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.
