Two-Dimensional Magnetoelastic Problem for a Multiply Connected Piezomagnetic Body

A general method based on complex variable theory is proposed to determine the magnetic and elastic fields of a piezomagnetic body. This method is used to derive the basic relations for complex potentials in the two-dimensional problem of magnetoelasticity, their general representations for a multiply connected domain, expressions for stresses, displacements, vectors of magnetic field intensity and magnetic flux density, and magnetic field potential. A closed-form solution is obtained for a body with an elliptic (circular) hole or crack subjected at infinity to the action of a constant magnetoelastic field. Numerical results for a piezomagnetic plate with a circular hole are presented __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 10, pp. 64–74, October 2005.

Polynomial Stability to Three-Dimensional Magnetoelastic Waves

In this work we show that the energy associated to the linear three-dimensional magneto-elastic system decays polynomially to zero as time goes to infinity, provided the initial data is smooth enough.     

Direct and inverse measurement of thin films magnetostriction

Two techniques of measurements of thin film magnetostriction are compared: direct, when changes of the substrate curvature caused by the film magnetization are controlled, and inverse (“indirect”), when the modification of the magnetic anisotropy induced by the substrate deformation (usually bending) is measured. We demonstrate how both the elastic strength of the substrate and the effective magneto-mechanical coupling between the substrate deformation and magnetic anisotropy of the film depend on different conditions of bending. Equations to be used for magnetostriction value determination in typical cases are given and critical parameters for the corresponding approximations are identified.

Decay and other estimates for a semi-infinite magnetoelastic cylinder: Saint-Venant''s principle

An analogue of the well known Toupin's version of Saint-Venant's principle is proved for a semi-infinite magnetoelastic cylinder under very mild assumptions on the asymptotic behaviour of the Dirichlet integral of the magnetic field and of the elastic energy. With regard to the elastic fields, we assign on the base either the stress or the displacement vector while we assume that the lateral surface is either traction free or held fixed at zero displacement. We make use of the first Korn inequality and estimate the total energy of the conductor in terms of the data for all the problems considered.     

ANALYSIS ON DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS FOR FERROMAGNETIC CONDUCTING PLATES IN A TRANSVERSE UNIFORM MAGNETIC FIELD

In this paper, a set of basic equations for free vibration of ferromagnetic conducting plates in a transverse magnetic field are presented, in which the coupled effects of magnetization and eddy current on the mechanical behavior of the plate are included. Based on the quantitative analyses on the vibration frequency and the values of the critical magnetic field for several supporting conditions of the plate, the effects of the conductivity, the magnetic permeability, the thickness of the plate and supporting conditions on the vibration frequency of the plate and the critical magnetic field are discussed.

Spontaneous thermal expansion of nematic elastomers

We study the monodomain (single-crystal) nematic elastomer materials, all side-chain siloxane polymers with the same mesogenic groups and crosslinking density, but differing in the type of crosslinking. Increasing the proportion of long di-functional segments of main-chain nematic polymer, acting as network crosslinking, results in dramatic changes in the uniaxial equilibrium thermal expansion on cooling from the isotropic phase. At higher concentration of main chains their behaviour dominates the elastomer properties. At low concentration of main-chain material, we detect two distinct transitions at different temperatures, one attributed to the main-chain, the other to the side-chain component. The effective uniaxial anisotropy of nematic rubber, r(T) = / proportional to the effective nematic order parameter Q(T), is given by an average of the two components and thus reflects the two-transition nature of thermal expansion. The experimental data is compared with the theoretical model of ideal nematic elastomers; applications in high-amplitude thermal actuators are discussed in the end.

Atomistic explanation of the Gough-Joule-effect

An interpretation of the Gough-Joule-Effect from an atomistic point of view is given by a special investigation of lattice vibrations using a non-interacting model. The calculations are restricted to crystals with ideal crystal structure built up of only one kind of particles. Approximate analytical formulas are derived. A comparison between the classical macroscopic theory and the here presented microscopic calculations is drawn. Received 5 April 2001 and Received in final form 16 August 2001
