Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is a kind of magnetorheological materials

its unique solid properties give it excellent mechanical properties. Researchers have successively studied the mechanical properties

mechanical models

electrical-magnetic properties of MRE

including theoretical model analysis

numerical simulation analysis

test data comparison

force-electromagnetic coupling analysis

etc. This paper introduces the latest research status of mechanical properties of MRE

including shear properties

tensile and compressive properties

micro and macro mechanical property models

and the practical applications of MRE in aerospace

biomedicine

civil engineering and mechanical engineering. Finally

the development potential and challenges of MRE are prospected.
