It is supposed that initially, before application of an external magnetic field, the particles are homogeneously and isotropically distributed in an elastic matrix. The theoretical explanation of the hysteresis phenomena is based on the conception that, under the field action, the particles rearrange into the linear chain-like aggregates. The typical length of the chains is determined by the competition between the force of magnetic attraction of the particles and the force of elastic deformation of the matrix.}, organization = {This work has been done under the financial support of the Russian Fund for Basic Research, 16-58-12003, 16-53- 12009, 16-32-00019 mol a, the Program of Russian Federation Ministry of Science and Education, projects 3.1438.2017/4.6, 11.10010.2017/5.2; 3.5214.2017/6.7; D.B. would like to acknowledge the financial support of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) under Grant Bo 3343/1-1 within PAK 907.
