Modeling of Effect of Plastic Deformation on Barkhausen Noise and Magnetoacoustic Emission in Iron With 2% Silicon

Abstract

Before one models the effect of plastic deformation on magnetoacoustic emission (MAE), one must first treat non-180 domain wall motion. In this paper, we take the Alessandro‐Beatrice‐Bertotti‐Montorsi (ABBM) model and modify it to treat non-180 wall motion. We then insert a modified stress-dependent Jiles‐Atherton model, which treats plastic deformation, into the modified ABBM model to treat MAE and magnetic Barkhausen noise (HBN). Infitting the dependence of these quantities on plastic deformation, we apply a model for when deformation gets into the stage where dislocation tangles are formed, noting two chief effects, one due to increased density of emission centers owing to increased dislocation density, and the other due to a more gentle increase in the residual stress in the vicinity of the dislocation tangles as deformation is increased.
