Abstract
The magnetorheology of a "suspension" of millimetric-size steel spheres in oil has been studied. After a precise measurement of the magnetic properties of the particles we show that the yield stress is well characterized and that it can be predicted by a finite element method and a non-affine model where the chains break in the middle. Some experiments in microgravity confirm that the sedimentation does not alter our results and also shows that the magnetic stress decreases with the shear rate.
