Omar Farhan Aljanaideh Concordia University, 2013 Smart material actuators are increasingly being explored for various micropositioning applications. Magnetostrictive actuators, in particular, are considered attractive for micro/nano positioning and high speed precision machining due to their high energy density, resolution and force capacity. The magnetostrictive actuators, similar to other sm...

There is evidence to support the claim that speedbreakers can cause accidents and injury. When a vehicle approaches a speed-breaker at a speed greater than some threshold velocity, the risk of accident or injury is substantial. Speed-breakers are inconspicuous in low visibility conditions, like at night, or when there is fog, rain or snow. This problem is particularly acute in developing countr...

This paper presents a study of magnetoelectric (ME) properties the PZT/Terfenol-D composite with varying number layers. The consists piezoelectric and magnetostrictive phases that are mechanically coupled. purpose this setup is to gain control over electric polarization material via an external magnetic field. Unlike most similar composites, our samples utilize commercial patch instead pure PZT...

A nonlinear couple modeling of magnetostrictive cantilever is built by combining Gibb’s free energy formulation with the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The Gibb’s free energy corresponding to different orientations in 3D space can be expressed in terms of their direction cosines, the stress at a given point can be described by classical theory. The magnetomechanical bending experimental setup is ...

The study of magnetostrictive material in laminated plate under thermal vibration is calculated by using the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method. The YNS shear deformation effect is included in the time dependent of displacement field. In the thermoelastic stress-strain relations that containing the linear temperature rise and the magnetostrictive coupling terms with velocity feedb...

A high-performance flexible piezoelectric nanogenerator (PNG) is fabricated by a direct writing method, which acquires both patterned piezoelectric structure and aligned piezoelectric nanowires simultaneously. The voltage output of the as-prepared PNG is nearly 400% compared with that of the traditional spin-coated device due to the effective utilization of stress. This facile printing approach...
