The work is devoted to the theoretical investigation of quasi-static magnetoelectric interaction in three-layer structures consisting a piezoelectric and two magnetic layers with positive negative magnetostriction. Using system elasto- electrostatics equations for magnetostrictive phases, expressions electrical response structure field are obtained. contributions from longitudinal bending defor...

Background: Giant magnetostrictive materials are increasingly proposed for smart material applications such as in sensors, actuators, and energy harvesting applications. However, reviewing the literature on this topic, the reader observes a large amount of variability in the reported properties that are typically generated from overall strain or point-value strain measurements obtained with str...

Seven-wire strands are commonly used in civil-engineering structures such a cable-stayed bridges, pre-stressed concrete bridges or retaining walls structures. These civil engineering structures suffer from ageing and degradation due to corrosion and fatigue of structural steel members. Guided ultrasonic waves are potentially attractive tools for non destructive assessment of their integrity. Th...
