Abstract:Deformation of a thin cylindrical body with a magnetizable elastomer based on silicone in the magnetic field of an electromagnetic coil is investigated experimentally and theoretically. It is observed that a bistability of the thin body equilibrium shape exists at some values of the coil current. The method of measuring elasticity coefficients of the magnetizable elastomer in the Mooney – Rivlin model is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
