Abstract
This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study on high-frequency (>5000 Hz) output characteristics of the giant magnetostrictive transducer (GMT) at varied operating conditions. Based on the Jiles–Atherton model, Maxwell’s equations, Newton’s law, and Fourier’s heat transfer equation, a nonlinear electromagnetic–mechanical–thermal multi-field coupled finite element model for GMT is established. The output displacement amplitude of the magnetostrictive rod and the acceleration of vibrating horn at the GMT device are measured and analyzed at varied exciting amplitude of ac magnetic field and frequencies (from 5600 to 7000 Hz). The frequency dependences of permeability and magnetoelastic coupling coefficient obtained from the experimental results are used in revising the model parameters. These output characteristics analysis results can provide theoretical and experimental guidance in the optimization of structural design and precise controlling for high-frequency GMT system.
