Abstract

An anisotropic phenomenological model is proposed to describe the Mullins phenomena for magnetoactive elastomers. The model is based on the use of direction-dependent damage parameters and a set of spectral invariants presented recently in the literature. The effect of the magnetic field on the Mullins phenomena for simple tension and simple shear is discussed.
