Modeling and experiments of a laminated magnetostrictive cantilever beam

A nonlinear modeling of magnetostrictive cantilever beam actuators is proposed by integrating an energy-based constitutive magnetostrictive model with the classical laminated beam theory in this article. The composite stiffness and the magnetic field are identified as the critical parameters which s...
