Magnetostriction is the property that causes ferromagnetic materials to change shape in a magnetic field. It is the source of the 60-cycle buzz you hear from electrical transformers.

THIS communication is concerned with the anomalous phenomenon occasionally found in examining the magnetostriction of the ‘grain-orientated’ silicon–iron sheets, and it was believed to be a ...

The magnetostriction effect can also appear under high loads. For example, using magnetostriction, it is possible to move multi-ton mirrors of a space telescope without serious efforts.

An often-overlooked solution involves magnetostrictive linear-position sensors (Fig. 1). A surprising number of engineers I have interacted with did not know these were available. Strange ...

Power generation using reverse magnetostriction is a new one on me. The idea is: get a rod of a magnetostictive material like iron-aluminium or ...
