Talk:Magnetostriction

what is effect of magnetostriction on dry type of transformer to reduce the noise produced by magnetostriction effect.

Hum

120hz or 60hz hum near transformers? RJFJR 20:06, May 2, 2005 (UTC)

I would imagine both, plus harmonics. [1]. Also 50 or 100 in other countries. - Omegatron 20:43, May 2, 2005 (UTC)

Hi all, I removed the bit on the frequency being multiples of 100Hz or 120Hz. The dominant harmonics in a big power transformer are mostly odd, and the injection of even harmonics is heavily restricted. But that's irrelevant either way to the discussion of magnetostriction. 18.62.13.152 (talk) 02:39, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Does anyone know if this is also the source of the noise in an MRI? NubinskiMXM

Basically, yes it is. It's the movement of scanning coils in response to the changing magnetic field.Cpmartin (talk) 14:14, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Is it me or is that OGG of 60Hz hum completely f*cked? Doesn't sound like any mains hum I've ever heard. Sounds more like a slowed-down recording of a budgie. If anyone's got anything more typically illustrative that would be good!Cpmartin (talk) 14:14, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Magnetomechanical Effect

Someone should add a short section on the Magnetomechanical effect (the inverse of magnetostriction) in the article.

A good reference is in Introduction to Magnetism and Magnetic Materials By David Jiles, towards the back of the book if i can remember clearly.

I know I should, but I am too lazy! and too busy of cause. ;-p

I have added a link to Inverse magnetostrictive effect, does this help? Marechad (talk) 18:34, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Animation is distracting

The animation image on this article is distracting, makes it hard to read. It is often recommended to avoid animations, see for example http://www.useit.com/alertbox/990502.html or http://universalusability.com/access_by_design/images/animated.html - recommend replacing the animation with static image(s). --mcld (talk) 07:08, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

P.S. wkp's policy recommends against animated images being inlined in articles: Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Animated_images --mcld (talk) 07:11, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

• I'd have to disagree; this is an AC effect that cannot be illustrated well with a static image. The Wikipedia policy is to use animations sparingly, notwithstanding the opinion on useit.com. -W0lfie (talk) 16:12, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

What exactly is it illustrating? What does the grey arrow represent? Magnetostriction is not inherently an AC effect, so an animation confuses the issue. RockMagnetist (talk) 14:16, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Applications of Magnetostriction?

1. Magnetostriction is the working principle of magnetostriction oscillator which is used to produce ultrasonic waves of frequencies up to 3MHz. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.203.81.8 (talk) 03:15, 13 August 2011

change in length

As the reference given at the bottom of article does, I believe it should be clearly stated that change in length can either be positive or negative:

The coefficient Λ may be positive or negative — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.45.158.211 (talk) 10:43, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Magnetostriction in antiferromagnets and ferrimagnets

Magnetostriction does not only occur in ferromagentic materials.

For ferrimagnets such as TbFe2 and DyFe2 see: Clark, A. E.; Belson, H. S. (1972): Giant Room-Temperature Magnetostrictions in Tb Fe2 and Dy Fe2. In: Phys. Rev. B 5 (9), S. 3642–3644. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.5.3642.

Antiferromagnets such as the rare earth elements such as Dy and Ho see: Darnell, F. J. (1963): Temperature Dependence of Lattice Parameters for Gd, Dy, and Ho. In: Phys. Rev. 130 (5), S. 1825–1828. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRev.130.1825. or: Darnell, F. J. (1963): Magnetostriction in Dysprosium and Terbium. In: Phys. Rev. 132 (1), S. 128–133. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRev.132.128.

thus I would vote for changing the first sentence of the article to: Magnetostriction (cf. electrostriction) is a general property of magnetic materials that causes them to change their shape or dimensions during the process of magnetization. --Goldfinger25 (talk) 12:04, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Good point. I have changed the wording as you suggest. If I have time later, I'll incorporate your sources into the section on magnetostrictive materials. Or you could do it. RockMagnetist(talk) 18:14, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

The above 2019 paper is a primary source, and the text at the end of the "Constitutive behavior of magnetostrictive materials" subsection isn't particularly encyclopedic. I'm going to remove it all if nobody states a convincing objection.--Quisqualis (talk) 05:27, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
