A measurement study is conducted to investigate how changes in temperature, dynamic strain amplitude, and magnetic field strength influence the behavior of a magnetosensitive material. During the measurements seven temperatures, four magnetic fields, and three dynamic strain amplitudes are used over a 200 to 800 Hz frequency range. The results indicate a decrease in shear modulus magnitude as the dynamic strain amplitude is increased. As the frequency and magnetic field strength increases the magnitude increases. However, the measurements indicate that the temperature is the most influential of the parameters as the material stiffens significantly when the temperature reaches the transition phase. Understanding the temperature dependence increases the knowledge of magnetosensitive materials.
