Abstract
Magneto-sensitive materials are a class of active materials whose mechanical properties are sensitive to an externally applied magnetic field. These materials exhibit non-linear and elastic/viscoelastic behavior and can undergo large deformation. In the present work, we study the effect of the external magnetic field on dynamic stress–strain behavior of a system consisting of linear polymer chains with uniformly dispersed ferrite particles in it. Molecular dynamics simulation is used as a numerical tool for this study. At moderate magnetic field strengths, change in the constitutive behavior is not significant, but as we increase the field strength, material becomes stiffer. We also study the effect of the magnetic particles on constitutive behavior by varying the volume fraction of the same.
