Abstract

A simple rheological model is introduced to describe the plasticity in soft magnetic elastomers induced by an external field. In addition to the elasticity of the polymer matrix, the effect of dry friction (plasticity), which is provided by the rearrangement of the spatial structure of a dispersed magnetic subsystem in the course of the deformation of the material by a sufficiently strong field, is taken into account in the model. Model parameters are estimated from the reported experimental data on the deformation of cylindrical samples based on a soft silicon elastomer filled with quasispherical microparticles of carbonyl iron.
