Fe-Pd alloy films, prepared by using a DC magnetron sputtering method, were developed as a high sensitive actuator, which was driven by the magnetic field. Fe-Pd alloy film shows large magnetostriction and high magnetostrictive susceptibility under 1 kOe. To evaluate the moving potential as magneto-driving actuator, the magnetostrictive properties were measured under different tensile loading s...

A homogenized energy model was implemented in a model-based nonlinear control design to accurately track a reference displacement signal for high frequency magnetostrictive actuator applications. Rate dependent nonlinear and hysteretic magnetostrictive constitutive behavior is incorporated into the finite-dimensional optimal control design to improve control at high frequency. The integration o...

A laser-based magnet measurement system has been developed to measure the magnetostrictive strain of large cylindrical samples. The measurement system incorporates a solenoid capable of generating a maximum magnetic field intensity of 3000 Oe and a laser displacement sensor. For calibration and evaluation purposes, the positive magnetostrictions of two different types of giant magnetostrictive ...

Gd5(SixGe1-x)4 has a complex magnetic-structural phase diagram which can be divided into three distinct regions. I t exhibits an unusual first order coupled magnetic-structural phase transition in the region 0.41 ≤ x ≤ 0.51. A series of magnetostrictive strain measurements were carried out as a function of magnetic field strength at different temperatures and as a function of temperature at nea...

Herein, magnetoelectric microelectromechanical system (MEMS) cantilevers are investigated on basis of a TiN/AlN/Ni laminate derived from experimental sensors using finite-element simulations. With the anisotropic ΔE effect as an implication magnetocrystalline anisotropy, lateral sensitivity sensor is studied for different nickel layer thicknesses and boundary conditions. It found that above 60%...

This paper describes the modeling of magnetoelectric (ME) effects for disk-type Terfenol-D (Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.92)/PZT (Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃) laminate composite at low frequency by combining the advantages of the static elastic model and the equivalent circuit model, aiming at providing a guidance for the design and fabrication of the sensors based on magnetoelectric laminate composite. Considering that the ...

PURPOSE The effects of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric devices on tooth surfaces seem to differ with regard to the root surface roughness they produce. This study aimed to compare the results of scaling using magnetostrictive and piezoelectric devices on extracted teeth. METHODS Forty-four human extracted teeth were assigned to four study groups (n=11). In two groups (C100 and C200), the t...

TbFe2 film prepared by a flash evaporation system onto Si(100) or polyamide substrate have been irradiated with different Ar ion doses at zero, 1.3x10 and 2.7x10 ions/cm and at 10 kV. Magnetostrictive properties of TbFe2 film with disordered structure, saturated magnetostriction and magnetostrictive susceptibility, improved by Ar ion beam irradiation due to increasing of in-plane compressive st...

Aiming to the effect of hysteresis characteristics of giant magnetostrictive materials on the giant magnetostrictive actuator, the actuator’s model is divided into four separate segments. Then, based on the Preisach theory, a model which can describe hysteresis characteristics for the actuator is established. Based on this, feedforward is combined with feedback, and a PID closed-loop feedback c...
