The dependence of the elastomagnetic effect on the orientation of Ni ellipsoidal microparticles dispersed in a silicone matrix is investigated. When a volume strain is produced on the composite material in a fixed magnetizing field, the effects of mechanical and magnetic torque are simply modeled and the induced magnetization change can be predicted as a function of the particles' pre-orientation. The theoretical predictions are experimentally verified. As a consequence, it is possible to govern the elastomagnetic effect by proper microparticle orientation.

Abstract
The dependence of the elastomagnetic effect on the orientation of Ni ellipsoidal microparticles dispersed in a silicone matrix is investigated. When a volume strain is produced on the composite material in a fixed magnetizing field, the effects of mechanical and magnetic torque are simply modeled and the induced magnetization change can be predicted as a function of the particles' pre-orientation. The theoretical predictions are experimentally verified. As a consequence, it is possible to govern the elastomagnetic effect by proper microparticle orientation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
