Abstract
Two dimensional solutions of the magnetic field and magneto elastic stress are presented for a magnetic material of a thin strip with a semi-elliptical notch subjected to uniform magnetic field. The strip is a finite plate of a simply connected region. A linear constitutive equation is used for the stress analysis. According to the electro-magneto theory, only Maxwell stress is caused as a body force in a plate. Therefore, the magneto elastic stress is analyzed using Maxwell stress. In the present problem, as a result, the plane stress state does not arise, and the σ z in the direction of the plate thickness and the shear deflection (anti-plane shear stress) arise for soft ferromagnetic material. The stress σ z in the plate is strong compressive stress for a soft ferromagnetic material. A rational mapping function is used for the stress analysis, and the each solution is obtained as a closed form. No further assumption of the plane stress state that the plate is thin is made for the stress analysis, though Maxwell stress components are expressed by nonlinear terms. The rigorous boundary condition is completely satisfied without any linear assumptions on the boundary. The anti-plane shear stress causes Mode III stress intensity factor when the notch is a crack. Stress concentration values are investigated for a notch problem, of which expression is given. Figures of the anti-plane shear stress distribution, Mode III stress intensity factor, and stress concentration values are shown.
