CHARACTERIZATION and MODELING of the FERROMAGNETIC SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY Ni-Mn-Ga for SENSING and ACTUATION CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELING OF THE FERROMAGNETIC SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY Ni-Mn-Ga FOR SENSING AND ACTUATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Ful¯llment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Neelesh Nandkumar Sarawate, B.E., M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Marcelo Dapino, Adviser Rajendra Singh Adviser Stephen Bechtel Graduate Program in Rebecca Dupaix Mechanical Engineering °c Copyright by Neelesh Nandkumar Sarawate 2008 ABSTRACT Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloys (FSMAs) in the Ni-Mn-Ga system are a recent class of active materials that can generate magnetic ¯eld induced strains of 10% by twin-variant rearrangement. This work details an extensive analytical and experimental investigation of commercial single-crystal Ni-Mn-Ga under quasi-static and dynamic conditions with a view to exploring the material's sensing and actua- tion applications. The sensing e®ect of Ni-Mn-Ga is experimentally characterized by measuring the flux density and stress as a function of quasi-static strain loading at various ¯xed magnetic ¯elds. A bias magnetic ¯eld of 368 kA/m is shown to mark the transition from irreversible to reversible (pseudoelastic) stress-strain behavior. At this bias ¯eld, a reversible flux-density change of 0.15 Tesla is observed over a range of 5.8% strain. A constitutive model based on continuum thermodynamics is developed to describe the coupled magnetomechanical behavior of Ni-Mn-Ga. Me- chanical dissipation and the microstructure of Ni-Mn-Ga are incorporated through internal state variables. The constitutive response of the material is obtained by restricting the process through the second law of thermodynamics. The model is further modi¯ed to describe the actuation and blocked-force behavior under a uni¯ed framework. Blocked-force characterization shows that Ni-Mn-Ga exhibits a block- ing stress of 1.47 MPa and work capacity of 72.4 kJ/m3. The model requires only ii seven parameters which can be obtained from two simple experiments. The model is physics-based, low-order and is therefore suitable for device and control design. The behavior of Ni-Mn-Ga under dynamic mechanical and magnetic excitations is addressed. First, a new approach is presented for modeling dynamic actuators with Ni-Mn-Ga as a drive element. The constitutive material model is used in conjunction with models for eddy current loss and lumped actuator dynamics to quantify the frequency dependent strain-¯eld hysteresis. Second, the magnetization response of Ni-Mn-Ga to dynamic strain loading of up to 160 Hz is characterized, which shows the response of Ni-Mn-Ga as a broadband sensor. A linear constitutive equation is used along with magnetic di®usion to model the dynamic behavior. Finally, the e®ect of changing magnetic ¯eld on the resonance frequency of Ni-Mn- Ga is characterized by conducting mechanical base excitation tests. The measured ¯eld induced resonance frequency shift of 35% indicates that Ni-Mn-Ga is well suited for vibration absorption applications requiring electrically-tunable sti®ness. Ferromagnetic shape memory Ni-Mn-Ga is thus demonstrated as a multi-functional smart material with possible applications in sensing, actuation, and vibration control which require large deformation, low force, tunable sti®ness and fast response. Other applications being investigated elsewhere such as energy harvesting further expand the application potential of Ni-Mn-Ga. The physics-based constitutive model along with the models for dynamic magnetic and mechanical processes provide a thorough understanding of the complex magnetomechanical behavior. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude towards my advisor Prof. Marcelo Dapino, for his continuous guidance, understanding, and patience during my Ph.D. study.

  • The Mathematical Modeling of Magnetostriction
    THE MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF MAGNETOSTRICTION Katherine Shoemaker A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTERS OF ART May 2018 Committee: So-Hsiang Chou, Advisor Kit Chan Tong Sun c 2018 Katherine Shoemaker All rights reserved iii ABSTRACT So-Hsiang Chou, Advisor In this thesis, we study a system of differential equations that are used to model the material deformation due to magnetostriction both theoretically and numerically. The ordinary differential system is a mathematical model for a much more complex physical system established in labo- ratories. We are able to clarify that the phenomenon of double frequency is more delicate than originally suspected from pure physical considerations. It is shown that except for special cases, genuine double frequency does not arise. In particular, simulation results using the lab data is consistent with the experiment. iv I dedicate this work to my family. Even if they don’t understand it, they understand so much more. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Chou. He has truly inspired me and made my graduate experience worthwhile. His guidance, both intellectually and spiritually, helped me through all the time spent researching and writing this thesis. I could not have asked for a better advisor, or a better instructor and I am truly appreciative of all the support he gave.

  • Magnetostrictive Properties of Mn0.70Zn0.24Fe2.06O4 Ferrite
    materials Article Magnetostrictive Properties of Mn0.70Zn0.24Fe2.06O4 Ferrite Adam Bie ´nkowskiand Roman Szewczyk * Institute of Metrology and Biomedical Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology, 02-525 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-609-464741 Received: 18 September 2018; Accepted: 1 October 2018; Published: 3 October 2018 Abstract: This paper presents the results of measurements of magnetostrictive properties of Mn0.70Zn0.24Fe2.06O4 ferrite for power applications. Frame-shaped samples were used for measurements to guarantee a uniform magnetizing field and magnetostrictive strain distribution. Magnetostrictive hysteresis loops were measured by semiconductor strain gauges. The results indicate that the magnetostrictive characteristic of Mn0.70Zn0.24Fe2.06O4 ferrite is non-monotonic and magnetostriction changes have opposite signs for higher values of the magnetizing field. Keywords: power ferrites; Mn-Zn ferrites; magnetostriction 1. Introduction Magnetostriction is the most important magnetomechanical effect connected with the changes of the size of sample made of magnetic material subjected to a magnetizing field. In spite of the fact that the magnetostriction effect was described first in 1847 by Joule [1], this phenomenon is still not fully understood. Previously presented models of magnetostriction [2,3] are rather a general, qualitative explanation of magnetostriction mechanisms. Quantitative understanding of the magnetostrictive characteristics requires quantum effects-based models [4], which are still under development. In spite of the lack of sufficient quantitative models, magnetostriction has a great technical importance. Magnetostrictive strain is the main source of acoustic noise generated by transformers [5]. Moreover, magnetostriction can cause noise in signals from inductive components.

    Magneto-strictive, Magneto-rheological & Ferrofluidic Materials Corso Materiali intelligenti e Biomimetici 2/04/2020 [email protected] Magnetic Properties Magnetic Permeability: indicates how easily a material can be magnetized. It is a constant of proportionality that exists between magnetic induction and magnetic field intensity. µr =µ/µ0 (relative permeability) -6 µ0=1.26 x 10 H/m in free space (vacuum) • Materials that cause the lines of flux to move farther apart, resulting in a decrease in magnetic flux density compared with a vacuum, are called diamagnetic; • materials that concentrate magnetic flux are called paramagnetic (non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum); • materials that concentrate the flux by a factor of more than ten are called ferromagnetic (iron, steel, nickel). Magnetic Properties • Diamagnetic: dipoles formed under the applied field H-> oriented in an opposite direction with respect to the applied H (no net magnetization) • Paramagnetic: existing random dipoles -> oriented in the same direction of the applied H (small magnetization) • Ferromagnetic: existing alligned dipoles -> oriented in the same direction of the applied H (large magnetization) domains Magneto-strictive materials (MS) Ferromagnetic materials have a structure that is divided into domains (regions of uniform magnetic polarization). When a magnetic field is applied, the domains rotate causing a change in the material dimensions. Magnetostriction is a property of ferromagnetic materials that causes them to change in shape of materials under the influence of an external magnetic field. Magnetostriction is a reversible exchange of energy between the mechanical and the magnetic domain (magneto-mechanical coupling). Magnetostriction The reason that a rotation of the magnetic domains of a material results in a change in the materials dimensions is a consequence of magneto-crystalline anisotropy: it takes more energy to magnetize a crystalline material in one direction than another.

  • Magnetic Materials: Soft Magnets
    Magnetic Materials: Soft Magnets Soft magnetic materials are those materials that are easily magnetised and demagnetised. They typically have intrinsic coercivity less than 1000 Am-1. They are used primarily to enhance and/or channel the flux produced by an electric current. The main parameter, often used as a figure of merit for soft magnetic materials, is the relative permeability (µr, where µr = B/ µoH), which is a measure of how readily the material responds to the applied magnetic field. The other main parameters of interest are the coercivity, the saturation magnetisation and the electrical conductivity. The types of applications for soft magnetic materials fall into two main categories: AC and DC. In DC applications the material is magnetised in order to perform an operation and then demagnetised at the conclusion of the operation, e.g. an electromagnet on a crane at a scrap yard will be switched on to attract the scrap steel and then switched off to drop the steel. In AC applications the material will be continuously cycled from being magnetised in one direction to the other, throughout the period of operation, e.g. a power supply transformer. A high permeability will be desirable for each type of application but the significance of the other properties varies. For DC applications the main consideration for material selection is most likely to be the permeability. This would be the case, for example, in shielding applications where the flux must be channelled through the material. Where the material is used to generate a magnetic field or to create a force then the saturation magnetisation may also be significant.

  • Beyond a Phenomenological Description of Magnetostriction
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-02730-7 OPEN Beyond a phenomenological description of magnetostriction A.H. Reid et al.# Magnetostriction, the strain induced by a change in magnetization, is a universal effect in magnetic materials. Owing to the difficulty in unraveling its microscopic origin, it has been largely treated phenomenologically. Here, we show how the source of magnetostriction—the — 1234567890():,; underlying magnetoelastic stress can be separated in the time domain, opening the door for an atomistic understanding. X-ray and electron diffraction are used to separate the sub- picosecond spin and lattice responses of FePt nanoparticles. Following excitation with a 50-fs laser pulse, time-resolved X-ray diffraction demonstrates that magnetic order is lost within the nanoparticles with a time constant of 146 fs. Ultrafast electron diffraction reveals that this demagnetization is followed by an anisotropic, three-dimensional lattice motion. Analysis of the size, speed, and symmetry of the lattice motion, together with ab initio calculations accounting for the stresses due to electrons and phonons, allow us to reveal the magne- toelastic stress generated by demagnetization.

The model quanti¯es the magnetization changes that a magnetostrictive material undergoes when subjected to a dc excitation ¯eld and variable stresses. The magnetic behavior is characterized by considering the Jiles-Atherton mean ¯eld theory for ferromagnetic hysteresis, which is constructed from a thermodynamic balance between the energy available for magnetic moment rotation and the energy lost as domain walls attach to and detach from pinning sites. The e®ect of stress on magnetization is quanti¯ed through a law of approach to the anhysteretic magnetization. Elastic properties of the sensor are incorporated by means of a wave equation that quanti¯es the strains and stresses arising in response to moment rotations. This yields a nonlinear PDE system for the strains, stresses and magnetization state of a magnetostrictive transducer as it drives or is driven by external loads.

In this work, based on modern web application frameworks, the online app MAELASviewer has been developed to visualize and analyze magnetostriction via a user-friendly interactive graphical interface. The features and technical details of this new tool are described in detail. Among other applications, it could potentially be used for the design of magnetostrictive materials for sensors and actuators. Keywords: magnetostriction; magnetoelastic effects; graphical user interface; web application; visualization 1. Introduction Magnetostriction is a physical phenomenon in which the process of magnetization induces a change in the shape or dimension of a magnetic material. These materials have the advantage that their magnetostrictive properties do not degrade over time as is the case for some poled piezoelectric materials, in addition to their good performance in terms of strains, forces, energy densities, and coupling coefficients [1]. As a result, magnetostrictive materials are widely used in many technological applications like sensors (torque sensors, motion and position sensors, force and stress sensors) and actuators (sonar transducers, linear motors, rotational motors, and hybrid magnetostrictive/piezoelectric devices) where a high magnetostriction is required [2–4].
