Title Elongated micro-structures in magneto-sensitive elastomers: A dipolar mean field model
Date 01.12.2016
Number 51382
Abstract Based on a dipole model for the mutual magnetic interactions among the magnetizable micro-particles in magneto-sensitive elastomers we develop a mean field approach to describe the arrangement of these particles into elongated micro-structures. If these micro-structures are oriented parallel to an external magnetic field the present approach provides an efficient calculation of the behavior of such samples, which is a result of the interplay between micro-structure and shape effects. Accordingly, we are able to draw comprehensive phase diagrams for the resultant deformation and predict for very oblate samples a discontinuous shape change in the presence of a homogeneous external field.
