Magnetostriction occurs in the most ferromagnetic materials and leads to many effects [1,2]. The most useful one to refer to is the Joule effect. It is responsible for the expansion (positive magnetostriction) or the contraction (negative) of a rod subjected to a longitudinal static magnetic field. In a given material, this magnetostrain is quadratic and occurs always in the same direction what...

Powder metallurgic giant magnetostrictive composite materials (GMM) which are special kind of metallic compounds have a wide range of application possibilities. These materials have a homogeneous structure, low internal stresses and low cost, which make them able to create magnetostrictive elements. Therefore, GMM can be used to develop positioning as well as vibration actuators with quick resp...

Nickel (Ni) is a naturally occurring metal existing in various mineral forms and it is present in all compartments of the environment and ubiquitous in the biosphere as nickel compounds and complexes. It is a silvery-white lustrous metal with a slight golden tinge. Nickel belongs to 3d group transition metals and is hard and ductile. Nickel is one of the five ferromagnetic elements. It is also ...

Magnetoelectric (ME) interaction in magnetostrictive-piezoelectric multiferroic structures consists in inducing the electric field across the structure in an applied magnetic field and is a product property of magnetostriction and piezoelectricity in components. ME voltage coefficient that is the ratio of induced electric field to applied magnetic field is the key parameter of ME coupling stren...

Magnetic noise in electrical machines and transformers are a large portion of the total noise of the device. Part of this magnetic noise is caused by the deformation of the ferromagnetic laminations due to the magnetic field. This effect is called magnetostriction, and it strongly depends on the applied magnetic field, the material properties and external pressure to the material. A strain gaug...

Textured polycrystalline Fe-Ga alloys exhibit magnetostrictive strains of 100 ppm or greater and may function as a mechanically robust actuator/sensing material. Current efforts seek to combine the 300+ ppm magnetostrictive strain performance of [100] oriented single crystals with the mechanical properties of polycrystalline forms. One approach to combining these properties is to control the cr...

The remote control of the electrical conductance through nanosized junctions at room temperature will play an important role in future nano-electromechanical systems and electronic devices. This can be achieved by exploiting the magnetostriction effects of ferromagnetic materials. Here we report on the electrical conductance of magnetic nanocontacts obtained from wires of the giant magnetostric...

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 paper proposes a two-stage model able to describe the dynamic behavior of a commercial magnetostrictive actuator in the frequency range of interest for fast actuation purposes. The first stage is a static model of hysteresis, while the second one is a linear dynamic model. The model structure allows to define well-assessed identification procedures for both stages. In particular, the identi...
