mechatronicsTOPICActive vibration control using magnetostrictivetransducers
Fiber optic devices in mechatronicsmagnetostrictionMagnetostriction is a property of ferromagnetic materials that causes them to change their shape or dimensions during the process of magnetization. The variation of material's magnetization due to the applied magnetic field changes the magnetostrictive strain until reaching its saturation value, λ.
Magnetostrictive materialMagnetostriction is a property of certain material(nickel,iron,cobalt and respective alloys).
Magnetostrictive  materials can convert magnetic energy into kinetic energy, or the reverse, and are used to build actuators and sensors.
Capable to produce strain on the order of 2000ppm.transducer
Active vibration control using magnetostrictive transducerVibration of a structure is reduced by applying counter force to the structure that is appropriate out of phase but equal in force and amplitude to the orginal vibration.
