Mechanics of Magnetostrictive Materials and Structures demonstrates the practical applications and uses for this cutting-edge smart material. Exploring the analytical and numerical solution procedures and characteristics of metamaterials more generally, the book details how these respond to external factors.
Exceptionally adjustable and adaptable, magnetostrictive materials are artificial structures that provide distinctive physical properties. Providing clear illustrations throughout, this book provides a comprehensive guide to the theory and its applications. Presenting the mathematical tools needed to analyse magnetostrictive materials and structures, through the use of MATLAB, the book will also detail static analysis. Comprehensively assessing the practicalities of this smart material, it also discusses vibration and buckling under different loads, alongside dynamic behaviour.
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.
