Experimental Analysis of the Tensile Behavior of a Hybrid Composite Beam with Adjustable Mechanical Properties

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Magnetorheological elastomer beam samples were tested in uniaxial tension in magnetic fields of different intensities up to the final rupture. The samples deformed nonlinearly. Their maximum elongation reached 70% and the tensile strength increased by 120% with growing intensity of magnetic field applied.
