Both the mathematic and simulation models of the micro-pump were built.A set of raw data was used for simulation studies.The results show that the micro-pump based on GMA has achieved the features of high-frequency response and high accuracy, theoretically displaying the performance merits of a giant magnetostrictive material (GMM) high-frequency micro-pump.

Novel mechanism for boring non-cylinder piston pinhole based on giant magnetostrictive materials

To bear more loads for heavy truck pistons, the shape of heavy truck piston pinhole is often designed as noncylinder form. Current methods cannot meet the needs for precision machining on non-cylinder piston pinhole （NCPPH）. A novel mechanism based on giant magnetostrictive materials （GMM） is presented. New models are established for the servo mechanism, GMM, and magnetizing force of the control solenoid to characterize the relationship between the control current of the solenoid and the displacement of the giant magnetostrictive actuator （GMA）. Experiments show that the novel mechanism can meet the needs to perform fine machining on NCPPH effectively.

Design and Magnetic Field Uniformity of Giant Magnetostrictive Ultrasonic Transducer for Progressive Sheet Forming

Design of a giant magnetostrictive ultrasonic transducer for progressive sheet forming was presented.A dynamic analysis of the theoretically designed ultrasonic vibration system was carried out using the finite element method(FEM).In addition,simulations were performed to verify the theoretical design.Then,a magnetically conductive material was added between the giant magnetostrictive rod and the permanent magnet.Besides,magnetic field simulations of the transducer were performed.The influence of the material thickness of the magnetically conductive material on uniformity of the induced magnetic field was studied.Furthermore,the impedance analysis and amplitude measurement were performed to compare the performance of transducers with and without the magnetically conductive material.The experimental results show that the magnetic field uniformity is the highest when the magnetically conductive material has a thickness of about 1.6 mm.The output amplitude of the giant magnetostrictive transducer is improved by adding the magnetically conductive material.Moreover,the mechanical quality factor and impedance are reduced,while the transducer operates more stably.

VIBRATION SUPPRESSION OF CANTILEVER LAMINATED COMPOSITE PLATE WITH NONLINEAR GIANT MAGNETOSTRICTIVE MATERIAL LAYERS

In this paper, a nonlinear and coupled constitutive model for giant magnetostrictive materials （GMM） is employed to predict the active vibration suppression process of cantilever laminated composite plate with GMM layers. The nonlinear and coupled constitutive model has great advantages in demonstrating the inherent and complicated nonlinearities of GMM in re- sponse to applied magnetic field under variable bias conditions （pre-stress and bias magnetic field）. The Hamilton principle is used to derive the nonlinear and coupled governing differential equation for a cantilever laminated composite plate with GMM layers. The derived equation is handled by the finite element method （FEM） in space domain, and solved with Newmark method and an iteration process in time domain. The numerical simulation results indicate that the proposed active control system by embedding GMM layers in cantilever laminated composite plate can efficiently suppress vibrations under variable bias conditions. The effects of embedded placement of GMM layers and control gain on vibration suppression are discussed respectively in detail.

Tailoring coercive field in rare earth giant magnetostrictive materials byα-Fe precipitation

Rare earth giant magnetostrictive materials(GMMs)Tb_(1-x)Dy_(x)Fe_(2±δ)(Tb-Dy-Fe)have been successfully employed in many microelectromechanical devices due to their excellent magnetostrictive properties at room temperature.However,Tb-Dy-Fe still shows a relatively large coercivity with high hysteresis,which inevitably limits its application range.Herein,micromagnetic simulations are performed to investigate the size effect of precipitated phase(α-Fe)on coercivity in Tb-Dy-Fe.Simulation results demonstrate that the coercivity is reduced from 31.46 to 12.48 mT with increasing the size ofα-Fe from 4 to 50 nm in Tb-Dy-Fe since the precipitated phase ofα-Fe can act as a magnetization reversal nucleus.This decreasing trend of coercivity can be well fitted with an inverse square relationship,which agrees well with the nucleation theory.Our study highlights that the coercivity of Tb-Dy-Fe can be tailored by tuning the size ofα-Fe precipitation.

A Supersonic Aerodynamic Energy Harvester:A Functionally Graded Material Beam with a Giant Magnetostrictive Thin Film

In this study,a simply supported functionally graded material beam with a giant magnetostrictive thin film(GMF)was selected as an energy harvester.Based on the theory of large deformation and the Villari effect of GMF,piston theory was used to simulate the dynamic equation of the whole structure under supersonic aerodynamic pressure and in a thermal environment by using Hamilton^principle,and the energy harvesting effect of GMF was simulated by using a Runge-Kutta algorithm.Below the critical flutter velocity,the maximum voltage output and energy harvesting results were discussed as they were affected by external factors such as the geometric model of structure parameters,slenderness ratio,gradient index,number of turns of an electromagnetic coil,airflow velocity,and temperature.The electromechanical coupling coefficient/C33 was 71%.The results show that this proposed harvester can achieve an optimal harvesting effect by adjusting the parameters appropriately,and collect energy in thermal and supersonic environments using the GMF,which provides power to sensors of the health monitoring system of the aircraft’s own structure.
