In this work we employ molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the first-order-reversal-curve distribution and switching-field distribution of magnetic elastomers. We model magnetic elastomers in a bead-spring approximation with permanently magnetized spherical particles of two different sizes. We find that a different fractional composition of particles affects the magnetic properties of elastomers obtained as a result. We prove that the hysteresis of the elastomer can be attributed to the broad energy landscape with multiple shallow minima and caused by dipolar interactions.
