A Stress-Dependent Hysteresis Model for Ferromagnetic Transducer Materials

This paper focuses on the development of a model which characterizes the nonlinear and hysteretic stress-dependence inherent to magnetic transducer materials operating in high drive regimes. The model builds upon a previous ferromagnetic characterization framework based on energy analysis at the lattice level in combination with stochastic homogenization techniques. Aspects of the stress-dependent magnetomechanical model are illustrated through comparison with experimental steel data.Copyright © 2005 by ASME
