Influence of the transverse magnetic field intensity upon the electric resistance of the magnetorheological elastomer containing graphite microparticles

The magnetoresistor achieved and presented in this paper is based on magneto theological elastomer (MRE) with graphite microparticles. It is shown that the resistance R of the magnetoresistor decreases with an increase of the strength H of the transverse magnetic field and of the compression force F, respectively The sum theta of the principal deformations as well as the compresibility module K is determined and the results obtained are discussed.
