning method–based simulation model via the extreme learning machine and backpropagation artificial neural network methods for characterizing and predicting the relationship of the magnetorheological grease rheological properties with shear rate, magnetic field, and its compositional elements. The results were then evaluated and compared with a constitutive equation known as the state transition equation. Apart from the shear stress results, where it had demonstrated the extreme learning machine models as having a better performance than the other methods with R 2 more than 0.950 in the training and testing data, the predicted rheological variables such as shear stress, yield stress, and apparent viscosity were also proven to have an agreeable accuracy with the experimental data.
