Magnetomechanical coupling in Bridgman-grown Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.9 at high drive levels

Abstract

It is now possible to achieve substantial magnetomechanical transduction in modified Bridgman-grown samples of Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.9 (Terfenol-D) which are grain-oriented to achieve nearly complete [112] alignment. Large magnetic-field excursions can be converted into large fractional dimension changes (ΔL/L>10−3). In this paper measurements are reported of the average magnetomechanical coupling factor determined by (i) large field drives (>1000 Oe) and (ii) large pressure changes (> 20 MPa). By extending the small-signal magnetomechanical expressions to difference relationships Δε=sH Δσ+d ΔH and ΔB=d*Δσ+μσ ΔH, it is possible to determine large-signal coupling factors by k2=1−με/μσ, and (2) k2=1−sB/sH. Here με and μσ are the average magnetic permeabilities (ΔB/ΔH) at constant strain ε, and at constant stress σ, and sB and sH are the large signal elastic compliances (Δε/Δσ) at constant induction B, and constant field H. The square of the coupling factor is defined by k2=1−dd*/sHμσ. Using an apparatus which was designed to minimize demagnetizing effects, με, μσ, sB, sH, d, and d* were measured in large Bridgman-grown samples (10 cm×3.75 cm diam) for compressive stresses up to 49.1 MPa with field excursions from ±250 to ±750 Oe and pressure excursions from ±3.7 to ±19.0 MPa.

The contact problem of a circular rigid punch on piezomagnetic materials

“…Earth's magnetic flux density is 0.05 mTesla. We solved the problem using data from Clark (1980), Clark et al (1990), Moffet et al (1991) and du Trém-olet de Lacheisserie (1993), taking the elasticity matrix isotropic and using appropriate values of the material constants according to the measured magnetic fields of the permanent magnets used in the experiments.…”

Effect of shear stress on electromagnetic behaviors in superconductor-ferromagnetic bilayer structure

“…63,73 The ferromagnetic layer is polarized in out-of-plane direction, then the anti-plane shear strain is coupled with in-plane magnetic field. 64 For the anti-plane shear deformation, the constitutive equations for the ferromagnetic materials are given by [65][66][67] …”

Effects of high temperature annealing on the chemical homogeneity and Magnetostriction of Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.90 Intermetallic Compound

“…Terfenol-D has a strain 15 times larger than PZT piezoelectric material. The magnetoelastic coupling coefficient, k, for Terfenol-D exceeds 0.72 which is comparable to the PZT material with k=0.67 [2]. k is an important figure of efficiency of energy transduction.…”
