Force induced by non-uniform magnetic field

[Junang-Wang]

Hi there,

I am wondering if MagnetoPyElastica only consider magnetic torque $\tau = m \times B$, where $m$ represents magnetization and $B$ is the externel magnetic field, or if it also accounts for the force induced by non-uniform magnetic field $F = \nabla (m\cdot B)$? I noticed that in magnetic_forces.py, the MagneticForces class only applies torque to the rod.

Thank you in advance for your response.

Hi @Junang-Wang

Currently we only have implementation for uniform magnetic field.

Hi @armantekinalp, thank you for your response. Does MagnetoPyElastica plan to deal with non-uniform magnetic field?

Hi @Junang-Wang

Currently we don't have the man power the man power to implement. However, It shouldn't be too difficult to implement. If you are planning to work on non-uniform magnetic fields, we appreciate your contribution. Let us know if you have further questions.

Best,
