Dear all,

I have a sphere of Terfenol-D in air as you know Terfenol-D is a magnetostrictive material, so when you apply a magnetic field its changes its shape.

I want to model this thing in COMSOL that i want to apply a certain magnetic field and see how the shape of the sphere is deformed and by how much ?

Does any one has any idea that how can i do that. I have attached a picture of the my model the middle sphere is Terfenol-D and the torus around is silica.

Regards
Syeda,

Hi,

There is an instructive model called 'Nonlinear Magnetostrictive Transducer' in the Model Library.

Hi there,

I'm trying to solve a similar problem, however, I want to define the current density to change over time to see how displacement/strain of the magnetostrictive material varies over time. What is the best way to do this?

Also, I'm trying to use a time-dependent solver and when I run compute, it throws up an error as given below
---
Failed to find consistent initial values.
Last time step is not converged.
---
I am in the process of understanding how to solve such problems and any pointers would be useful.

Update 1. Now I have another error as below

---
Messages:
Nonlinear solver did not converge

Maximum number of Newton iterations reached

Time X#1.837969443133324e-08

Last time step is not converged

... 12 more
----
Are there any parameters that I'm missing to change while solving for a time-dependent study? Thanks

Cheers,
Varun.

At version 5.2a, the Structural Mechanics Module includes a pre-implemented interface for modeling magnetostriction: www.comsol.com/release/5.2a/structural-mechanics-module .
Best regards,
Jeff

Hello, I'm also study magnetostrictive material, I want to study the nonlinear coupling stress constitutive, can you add my QQ contact 383156448 or email ： sxycyzhj@sina.cn

thank you
