Magnetostrictive twisting of film–substrate plates

Torsional mechanical responses in azobenzene functionalized liquid crystalline polymer networks

“…27 Layered structures incorporating material anisotropies (or anisotropic input stimuli) have been explored for bistable morphing skins 28 and bending and twisting sensors and actuators made from piezoelectric [29][30][31] or magnetostrictive materials. 32 A distinct subset of these composites that exhibit a continuous variation of constituent phases are referred to as functionally graded materials (FGM). These materials are currently subject to examination for applications such as prosthetic joints, structural damping, and thermal barrier coatings.…”

Atomic Force Microscopy Measurements of Magnetostriction of Soft-Magnetic Films

“…It is necessary to note that surface magnetostriction is not taking into account for films with thickness more then 50 [nm] [6]. For nanocrystalline ferromagnetic films the grain boundary area magnetostriction could be regarded as the surface magnetostriction [7].…”
