Abstract

In this work the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of magnetic Silly Putty are investigated. Silly Putty is a non-Newtonian material whose response depends on the rate at which it is deformed. For a rapid deformation, it behaves as an elastic solid, while over a relatively long time scale, the polymer molecules can be untangled and it flows as a fluid. The purpose of this article is to study the behaviour of this material firstly under a quasi-static compression and shear loading, and secondly under dynamic shear loading. The Silly Putty under study has a volume fraction of ferromagnetic particles. Hence, both quasi-static and dynamic stress are coupled with several strengths of magnetic field in order to assess the influence of the magnetisation on the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of the material. The approach adopted in this work followed the Design of Experiment method so that evaluating the influence of the variables and their interactions on the system response is possible. The results highlight a strong dependence on the deformation rate, while the influence of the magnetic field is weak, especially under dynamic shear tests in which the viscous components are predominant.
