Abstract

This work presents a geometrically nonlinear homogenization framework for composites with magneto-mechanical behavior whereby the composite can be subject to large deformation processes. The magneto-mechanical governing equations in the material description for both the overall body and its microstructure are presented, and the connections between micro- and macro-scale field variables are identified. Considering periodic boundary conditions for the microscopic unit cell, a finite element framework for computing the macroscopic field variables and the effective tangent moduli is developed. The proposed methodology is utilized to study a variety of two- and three-dimensional numerical examples. In particular, the behavior of fiber and particle reinforced composites with magneto-mechanical constitutive laws are illustrated. Finally, a specific physically motivated problem of a magnetorheological elastomer, consisting of a polymer matrix and iron particles, under finite deformation and applied magnetic field is analyzed and the results are given for several combinations of deformation modes and applied magnetic fields. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
