11 April 2007Elastic and magneto-elastic modeling of Galfenol nanowires
This paper presents a magneto-elastic model developed by coupling a finite element elastic and magnetic
formulations with an energy based probabilistic magnetostrictive model. Unidirectional coupled model is
presented first for both sensor and actuator applications and then a fully coupled bidirectional model is developed.
The unidirectional sensor model was validated against experimental results for a 1.58 mm diameter and 32.74 mm
long Galfenol cantilever beam. The model was further used to investigate the response of Galfenol nanowire array
that will be used in a nanowire acoustic sensor. Model predictions suggest that differences in the phase of bending
motion of nanowires in an array will not produce a significant effect on the magnetic response of the array. It also
predicts that the response of a single nanowire can be measured by a magnetic sensor with active measurement
area much larger than the nanowire dimensions.
