contents A novel effect involving the formation of a stable kink-like torsion deformation in a magnetoactive elastomer (MAE) beam subjected to a uniform magnetic field is theoretically predicted and experimentally confirmed. The phenomenon was demonstrated using an elastomer beam containing soft magnetic carbonyl iron microparticles within a silicone matrix. The torsion kink acts as a transition boundary between two undeformed homogeneous states of the beam. We show that the elastic moment is compensated by a magnetoelastic moment in the kink region, where the local magnetization of the beam is non-collinear to the applied magnetic field due to shape anisotropy. We It is established that within the kink region, the MAE beam exists in a non-uniformly elastically deformed, low-symmetry magnetic state. Outside the kink, the beam's magnetization is collinear with the magnetic field, corresponding to an undeformed, high-symmetry homogeneous magnetic state.
