Abstract

A computational model for the quasistatic and dynamical response of Galfenol based magnetostrictive devices in the sensing configuration is presented. The model calculates the fraction of magnetic moments oriented along the preferred orientations within the crystal as a function of time using a self-consistent rate equation technique. These magnetic moment fractions are then used to determine the total magnetization as a function of time. The model is compared to experiments for uniaxial, compressive, and quasistatic loading. Predictive calculations are presented for dynamical loading. Eddy currents and finite transition times lead to increasing hysteresis as the frequency increases.
