| Popis: | The features of the critical bending deformation and magnetization of a magnetoactive elastomer (MAE) beam with a fixed end in a transverse uniform magnetic field have been studied. After the beam reaches a critical bending, the symmetry of the beam shape and the symmetry of the MAE magnetic state change spontaneously. At the critical point, a continuous transition from the highly symmetric magnetic state in the unbent MAE beam to the low symmetric magnetic state in the bent MAE beam (this is the angular state with the effective magnetization inclined to the field) takes place. The beam bending occurs due to the gain in the magnetic energy of the beam. The formation of an angular magnetic state in it has a magnetoelastic origin and is characterized by the critical behavior of the mutually related bending and longitudinal effective magnetization of the MAE, but it is the magnetization that plays the role of order parameter. Furthermore, there is no longitudinal magnetization in the absence of bending and, vice versa, there is no bending in the absence of longitudinal magnetization. The influence of a low remanent magnetization, which eliminates the uncertainty in the bending direction, on the critical bending has been analyzed. The role of the magnetorheological effect, which affects the critical field magnitude and leads to the appearance of field-induced bending hysteresis near the critical point, has also been elucidated. |
