Nonlinearities, Harmonics, and Trends in Dynamic Applications of Terfenol-d

چکیده
We are working to understand Terfenol-D's behavior in dynamic applications. Experimental results demonstrate that the amplitudes of harmonics present in Terfenol-D transducer output displacement spectra increase with increasing drive-current amplitude. An empirical mathematical model which predicts harmonics is presented. The model approximates both the nonlinear strain versus magnetic flux density behavior (ε vs B), and the magnetic hysteresis (B vs H) of the material. Trends are shown for displacement versus drive-current amplitude as a function of frequency. Generally, displacements increase with increasing drive-current amplitude, and decrease with increasing drive frequency (when operated away from mechanical resonance). Single frequency drive-current results are compared with the trends predicted by the mathematical model.

متن کاملDesign and Application of Magnetostrictive “MS” Materials
Magnetostriction is the change in shape of materials under the influence of an external magnetic field. The cause of magnetostriction change in length is the result of the rotation of small magnetic domains. This rotation and re-orientation causes internal strains in the material structure. The strains in the structure lead to the stretching (in the case of positive magnetostriction) of the mat...

Ferroelectric (e.g., PZT and PMN) and ferromaqnetic (e.g., Terfenol-D) materials exhibit high energy densities, broadband drive capabilities, and the capacity for both actuating and sensing. This makes them attractive as compact transducers for applications including nanopositioning systems such as atomic force microscopes (AFM), acoustic transducers, and drive mechanisms for high speed milling...
