Internal Stress Distribution Theory of Magnetomechanical Hysteresis‐An Extension to Include Effects of Magnetic Field and Applied Stress

The internal stress distribution theory of magnetomechanical damping is modified and extended to include effects of applied magnetic fields and applied static stresses. The present internal stress distribution function yields Rayleigh behavior at low vibration stress and has a more realistic shape than that of the previous model. The theory, besides giving a qualitative description of the damping behavior as a function of vibration stress, agrees quite well with measurements of the dependence of the damping maximum on applied field and static stress.
