C. Body et al., NONLINEAR FINITE-ELEMENT MODELING OF MAGNETOMECHANICAL PHENOMENON IN GIANT MAGNETOSTRICTIVE THIN-FILMS, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 33(2), 1997, pp. 1620-1623
Magnetostrictive materials are characterized by a strong coupling betw
een magnetic and mechanical phenomena, The modelling of magnetostricti
ve thin films using Finite Element Method is investigated, and two str
ong coupling formulations are proposed, They allow to take into accoun
t the material's nonlinearity as well as the magneto mechanical coupli
ng. The first one is using the H(B,sigma) and sigma(epsilon,H) charact
eristics in order to achieve the coupling, the second one directly use
s the lambda(H) curves and enables an experimental validation.
