A giant magnetostrictive actuator is designed with strong bias magnetic field. The influence of the strong bias field is introduced, and the corresponding exciting input signal is selected. Magnetic reluctance estimation, approximate linearity between the strain and magnetic field, and a mass–spring–damper system assumption are employed to analyze the actuator’s displacement with low-frequency signal input. An experimental system is designed, and properties of the proposed actuator are tested. With the help of square wave test, appropriate direction of exciting signal for the magnetostrictive actuator is determined. With the help of sinusoidal wave test, the established model is validated and the relationship between the maximum value of the displacement and of the current is analyzed. With exciting frequency lower than 200 Hz, the errors between the calculating and testing results are within 1.0 m, which validates the model.

Typical giant magnetostrictive actuator (GMA) cannot meet the requirement of driving a high-speed on–off valve for limitation in bias magnetic field exerted on giant magnetostrictive material. To solve this problem, a novel GMA is designed with zero bias magnetic field. Furthermore, to satisfy the requirement of the displacement direction, a “T” type transfer rod is joined to convert material’s elongating into actuator’s shortening. Simultaneously, long responding time of the actuator, especially the rising time of coil current, is also considered in this paper. The transient-state current is modeled based on the equivalent circuit considering parallel resistance of the coil, and from computed result, high opening voltage can be taken to promote responding speed of the actuator, and then an optimized driving voltage wave is presented. At last, with the help of an experimental system, the current model is verified and the driving effect of optimized voltage wave is tested and analyzed.

Investigations of systems with an active magnetostrictive element generally assume the presence of an external homogeneous bias magnetic field. This article, however, presents the results of a study investigating a bimorph magnetostrictive-aluminium beam vibrating in a non-homogeneous bias field. By comparing results obtained under different operating conditions of the system, the combined effect of the non-linear beam stress and the non-homogeneous external magnetic field on the dynamics of the Villari phenomenon is determined. The preliminary results prove that the application of non-linear magnetic fields to the magnetostrictive devices ensures the extension of energy harvesting bandwidth of these devices and can be used to improve their control possibilities. A study of time series and hysteresis loops provides more detailed information about the non-linear magnetization and dynamics of the system.

Embedded giant magnetostrictive actuator (EGMA) is one of the most important applications of magnetostrictive material. Giant magnetostrictive actuators can deliver big-output displacement and can be driven at high frequencies. These characteristics make them suitable for a variety of positioning. However, because of the limitation of structure, the drive coil and EGMA cannot be any size as needed, so how to maximize the displacement in the limitative situation by optimization becomes the key of design. Several methods are available in the literature, but the coupling drive magnetic field of EGMA and its matrix material is often ignored. In fact, there was a close relationship between the matrix material and the distribution of drive magnetic field. To analyze the relationship, this paper establishes the magnetic circuit model for EGMA. The simulation of the coupling drive magnetic field is also presented. Finally the assumption is validated through experimental tests carried out with two different matrix materials.

This paper considers the behavior of the frequency and transient responses of the magnetic field created by currents in conducting bodies. It is assumed that the surrounding medium is an insulator. The relationship between the low‐frequency part of the frequency spectrum and the late stage of the transient response depends on the type of conductor. These responses and the distribution of the spectrum poles differ for conductors having finite and infinite dimensions. The dependence of various components of the field on conductivity differs, which is important for understanding the resolving capabilities of the inductive methods.

We report on experimental studies focusing on the dynamic ac magnetic susceptibility of a ferronematic. It has been shown recently, that in the isotropic phase of a ferronematic, a weak dc bias magnetic field of a few oersteds increases the ac magnetic susceptibility. This increment vanishes irreversibly if the substance is cooled down to the nematic phase, but can be reinduced by applying the dc bias field again in the isotropic phase [Tomašovičová, N. et al. Soft Matter 2016, 12, 5780–5786]. The effect has no analogue in the neat host liquid crystal. Here, we demonstrate that by doubling the concentration of the magnetic nanoparticles, the range of the dc bias magnetic field to which the ferronematic is sensitive without saturation can be increased by about two orders of magnitude. This finding paves a way to application possibilities, such as low magnetic field sensors, or basic logical elements for information storage.

When the longitudinal mode guided waves based on magnetostrictive effect were employed to inspect the bridge cables, we found that there was a large difference in the signal’s amplitude of the same specification cable under different tensile force. This difference would affect the test results and the identification of defects. It is necessary to study the effect of tensile force on the signal for the reliability of detection. Firstly, the effective field theory is employed to take the force as an additional bias magnetic field. Then, the effect of the tensile force on generating and receiving longitudinal mode guided waves based on magnetostrictive effect is obtained by the relationship between the bias magnetic field and the magnetostrictive coupling coefficient. Finally, the experiment of the magnetostrictive sensor is carried out on a Φ5 mm steel wire under different force. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical results. The results show that the existence of the tensile force would change the operation point for generating and receiving the longitudinal mode guided waves based on magnetostrictive effect, which associated with the coupling coefficient. In order to obtain the optimal conversion efficiency for the force state wire and cable, the applied bias magnetic field should be set smaller than the bias magnetic field for the force-free state.

A mathematical model of vibration power generation (VPG) with the giant magnetostrictive material (GMM) is proposed on the basis of the magneto-mechanical coupling model, Jiles-Atherton model and electromagnetic induction law. According to the model, the output voltage of a giant magnetostrictive power generator has been calculated under the condition of different vibration frequency, pre-stress and bias magnetic field. The calculating results show that the model can reveal the relationship between the input vibrating stress and output voltage. The experiment of a giant magnetostrictive power generator has been carried out, and the experimental results agree well with the calculating results.

In the design of giant magnetostrictive material (GMM) actuator, the bias magnetic field is a vital part. For the use of GMM rod in the magnetostrictive actuator, there are two typical topology structures, in-line structure and coaxial structure. Although these structures have been used in the design of magnetostrictive actuator, little work has been done to compare the general features for concrete application conditions. In this paper, we use finite element analysis (FEA) as the main tool to analyze and compare these structures and come to a conclusion that, as to a diameter-limited actuator, when the length to diameter ratio of the rod is less than 5, coaxial actuator can provide more uniform magnetic field and less moving parts; when the length to diameter ratio of rod is 5, the field inhomogeneity is nearly equal, and coaxial actuator uses less moving parts and in-line actuator cost less permanent magnet (PM); when the length to diameter ratio of rod is more than 5, in-line actuator can provide more uniform magnetic field and use less PM.
