Abstract The validity of the two conventional micro-macro descriptions for MRFs, based respectively on the exact dipole model and the simplified dipole model, is examined with the results obtained with the commercially available finite element (FE) code ANSYS. It is found that although the simplified dipole model can match better the result by FE computation, there is still a marked difference. An enhanced dipole model is then suggested, which takes into account the contribution of the magnetized particles to magnetic field. Making use of a statistical approach and neglecting the interaction between particle chains, a micro-macro More >
