A short overview of the mechanics of electromagnetic continua at finite strains is provided in this paper. In this framework objective thermodynamically‐consistent constitutive relations are formulated for materials that exhibit thermo‐electro‐magnetomechanical coupling. In particular a model for an isotropic hyperelastic magnetic solid is considered, which finds application for magnetorheological elastomers (MRE). (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
