A dynamic magneto-viscoelastic interface model is proposed to study the effective magneto-mechanical responses of magnetorheological nanocomposites filled with carbon nanotubes. It is incorporated with the fundamental micromechanics principles, microstructural magnetic and mechanical coupling, and computational homogenization procedures. The field-dependent effective dynamic stiffness and damping of randomly dispersed, chain-structured nanocomposites are investigated with the consideration of imperfect interfacial conditions among nanofillers, micro-particles and the matrix. Comparisons are performed between the model prediction and experimental data for a specific type of Fe particle-reinforced elastomer nanocomposites filled with multi-walled carbon nanotubes to demonstrate the capability of the proposed model framework.
