A magnetoelastic theoretical model for soft ferromagnetic shell in magnetic field

With the aid of a generalized variational method, in this paper, a theoretical model for soft ferromagnetic shells is derived to describe their magnetoelastic behavior in an applied magnetic field. Having made a quantitative comparison between the numerical predictions given by several theoretical models and the experimental results on strains of a cylindrical shell, we find that the predictions got by our model are in good agreement with the experimental data. It is also found that the Moon’s model is a special case of the model derived in this paper when the relative magnetic permeability μ_r>10⁴, which confirms that it is reasonable for the Moon’s model to calculate strains of the soft ferromagnetic shells. Having displayed the distribution of the equivalent magnetic force in the length of the cylindrical shell and its circumferential bending strains with different elastic end constraints, we give an explanation for the discrepancy between Moon’s analytical results and his experimental ones.     

A VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLE ON MAGNETOELASTIC INTERACTION OF FERROMAGNETIC THIN PLATES

The key to revealing the behaviors of magnetoelastic interaction is how to express themagnetic forces applying on a ferronqagnetic elastic body.In this paper,a functional for a ferromag-netic thin plate in magnetic fields is proposed by taking the summation of the magnetic energy of themagnetic system and the strain energy of the elastic plates.We present a variational principle for theproblem by choosing the variations of magnetic potential and deflection as independent variates eachother.Based on the principle,not only are the simultancous governing equations for magnetic fieldsand deformation of structures deduced,but also a general expression of magnetic force acting on theplates is gained,which makes it possible to commonly simulate the distinct two experiments of magne-toelastic interaction in a theoretical model.Thus,it can be used to theoretical prediction of the magne-toelastic interaction of ferromagnetic plates in a complex environment of applied magnetic fields.

软铁磁薄板磁弹性屈曲的理论模型

铁磁弹性薄板的磁弹性屈曲问题一直作为电磁——弹性力学相互作用的一个基本模型进行研究，而作用在其磁介质上的磁力计算则是定量理论预测准确与否的关键．到目前为止，文献上已有的理论模型对悬臂铁磁梁式悬臂板在横向磁场中磁弹性屈曲的理论预测值始终高于实验值，有的甚至相差１００％左右．本文基于电磁力计算的微观安培电流模型，严格给出了软铁磁薄板等效横向磁力的宏观计算表达式．在此基础上，建立了电磁——力学相互耦合作用的非线性理论模型．该模型能描述铁磁薄板结构在非均匀横向磁场环境中的磁弹性失稳（或屈曲）．其定量分析采用了有限元法和有限差分法相结合．数值结果显示：本模型给出的磁弹性屈曲的临界磁场值与实验值符合良好．与此同时，文中还对文献中认为较成功的Ｍｏｏｎ－Ｐａｏ模型的基本假设进行了分析．定量结果发现：Ｍｏｏｎ－Ｐａｏ理论模型的基本假设仅在梁式板的长厚比Ｌ／ｈ比较大时（约在２００左右），是可以接受的，而当Ｌ／ｈ较小时，该假设将导致理论值与实验值的较大误差．Ｌ／ｈ比值越小，理论值与实验值的误差越大     

A theoretical model of magnetoelastic bucking for soft ferromagnetic thin plates

As an essential model of magnetoelastic interaction between magnetic field and mechanical deformation, the study on magnetoelastic buckling phenomenon of soft ferromagnetic plates in a magnetic environment has been conducted. One of the key steps for the theoretical prediction of the critical magnetic field is how to formulate magnetic force exerted on the magnetized medium. Till today, the theoretical predictions, from theoretical models in publications, of the magnetoelastic buckling of ferromagnetic cantilevered beam-plate in transverse magnetic field are all higher than their experimental data. Sometimes, the discrepancy between them is as high as 100%. In this paper, the macroscope formulation of the magnetic forces is strictly obtained from the microscope Amperion current model. After that, a new theoretical model is established to describe the magnetoelastic buckling phenomenon of ferromagnetic thin plates with geometrically nonlinear deformation in a nonuniform transverse magnetic field. The numerical method for quantitative analysis is employed by combining the finite elemental method for magnetic fields and the finite difference method for deformation of plates. The numerical results obtained from this new theoretical model show that the theoretical predictions of critical values of the buckling magnetic field for the ferromagnetic cantilevered beam-plate are in excellent agreement with their experimental data. By the way, the region of applicability to the Moon-Pao's model, or the couple model, is checked by quantitative results.

Buckling and post-buckling of a ferromagnetic beam-plate induced by magnetoelastic interactions

Buckling and post-buckling behavior of a soft ferromagnetic beam-plate with unmovable simple supports under an applied magnetic field is analyzed by taking into account the non-linear effect of large deflections based on the von Karman model of plates. The study shows that buckling is proceeded by bending only if the applied magnetic field forms an incident angle with the normal of the plate. The characteristics of buckling and post-buckling are explored by numerical analysis. In particular, the numerical solution shows that, when the applied magnetic field is oblique, the plate snapps from a whole wave configuration into a half-wave configuration as buckling/snapping occurs, and that the magnetoelastic buckling strength increases with the increasing oblique angle.

Nonlinear vibration of a rotating cantilever beam in a surrounding magnetic field

The nonlinear vibrations of a rotating cantilever beam made of magnetoelastic materials surrounded by a uniform magnetic field are investigated. The kinetic energy, potential energy and work done by the electromagnetic force are obtained. A nonlinear dynamic model, based on the Hamilton principle, which includes the stretching vibration and bending vibration is presented. The Galerkin method is adopted to discretize the dynamic equations. The proposed method is validated by comparison with the literature. The nonlinear behaviors of the responses are studied. Then simulations for different kinds of magnetic field are conducted. The effects of magnetic field parameters, including the amplitude, plane angle, spatial angle and time-varying frequency, on the dynamic behaviors of the stretching motion and bending motion are investigated in detail. The results illustrate that the interaction effects between the rotating cantilever beam and the magnetic field will increase the vibration amplitude and fluctuation of the beam. In particular, we found that: collinear magnetic fields with equal amplitude lead to the same dynamic responses; the amplitude of magnetic field intensity increases the dynamic responses remarkably; the response amplitude changes nonlinearly with the plane angle and spatial angle of the magnetic field; and the increase of time-varying frequency enhances dynamic responses of the rotating cantilever beam.

Perturbed magnetic field of an infinite plate with a centered crack

Deforming a cracked magnetoelastic body in a magnetic field induces a perturbed magnetic field around the crack. The quantitative relationship between this perturbed field and the stress around the crack is crucial in developing a new generation of magnetism-based nondestructive testing technologies. In this paper, an analytical expression of the perturbed magnetic field induced by structural deforma- tion of an infinite ferromagnetic elastic plate containing a centered crack in a weak external magnetic field is obtained by using the linearized magnetoelastic theory and Fourier transform methods. The main finding is that the perturbed magnetic field intensity is proportional to the applied tensile stress, and is dominated by the displacement gradient on the boundary of the magnetoelastic solid. The tangential component of the perturbed magnetic-field intensity near the crack exhibits an antisymmetric distribution along the crack that reverses its direction sharply across its two faces, while the normal component shows a symmetric distribution along the crack with singular points at the crack tips.

ANALYSIS ON THE MAGNETO-ELASTIC-PLASTIC BUCKLING/SNAPPING OF CANTILEVER RECTANGULAR FERROMAGNETIC PLATES

An analysis of buckling/snapping and bending behaviors of magneto-elastic-plastic interaction and coupling for cantilever rectangular soft ferromagnetic plates is presented.Based on the expression of magnetic force from the variational principle of ferromagnetic plates,the buckling and bending theory of thin plates,the Mises yield criterion and the increment theory for plastic deformation,we establish a numerical code to quantitatively simulate the behaviors of the nonlinearly multi-fields coupling problems by the finite element method.Along with the phenom- ena of buckling/snapping and bending,or the characteristic curve of deflection versus magnitude of applied magnetic fields being numerically displayed,the critical loads of buckling/snapping, and the influences of plastic deformation and the width of plate on these critical loads,the plastic regions expanding with the magnitude of applied magnetic field,as well as the evolvement of deflection configuration of the plate are numerically obtained in a case study.     

Equilibrium theory for magnetic elastomers and magnetoelastic membranes

A theory for the equilibrium response of magnetoelastic membranes under pressure and applied magnetic fields is formulated on the basis of three-dimensional magnetoelasticity. A variational principle admitted by the three-dimensional theory is used to generate a model for membranes regarded as thin three-dimensional bodies. Minimum energy considerations in the presence of applied magnetic fields are used to motivate a direct theory of magnetoelastic membranes which does not require information about bulk properties. The theory is applicable to conventional elastomers magnetized through infusion with uniformly dispersed ferrous particles.     

Analytical and numerical studies of free vibration frequencies of ferromagnetic plates with arbitrary electric conductance in a transverse magnetic field in the 3D setting

The problem on the vibrations of a magnetoelastic ferromagnetic plate was studied in [1–5] from the viewpoint of the averaging approach, i.e., on the basis of the classical Kirchhoff hypothesis. In [6–10], a new approach proposed for elastic plates in [11] was used to derive dispersion relations for magnetoelastic plates. In [10], the 3D approach was used to obtain the ferromagnetic plate vibration frequencies; in the case of a transverse magnetic field, the equations of the perturbed motion of the plates were written out with the initial stresses taken into account [5, 12] but without considering the initial strains. In [13, 14], the problems on the vibrations of conducting plates in a magnetic field were studied.In the present paper, we derive the dispersion equations, which are asymptotic equations for small magnetic fields and exact equations for the initial stresses and strains related by Hooke’s law. The corresponding numerical computations are also performed.

ANALYSES ON NONLINEAR COUPLING OF MAGNETO-THERMO-ELASTICITY OF FERROMAGNETIC THIN SHELL-Ⅱ: FINITE ELEMENT MODELING AND APPLICATION

Based on the generalized variational principle of magneto-thermo-elasticity of a ferromagnetic thin shell established (see, Analyses on nonlinear coupling of magneto-thermo-elasticity of ferromagnetic thin shell-Ⅰ), the present paper developed a finite element modeling for the mechanical-magneto-thermal multi-field coupling of a ferromagnetic thin shell. The numerical modeling composes of finite element equations for three sub-systems of magnetic, thermal and deformation fields, as well as iterative methods for nonlinearities of the geometrical large-deflection and the multi-field coupling of the ferromagnetic shell. As examples, the numerical simulations on magneto-elastic behaviors of a ferromagnetic cylindrical shell in an applied magnetic field, and magneto-thermo-elastic behaviors of the shell in applied magnetic and thermal fields are carried out. The results are in good agreement with the experimental ones.
