    Mechanics of Magnetostrictive Materials and Structures

    demonstrates the practical applications and uses for cutting-edge smart magnetostrictive materials. Exploring the analytical and numerical solution procedures and characteristics of these materials more generally, the book details how these materials respond to external factors. Exceptionally adjustable and adaptable, magnetostrictive materials are artifcial structures that offer distinctive physical properties. Providing clear illustrations throughout, this book includes a comprehensive guide to the theory and its applications.  Comprehensively assessing the practicalities of these smart materials, it also discusses vibration and buckling under different loads, alongside dynamic behavior.

    Features:

    •  Presents vibration analysis of magnetostrictive materials and structures
    •  Demonstrates and analyzes the effect of implementing boundary conditions on the mechanical responses of magnetostrictive structures
    •  Examines the use of smart materials in engineering structures

    Aimed at students and professionals working in the field of mechanics, materials and dynamics, the book is an essential guide to this rapidly developing area.

    Chapter 1. An Introduction to Magnetostrictive Materials and Structures. Chapter 2. Static Analysis of Magnetostrictive Materials and Structures. Chapter 3. Vibration Analysis of Magnetostrictive Materials and Structures. Chapter 4. Wave Propagation of Magnetostrictive Materials and Structures. Chapter 5. Dynamic Analysis of Magnetostrictive Materials and Structures.
