The existence of a deformation and magnetization minimizing the magnetostrictive free energy is given. Mathematical challenges are presented by a free energy that includes elastic contributions defined in the reference configuration and magnetic contributions defined in the spatial frame. The one-to-one a.e. and orientation-preserving property of the deformation is demonstrated, and the satisfa...

Abstract This paper describes the magnetoelectric (ME) coupling behavior of nano bi-layer L-T (longitudinal-transverse) mode bar structure through ME coefficient mathematical model that is developed in high frequency regime. Terfenol-D and Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) are used as ferromagnetic (FM) ferroelectric (FE) layers, respectively. The coefficients determined at different layer thicknes...

The present paper describes the work done at SLAC for the magnetostrictive wire spark chambers of SPEAR, LASS and the two-meter streamer chamber. All three are CAMAC systems based on the use of a time digitizer module with different interfacing techniques into three different computers (Sigma 5, PDP-9, PDP-11). Of particular interest is a display controller module that permits wide selection of...

A method is developed which allows to determine the first-order and the second-order magnetoelastic coefficients of a magnetic bulk material from the ab-initio calculation of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy as function of a prestrain ǫ0. Explicit results are given for bcc Fe, and they agree well with experimental data obtained from the magnetostrictive stress measurements for epitaxial...

This paper addresses the development of inverse compensation techniques for a class of ferromagnetic transducers including magnetostrictive actuators. If unaccommodated, the hys-teresis and nonlinear dynamics can produce severe loss of control authority and potential instabilities when the actuators are incorporated in control design. In this work, hysteresis is modeled through the domain wall ...

The rate-dependent hysteresis present in thin magnetostrictive actuators can be captured by a dynamic model, consisting of a Preisach operator coupled to an ordinary differential equation in an unusual way. The model presents interesting problems in analysis and computation due to its special structure. In this paper we first transform the model into a more amenable form and gain insight into t...

In this research, a control feedback system is used to study the free vibration response of rectangular plate made of magnetostrictive material (MsM) for the first time. A new trigonometric higher order shear deformation plate theory are utilized and the results of them are compared with two theories in order to clarify their accuracy and errors. Pasternak foundation is selected to modelling of...
