title: Hydrodynamics of isotropic ferrogels.
abstract: We derive the complete set of macroscopic dynamic equations for ferrogels under an external magnetic field, including the magnetization as an independent dynamic degree of freedom. The magnetoelasticity comes in the form of magnetostriction and through the magnetic part of the Maxwell stress. Various dynamic couplings of the elastic degree of freedom with the magnetization and the magnetic field are found. We discuss static elongation, shear deformations, and the modified sound spectrum in the presence of an external magnetic field.
