MAGNETOELASTIC PROPERTIES OF A FERROELAST WITHIN AN ORGANOSILICON POLYMER MATRIX

This paper describes a way of producing ferroelast, a soft magnetic co mposite material with susceptibility to mechanical deformations. This ferroelast consists of the particles of silicon steel dispersed in a o rgano-silicon polymer matrix. We introduce an equivalent model of the ferroelast structure, and derive a formula describing the dependence o f the parameter lambda . E characterizing the susceptibility of the fe rroelast to deformation caused by an heterogeneous magnetic field. Thi s dependence is then verified experimentally for various contents of s ilicon steel particles in the ferroelast.
