We characterized the viscous behavior of MR silicones at room temperature (i.e., T = 25 °C) as a function of carbonyl iron powder concentration and magnetic field strength using rotational (controlled shear rate and controlled shear stress) tests (Mezger, 2020). This dataset also provides the displacement and velocity fields of a simple experiment performed to test the use of magnetorheological silicones for experimental tectonics purposes.
