Development of a Novel Linear Magnetostrictive Actuator
This dissertation presents the development of a novel linear magnetostrictive actuator. The magnetostrictive material used here is Terfenol-D, an alloy of the formula Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.92. In response to a traveling magnetic field inside the Terfenol-D element, it moves in the opposite direction with a...
