Abstract

Pre-existing flaws in highly stretchable elastomers trigger fracture under large deformations. For multifunctional materials, fracture mechanics may be influenced by additional physical phenomena. This work studies the implications of hard magnetics on the fracture behaviour of ultra-soft magnetorhe...
