Magnetostriction Theory & Applications of Magnetoelasticity

This outstanding reference provides a comprehensive discussion of magnetoelasticity based on three accepted descriptions of magnetostriction: elastomagnetic matrices, a group symmetrical description, and a tensor formalism. It explores recent advances that rely mainly on Callen's work and emphasizes the influence of temperature, stress, and composition on the Joule magnetostriction of soft ferromagnets.
The author offers a comprehensive examination of magnetoelastic effects useful for a variety of significant applications, including the Villari-, direct and inverse Wiedemann-, Matteuci-, ?E-, and invar-effects. This vital work also addresses fundamental topics, including pressure dependence of the Curie temperature, form effect, and magnetostriction in paramagnets, diamagnets, superconductors, and antiferromagnets. The last chapter is devoted to technical aspects such as experimental methods, technically useful materials (e.g., Terfenol-D and 2605SC Metglas), and various illustrative applications. Magnetostriction is one reference no physicist, materials scientist, or geophysicist should be without.
