There are several Sm-Fe intermetallic compounds such as Sm&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;Fe&lt;sub&gt;17&lt;/sub&gt;, SmFe&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;, SmFe&lt;sub&gt;3 &lt;/sub&gt;phases in the Sm-Fe alloys.&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Among them, the Sm&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;Fe&lt;sub&gt;17&lt;/sub&gt; intermetallic compound has been studied for permanent magnet application.&lt;sup&gt;2-4&lt;/sup&gt; The Sm&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;Fe&lt;sub&gt;17&lt;/sub&gt;N&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; compound possesses a large anisotropy field and a high saturation magnetization and has been prepared in Sm&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;Fe&lt;sub&gt;17&lt;/sub&gt;N&lt;sub&gt;3 &lt;/sub&gt;powder. Sm-Fe-N bulk magnets cannot be produced by the sintering of Sm-Fe-N powder, however, due to the poor thermal properties of the powder.&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; Therefore, it would be desirable if the magnetic properties of the Sm&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;Fe&lt;sub&gt;17&lt;/sub&gt; phase could be increased without the need for nitrogenation. Although several studies were carried out on the Sm&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;Fe&lt;sub&gt;17&lt;/sub&gt; phase at the early stage of such research, relatively little attention has been paid to this material due to their easy-plane anisotropy. We have continued to study the Sm&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;Fe&lt;sub&gt;17&lt;/sub&gt;-type phase with the additions of both Ti and Zr to Sm&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;Fe&lt;sub&gt;17&lt;/sub&gt;-type alloys. The structures and magnetic properties of (Sm,Zr)Fe&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; and (Sm,Zr)(Fe,Ti)&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; melt-spun ribbons are discussed.&lt;br/&gt;(Sm&lt;sub&gt;1-x&lt;/sub&gt;Zr&lt;sub&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt;)Fe&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; (x = 0–0.3) and (Sm&lt;sub&gt;1-x&lt;/sub&gt;Zr&lt;sub&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt;)Fe&lt;sub&gt;9.5&lt;/sub&gt;Ti&lt;sub&gt;0.5 &lt;/sub&gt;(x = 0–0.3) alloy ingots were prepared by induction melting in an argon atmosphere. Small amounts of the alloy ingots were induction melted under an argon atmosphere in a quartz crucible and then ejected through an orifice with argon onto a chromium-coated copper wheel rotating at a surface velocity of 50 m/s. The pulverized melt-spun ribbons were annealed at 973-1273 K for 1 h under an argon atmosphere. The phases in the specimens were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The hysteresis loops of the specimens were measured at room temperature using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM).&lt;br/&gt;The SmFe&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; melt-spun ribbon showed a narrow hysteresis loop with a coercivity less than 1 kOe. The substitution of Zr for Sm in the SmFe&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; melt-spun ribbon did not change the structure and magnetic properties. Thus, heat treatment of these specimens was carried out to increase the coercivity. Annealing resulted in an increase in coercivity of the (Sm&lt;sub&gt;1-x&lt;/sub&gt;Zr&lt;sub&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt;)Fe&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; (x = 0–0.3) specimens. Figure 1 shows the hysteresis loops of the (Sm&lt;sub&gt;1-x&lt;/sub&gt;Zr&lt;sub&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt;)Fe&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; (x = 0–0.3) melt-spun ribbons annealed at 1073 K. The maximum coercivity of 1.8 kOe was obtained in the (Sm&lt;sub&gt;0.9&lt;/sub&gt;Zr&lt;sub&gt;0.1&lt;/sub&gt;)Fe&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; melt-spun ribbon when annealed at 1073 K.&lt;br/&gt;Next, (Sm&lt;sub&gt;1-x&lt;/sub&gt;Zr&lt;sub&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt;)Fe&lt;sub&gt;9.5&lt;/sub&gt;Ti&lt;sub&gt;0.5 &lt;/sub&gt;(x = 0–0.3) melt-spun ribbons were prepared and the effect of the substitution of Ti for Fe in the SmFe&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; alloy was investigated. The substitution of Ti for Fe in the (Sm&lt;sub&gt;1-x&lt;/sub&gt;Zr&lt;sub&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt;)Fe&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; (x = 0–0.3) melt-spun ribbon resulted in the formation of the amorphous phase. The (Sm&lt;sub&gt;1-x&lt;/sub&gt;Zr&lt;sub&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt;)Fe&lt;sub&gt;9.5&lt;/sub&gt;Ti&lt;sub&gt;0.5 &lt;/sub&gt;(x = 0–0.3) melt-spun ribbons showed a narrow hysteresis loop with a coercivity less than 0.5 kOe, regardless of the Zr content. However, heat treatment of these specimens resulted in a large increase in coercivity. Figure 2 shows the hysteresis loops of the (Sm&lt;sub&gt;1-x&lt;/sub&gt;Zr&lt;sub&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt;)Fe&lt;sub&gt;9.5&lt;/sub&gt;Ti&lt;sub&gt;0.5&lt;/sub&gt; (x = 0–0.3) melt-spun ribbons annealed at 1173 K. The maximum coercivity of 4.5 kOe was obtained in the (Sm&lt;sub&gt;0.7&lt;/sub&gt;Zr&lt;sub&gt;0.3&lt;/sub&gt;)Fe&lt;sub&gt;9.5&lt;/sub&gt;Ti&lt;sub&gt;0.5&lt;/sub&gt; melt-spun ribbon when annealed at 1173 K. The XRD study revealed that the annealed specimen mainly consisted of the Th&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;Zn&lt;sub&gt;17&lt;/sub&gt;-type phase.&lt;br/&gt;In conclusion, the specimens with higher Zr and Ti content tended to exhibit a higher coercivity than those with lower Zr and Ti content. The highest coercivity of 4.5 kOe was achieved in the annealed (Sm&lt;sub&gt;0.7&lt;/sub&gt;Zr&lt;sub&gt;0.3&lt;/sub&gt;)Fe&lt;sub&gt;9.5&lt;/sub&gt;Ti&lt;sub&gt;0.5&lt;/sub&gt; melt-spun ribbon with the h&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;Zn&lt;sub&gt;17&lt;/sub&gt;-type phase.

There are several Sm-Fe intermetallic compounds such as Sm2Fe17, SmFe2, SmFe3 phases in the Sm-Fe alloys.1 Among them, the Sm2Fe17 intermetallic compound has been studied for permanent magnet application.2-4 The Sm2Fe17N3 compound possesses a large anisotropy field and a high saturation magnetization and has been prepared in Sm2Fe17N3 powder. Sm-Fe-N bulk magnets cannot be produced by the sintering of Sm-Fe-N powder, however, due to the poor thermal properties of the powder.5 Therefore, it would be desirable if the magnetic properties of the Sm2Fe17 phase could be increased without the need for nitrogenation. Although several studies were carried out on the Sm2Fe17 phase at the early stage of such research, relatively little attention has been paid to this material due to their easy-plane anisotropy. We have continued to study the Sm2Fe17-type phase with the additions of both Ti and Zr to Sm2Fe17-type alloys. The structures and magnetic properties of (Sm,Zr)Fe10 and (Sm,Zr)(Fe,Ti)10 melt-spun ribbons are discussed. (Sm1-xZrx)Fe10 (x = 0–0.3) and (Sm1-xZrx)Fe9.5Ti0.5 (x = 0–0.3) alloy ingots were prepared by induction melting in an argon atmosphere. Small amounts of the alloy ingots were induction melted under an argon atmosphere in a quartz crucible and then ejected through an orifice with argon onto a chromium-coated copper wheel rotating at a surface velocity of 50 m/s. The pulverized melt-spun ribbons were annealed at 973-1273 K for 1 h under an argon atmosphere. The phases in the specimens were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The hysteresis loops of the specimens were measured at room temperature using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The SmFe10 melt-spun ribbon showed a narrow hysteresis loop with a coercivity less than 1 kOe. The substitution of Zr for Sm in the SmFe10 melt-spun ribbon did not change the structure and magnetic properties. Thus, heat treatment of these specimens was carried out to increase the coercivity. Annealing resulted in an increase in coercivity of the (Sm1-xZrx)Fe10 (x = 0–0.3) specimens. Figure 1 shows the hysteresis loops of the (Sm1-xZrx)Fe10 (x = 0–0.3) melt-spun ribbons annealed at 1073 K. The maximum coercivity of 1.8 kOe was obtained in the (Sm0.9Zr0.1)Fe10 melt-spun ribbon when annealed at 1073 K. Next, (Sm1-xZrx)Fe9.5Ti0.5 (x = 0–0.3) melt-spun ribbons were prepared and the effect of the substitution of Ti for Fe in the SmFe10 alloy was investigated. The substitution of Ti for Fe in the (Sm1-xZrx)Fe10 (x = 0–0.3) melt-spun ribbon resulted in the formation of the amorphous phase. The (Sm1-xZrx)Fe9.5Ti0.5 (x = 0–0.3) melt-spun ribbons showed a narrow hysteresis loop with a coercivity less than 0.5 kOe, regardless of the Zr content. However, heat treatment of these specimens resulted in a large increase in coercivity. Figure 2 shows the hysteresis loops of the (Sm1-xZrx)Fe9.5Ti0.5 (x = 0–0.3) melt-spun ribbons annealed at 1173 K. The maximum coercivity of 4.5 kOe was obtained in the (Sm0.7Zr0.3)Fe9.5Ti0.5 melt-spun ribbon when annealed at 1173 K. The XRD study revealed that the annealed specimen mainly consisted of the Th2Zn17-type phase. In conclusion, the specimens with higher Zr and Ti content tended to exhibit a higher coercivity than those with lower Zr and Ti content. The highest coercivity of 4.5 kOe was achieved in the annealed (Sm0.7Zr0.3)Fe9.5Ti0.5 melt-spun ribbon with the h2Zn17-type phase.

As a single solid element, the magnetoelectric (ME) gyrator has verified Tellegen's conjecture about the gyrator. In recent years, a number of attempts have been made to reduce losses in the energy conversion process. It is well known that the properties of spinel ferrites are dependent on such as composition, cation substitutions. A small contents of rare earth doping can modify the magnetic and magnetostrictive properties by replacing the tetrahedral (A) or octahedral (B) sites, which is beneficent to ME coupling1. It has been reported that Dy elements possess high magnetocrystalline anisotropy due to the strong anisotropy of the 4f electron clound, thus inducing strong magnetostriction2. However, due to the high loss in the energy conversion process of the pure spinel ferrite ME gyrator, it is necessary to improve the ability of energy capture by means of the change of magnetic properties caused by Dy3+ doping. Therefore, the research on the improvement of gyration properties caused by high magnetostriction induced by Dy3+ doped ferrite has been initiated. Here, a variety of ME gyrators composed of nickel zinc ferrite and piezoelectric ceramic under various Dy3+ concentration were fabricated with coil around it and systematically characterized of magnetic properties,dynamic piezomagnetic coefficient, resonance ME response, V/I-I/V conversion ratio and power conversion efficiency, and each stage involved in the magneto-mechanical-electric energy conversion process under influences of Dy3+ concentration was clarified. Fig.1 shows the V/I conversion ratio spectra of the ME gyrators with frequency, applied flied and Dy3+ concentration, respectively. It can be clearly seen that under the resonant frequency and optimal bias, the maximum V/I of 1610 V/A occurring at sample with x=0.04 while the minimum of 998 V/A occurring at the one with x=0. Compared with pure spinel ferrite, the conversion effect of the ME gyrators is improved by 161% by Dy3+ doping. The experimental results attributed to the strong ME coupling is caused by the high magnetocrystalline anisotropy of Dy3+. Therefore, it can be concluded that Dy3+ doping reduces the loss in the energy conversion process of ME gyrator and promotes the improvement of gyration properties. Consequently, the high gyration properties of ME gyrator has important potential application for miniaturized V/I converters for power electronics.

 Improvement of gyration effects by dysprosium doping in spinel ferrite/piezoelectric magnetoeletric gyrators

In recent years, energy harvester around power lines have received widely attention due to the convenient power supply for monitoring devices around power lines such as vibration and conductor temperature sensors, fault diagnosis and prediction devices, intelligent sensor monitoring devices etc. Generally, energy harvested from near power lines includes solar energy, wind energy, sound energy, vibration and magnetic field, and so on. In terms of reliability and stability, energy harvesting using magnetic fields has been reported as optimum mode to provide energy to monitoring devices around power lines. Compared to solar and wind energy sources, magnetic field energy is almost unaffected by the environment or weather conditions. Traditional magnetic energy harvesters are the best represented by electromagnetic induction energy harvesters. While featuring low cost and wide applicability, these electromagnetic induction energy harvesters are generally limited by large volume, heavy weight and low output power density[1]. The recent development of magnetoelectric (ME) materials enables novel electromagnetic devices. The ME energy harvester are composed of ME composites that show many excellent advantages, such as low cost, small volume perfect and high output power density[2]. These advantages offer the potential of ME energy harvesters to be a new generation of magnetic energy harvesters. Over the past decade, considerable reports have been published using ME materials to realize magnetic energy harvest. Previous investigations have focused on ME laminates whose piezoelectric/magnetostrictive layers are some simple configurations of disk, square, or rectangular shapes. However, for harvesting the magnetic energy around power lines, these geometries cannot make full use of the magnetic energy. In this case, the ME sample best geometry is the toroidal configuration. It is thus desirable to develop ME energy harvester with toroidal configuration, along with high output power density. This paper is on a high power density, dual-output ME energy harvester. It consisted of strictly concentric ferrites/piezoelectric rings with toroidal solenoid wound around that was operated in C-C mode. The electrode lead of the piezoelectric ring is port 1 and the coil lead is port 2 forming dual port. The ferrite in the collector senses the alternating magnetic field and transforms it into circumferential dynamic strain, which is transferred to the piezoelectric ring and finally output in the form of voltage from port 1. At the same time, according to the principle of electromagnetic induction, due to the existence of closed loop alternating magnetic field, the coil will produce induced electromotive force and output in the form of voltage from part 2. This dual-output ME energy harvester can ample harvest of the magnetic field energy produced by power lines and offer unique possibilities for possible use of ME energy harvester.

Magnetostrictive materials possess the potential to be used in wide variety applications such as sensing, straintronic, spintronic devices etc due to the coupling between the strain and the magnetization. In this context, FeGa which has a very high magnetostrictive constant, high tensile strength and low coercivity proves to be an efficient material for current research. Commercial producibility of FeGa is cheaper and easier compared to the rare earth alloy families since it does not include any rare earth elements. Fe100-xGax with x = 19% has the highest magnetostriction constant with a value of around 3/2 × λ100= 400 ppm [1]. A thin film with this composition is attributed to the formation of next-nearest-neighbours (NNN) Ga-Ga pairs along [100] directions which leads to the formation of ordered D03 lattice structure [2]. In our report, we characterized the magnetic properties of Fe70Ga30 deposited on Si/SiO2 substrate (rigid material) and Kapton substrate (flexible material) by measuring room-temperature hysteresis loops by AGFM and MFM characterisation as a function of magnetic field. The magnetic hysteresis behaviour is quite different for Fe70Ga30 sputtered Si/SiO2 and Kapton as shown in Fig. 1(a, b). The coercive field obtained for Fe70Ga30/Kapton is approximately 20 times higher than that of Fe70Ga30/SiO2/Si. This can be referred to the interface induced strain which results in higher anisotropy for Fe70Ga30/Kapton. MFM results reveal linear stripe domains for the both Fe70Ga30/SiO2/Si and Fe70Ga30/Kapton shown in Fig. 1(c, d). The periodicity of domains is higher for the samples on Kapton due to high anisotropy. The substrate induced effect largely changes the properties of FeGa. We further try to measure the properties of Fe81Ga19 deposited on both Si/SiO2 and Kapton for comparison. The dependence of strain percentage with magnetic anisotropy will be studied for Fe81Ga19/Kapton.

 Magnetic Properties of FeGa on Rigid and Flexible Substrates

Under high-frequency excitation, the large magnetic energy losses of magnetostrictive materials have limited the output characteristic of the magnetostrictive transducer [1]. Many magnetostrictive transducers are usually operated under DC bias to eliminate the frequency doubling effect and optimize the output performance. Based on the Steinmetz losses model, Ref. [2] proposed an improved total iron losses model considering DC bias, however, the separated losses compositions were not explored. Ref. [3] established a separated core losses model with the DC pre-magnetization, however, the model is more suitable for rectangular excitation and it was not about the giant magnetostrictive materials. Ref. [4] measured the magnetic energy losses on Terfenol-D material at different frequency f and peak flux magnetic density Bm, variable coefficients separated losses model without biased magnetic field had been shown. However, the effect of DC bias on magnetic energy losses of Terfenol-D cannot be ignored due to the max losses deviation will reach 27.6％when f=10 kHz and Bm＝0.06T by losses measuring. Therefore, it is not suitable to use the losses model of an unbiased magnetic field to predict the operation condition with a bias magnetic field. On this basis, an improved magnetic energy losses separation model on giant magnetostrictive materials considering DC bias excitation at high-frequency is emphatically studied here. In this paper, according to the actual operation conditions, a kind of high-frequency losses testing system for magnetostrictive materials under DC bias is built. The dynamic hysteresis loops of Terfenol-D samples at different magnetic frequencies and exciting magnetic densities are studied experimentally under the condition of variable DC bias excitation. The total magnetic energy losses are obtained from these dynamic hysteresis loops aimed to provide the data basis for the establishment of a high-frequency magnetic energy losses model. The three-variables magnetic energy loss matrix is established by these measured data. Based on the Bertotti losses separation theory, the high-frequency losses calculating model of magnetostrictive materials considering variable DC bias excitation is established by using the algorithm of Levebverg-Marquard and the method of matrix transformation. In this model, according to the multivariate parametric regression, the losses coefficients are modified by introducing DC bias-related terms. The comparison of computed and experimental data of losses at different operating conditions are compared and analyzed. By comparing the experimental data, it is proved that the computed results in this proposed model are in good agreement with the experimental results. Based on the built dynamic magnetic characteristic testing system, the dynamic hysteresis loops of Terfenol-D samples at different f (1 kHz~20 kHz), Bm (0.01 T~0.06 T), and Hdc (0 A/m~5000 A/m) can be measured. And the trend of hysteresis loops varying with different DC bias excitation can be shown in Fig.1. It can be seen that the dynamic hysteresis loops will be seriously distorted and asymmetric when the different DC bias applied. This phenomenon is caused by the increase of the magnetization working point and the change of the relative permeability of the material. And the losses can be computed based on the measured hysteresis loops. Using the proposed variable coefficients losses model, the losses could be separated into magnetic hysteresis, eddy-current, and anomalous losses. In fig.2, the bar graphs of the losses changing with DC bias frequency are obtained. The magnetic energy losses decrease with the DC bias. When the f=15 kHz and Bm=0.05T, the measured losses change from 513.74 W/kg to 409.022 W/kg with the DC bias changing from 0 to 5000 A/m. Based measured losses matrix and the method of multivariate parametric regression, an improved losses separation model is proposed to calculate the losses components when the Terfenol-D samples under DC bias excitation. The computed losses in this proposed model have high accuracy over the measured results (average percentage error&lt;5.6%). It shows that the suitable DC bias can decrease the losses for the magnetostrictive materials. This research could provide significant theoretical guidance and experimental data support for the giant magnetostrictive device structure optimization and thermal analysis at high-frequency excitation.

 High-frequency Losses Calculating Model for Magnetostrictive Materials Considering Variable DC Bias

The giant magnetostrictive material TbDyFe alloy is considered to be an ideal material for making the core drive components of high-power, high-frequency magnetostrictive transducers. It has the characteristics of fast output response and large output displacement. Under high-frequency excitation conditions, the accurate calculation of TbDyFe alloy magnetic energy loss is a major and difficult point, and it is also an important step in the design of high-power magnetostrictive devices. Reference [1] improves the traditional loss separation formula based on high-frequency loss test data of TbDyFe alloy. Reference [2] analyzed the dynamic magnetic characteristic parameters of the TbDyFe alloy laminations, and conducted an in-depth study on the loss mechanism in the high frequency range. The above studies all assume that the temperature of the sample remains unchanged, but in actual work, the magnetostrictive transducer will produce serious hysteresis loss, eddy current loss and coil copper loss under high-frequency excitation, which will change the temperature distribute of the device. Considering the temperature-sensitive characteristics of TbDyFe alloy [3], the novelty of this article is mainly to study the change trend of the magnetic properties and loss characteristics of TbDyFe alloy at different temperatures. On the basis of the existing research, a temperature-controllable high-frequency magnetic characteristic test platform is built with AMH-1M-S dynamic magnetic characteristic tester and temperature box, so as to obtain the dynamic magnetic characteristic curve and loss of TbDyFe alloy at different temperatures. When the magnetic density amplitude and frequency are constant, the dynamic hysteresis loop of the sample at different temperatures is shown in Figure 1. As the temperature increases, the dynamic hysteresis loop narrows laterally, the required magnetic field strength decreases, and the coercive force gradually decreases. When the magnetic density amplitude is constant, the magnetic loss of the sample at different temperatures at different frequencies is shown in Figure 2. In the classic Bertotti loss separation model, the loss is a binary function of the magnetization frequency f and the magnetic density amplitude Bm. The formula assumes that under a fixed magnetization condition, no matter what the temperature of the sample is, the calculation results of the loss model will not change, which is obviously inconsistent with the experimental results. At the same time, because the TbDyFe alloy is significantly affected by the eddy current skin effect and dynamic hysteresis under high frequency conditions, the loss coefficient is no longer constant. Hence, the traditional calculation method is no longer accurate and must be improved. In order to solve the above problems, a high-frequency loss calculation model of magnetostrictive materials under variable temperature conditions is proposed. The model corrects the loss coefficient by introducing temperature-related terms. In addition, considering the effects of high-frequency hysteresis characteristics and skin effect, a loss-added magnetic flux density term and loss-added frequency term are introduced. The hysteresis, eddy current and residual loss coefficients kh, ke and ka are all regarded as ternary functions of ΔT, f, Bm. Combining the experimental test data, analyze the influence weights of the three free variables of temperature, frequency and magnetic density amplitude on the loss coefficient through curve fitting, and obtain the changes of hysteresis loss, eddy current loss and residual loss with ΔT, f, Bm. Thus an improved loss calculation model that can effectively consider the temperature effect is established. The results show that the calculation method can accurately calculate the high-frequency magnetic energy loss of magnetostrictive materials under variable temperature conditions. The average error between the calculated value and the measured value is 2.29%.

 High Frequency Characteristic Test and Loss Calculation of TbDyFe Alloy under Variable Temperature

We report on an investigation of the effect of different types of magnetic particles on the effective magneto-induced strain behavior of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). MREs are composites consisting of magnetically permeable particles dispersed in a nonmagnetic polymeric matrix [1]. Under the action of an externally applied magnetic field, a large deformation change occurs in these materials [2]. Such deformation changes the mechanical properties of these materials. This is often attributed to the magnetic interaction among the magnetic filler particles [3]. In this study, we determined the effect of different types of magnetic filler particles on the effective magneto-induced strain of these materials. Four types of magnetic particles including nickel steel mumetal, nickel steel permalloy nongrain oriented (NGO), soft iron (without losses), and cobalt iron 2V permendur were selected from the computational software COMSOL Multiphysics magnetic materials library. With the assumption of constant shape and size for the selected particles, microscale modeling using a finite element analysis (FEA) based on continuum field theory was used in the study of the macroscopic behavior of the MREs. Without the simplifying assumption of magnetic dipoles, the magnetic and mechanical behavior was resolved by considering the polymer matrix and magnetic fillers as continua of distinct material properties. A suitable computational homogenization scheme [4] was used to relate the microscopic behavior to the composite's effective macroscopic properties. Here, both linear and nonlinear magnetic constitutive relationships were considered. The simulations were performed for isotropic microstructures with a constant particle-volume fraction (φ= ~20%) and varying magnetic fillers. From the analysis, only a small change is observed in the effective magneto-induced strain (ε) parallel (ε11) and transverse (ε22) to the direction of the applied magnetic field for the different magnetic particles, particularly in the effective smaller magnetic flux density (B &lt; 0.3T) region as shown in Figs. 1 (a) and (b). As seen from Figs. 1 (a) and (b) at higher B &gt; 0.3T, a reversal in the magneto-induced deformation which for the nonlinear magnetization significant differences in magneto-induced strain for the different magnetic particles is observed. This can be attributed to saturation magnetization effects in this region.

 Effective Magneto-deformation Behavior of Soft Magnetically Susceptible Elastomer Composites

We report on an investigation of the temperature-dependent magnetic properties of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). These are a class of composites that consist of magnetically permeable particles dispersed in a nonmagnetic polymeric matrix [1,2]. When subjected to an external magnetic field, a large deformation occurs altering the mechanical properties of these materials. Due to their magnetoelastic coupling response, these materials are finding increasing interest among the scientific community. The performance of these polymer-based composites depends on many factors [3,4], which temperature is one of the biggest influencing factors requiring further investigations. In this work, the magnetic properties of isotropic polyurethane-based MRE with varying iron (Fe) particle loading fractions (40, 50, 60 and 70% by weight) were investigated under different temperatures. From the analysis, the magnetization response of these materials is observed to almost overlap for all the measured temperature values as shown in Fig. 1a. Although, zooming in the saturation magnetization is observed to decrease with an increase in temperature (See Fig.1a). Figure 1b shows the saturation magnetization for varying temperature and particle loading fractions. Generally, ~ 3% decrement in the saturation magnetization is obtained for each of the loading fraction between the lowest (300K) and the highest (400K) measured temperature. Hence, as it can be seen the magnetization response of these materials is only slightly sensitive to temperature changes. This can be attributed to the measured temperature being below the curie temperature (Tc) of Fe. Further, the magnetization response is observed to increase with the increase in the particle loading fraction (See Fig. 1b).

 Temperature-dependent Magnetic Properties of Magnetorheological Elastomers

Composite materials, in the form of laminated and polymer matrix composites, are being increasingly used in manned and unmanned vessels and aircraft structures mainly due to their high strength and high stiffness to weight ratios. Composite structures are susceptible to degradation due to prolonged use, exposure to severe service environments, fatigue, sand abrasion as well as operator abuse, and neglect. This degradation increases the risk of operation and the cost of maintenance. Over the last two decades, progress has been made in structural state awareness using various sensing techniques such as acoustic emission, eddy current, and ultrasonic pitch hatch to diagnose damage and predict remaining life of the composite. Despite this progress, reliable detection and quantification of composite damage, particularly in the early stage, has remained a major challenge. Structural damage may be considered as a process that compromises the integrity of a structure. Delamination and cracking, two of the most common safety concerns of airframe structures, propagate rather slowly in the early stage but grow at a much faster rate in the later stage. Since early stage damage is not detectable using current technologies, it may be possible that by the time this damage is detected, the remaining life of a structure or its capacity has been severely degraded. The objective of this study is to show the feasibility of early stage damage detection utilizing embedding magnetic particles (Terfenol-D powder, a magnetostrictive material) into the composite structure, which is affected by the compressive stress surrounding them. Magnetostrictive materials exhibit dimensional changes in response to external magnetic fields. The inverse is also true; magnetization changes due to applied external stresses. When a composite material is cured, the particles are brought into compression due to shrinking of the resin, which provides a localized magnetic response. In this study, Terfenol-D (Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.92) was embedded between layers of a composite structure. A laminated panel, 8 inches by 8 inches, was fabricated from thirteen 0.01 inch thick unidirectional plies of a pre-impregnated AS4/3501-6 carbon/epoxy material system. The panel was pressed in an aluminum mold and cured in autoclave at 175 oC under vacuum pressure for about 3.5 hours. The Rectangular panels were cut to a nominal size of 8 inch by 1-inch tensile specimens. A pair of tapered fiber glass tabs was attached at both ends of the rectangular specimens in accordance with the ASTM standard D-3039/D3479. Figure 1(a) shows the test specimen and a disk cut out of the specimen for built-in anisotropy measurement using a VSM (Vibrating Sample Magnetometer). The specimen was then subjected to a quasi-static load up to 70% of the UTS (ultimate tensile strength/ultimate tensile stress to failure). Figure 1(b) shows the magnetization measurement within the VSM system and shows the reference measurement angle for the built-in anisotropy. Figure 2 shows the magnetization results for the different measurement angles, showing the built-in anisotropy before (2a) and after (2b) the load cycle. Following unidirectional loading, the sample clearly shows a change in built-in anisotropy. The slope of the hysteresis loop is now dependent upon angle, demonstrating a possible way to detect early stage damage using magnetostrictive particles embedded in a composite structure. Additionally, it appears to also provide information on the major load direction.

 Measurement of Built-in Magnetic Anisotropy after Load Cycle for Polymer Composite Embedded Magnetostrictive Particles

In recent years, magnetoelectric composite materials have received more attention in the field of energy and power conversion. Many kinds of research have been devoted to improving magnetoelectric composite materials for energy and power conversions, including transformers, energy harvesters, and ME gyrators [1]. However, numerous researches are mainly focused on how to maximize the power conversion efficiency. Studies have shown that the bias magnetic field has an important effect on many types of magnetoelectric composite materials. And the bias magnetic field also affects the energy conversion characteristics [2]. Generally, the power conversion efficiency of piezoelectric materials is defined as the ratio of output electrical power to input mechanical energy. Correspondingly, the energy conversion process of ME composites introduces the influence of magnetoelastic energy [3]. The efficiency of the entire energy conversion is affected by the process of converting magnetic field energy into mechanical energy and mechanical energy into electrical energy. Therefore, we have introduced nanocrystalline FeCuNbSiB as a functional layer in the magnetoelectric composite material to converge the space magnetic field energy with its extremely high magnetic permeability. The introduction of this functional layer reducing the bias magnetic field demand of the composite material and improving the energy conversion efficiency. Fig. 1 shows the effect of different layers of FeCuNbSiB on the magnetoelectric voltage coefficient of the Galfenol-PZT laminate structure. It can be observed that after the introduction of multilayer FeCuNbSiB, the optimal magnetic bias of the magnetoelectric composite material is reduced from 200 Oe to 110 Oe. This optimal bias reduction is due to the introduction of the high magnetic permeability layer has a certain convergence effect on the magnetic field. Fig. 2 shows the influence of the frequency of the alternating magnetic field on the magnetoelectric voltage coefficient after the FeCuNbSiB layer is introduced. The test of energy conversion efficiency shows that the power conversion efficiency of the magnetoelectric composite material is increased by 8.7% under the optimal load resistance and the optimal bias magnetic field. A series of results show that the introduction of high-permeability layers can significantly improve the magnetic deflection characteristics of the magnetoelectric composite material and increase its power conversion efficiency.

I. INTRODUCTION As the first generation of rare earth transition metal based permanent magnet, SmCo5 has a high anisotropy field of more than 240 kOe, and the coercivity of its nanocrystalline magnet is as high as 50 kOe [1]. Hot deformation technology is an effective way to prepare anisotropic SmCo5 nanocrystalline magnets. A.M.Gabay et al found that the texture in (00l) direction can be obtained for the SmCo5 magnets after upsetting deformation[2]. Yue et al prepared anisotropic nanocrystalline magnets by upsetting deformation. When the deformation reaches 90%, a strong c-axis texture appears in the crystals[3]. However, the upsetting deformation method can not achieve large-scale continuous production. In addition, the magnetic properties of the magnet at different positions are quite different. A.S. Kim et al prepared anisotropic cylindrical NdFeB magnets by hot extrusion, but there is still a large space to improve the magnetic properties[4]. Up to now, there is no detailed report on the preparation of SmCo5 magnets by hot extrusion. In this paper, a new hot deformation method was designed. The anisotropic SmCo5 nanocrystalline magnet was prepared by hot extrusion. The microstructure, texture and magnetic properties of the hot extruded (HE) SmCo5 magnet were systematically studied, and the deformation mechanism is analyzed in detail. II. EXPERIMENTAL SmCo5 ingot was prepared by induction melting method with 99.9% pure elements, excess Sm of 5 wt.% was added to compensate the Sm losses due to evaporation. The as-cast ingot was crushed into blocks that were subjected to high energy ball milling, which was carried out under argon atmosphere for 5 h in a high energy mill. Then the milled powder was put into WC-Co mold, hot pressed (HP) by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 700 degree Celsius under 500MPa. Then the HP magnet was extruded by extrusion die with extrusion aperture of 10 mm*2.5 mm. The phase composition and texture of the samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The alignment of the samples was measured by electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD). The microstructure of the samples was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Magnetic measurement of the samples was carried out in a Quantum Design physical properties measurement system magnetometer with a maximum magnetic field of 9 T. III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Fig. 1 (a) shows a schematic diagram, which explains the test direction and regions of the HE magnet. Fig. 1(b) shows the XRD results of the HE magnet in different directions. When the test direction is parallel to the X and Z direction, the HE magnet does not show obvious c-axis texture, the relative intensity ratio between the diffraction peaks of (002) and (111) [I(002)/I(111)] is low, and the diffraction pattern is almost the same as that of the HP magnet. But when the test direction is Y direction, the (00l) peaks in the XRD diffraction pattern is significantly enhanced, along with the decrease of other peaks. Meanwhile, the I(002)/I(111) increases significantly. This result shows that the HE magnet forms a strong c-axis texture in the Y direction. The cross-section of the HE magnet (Fig. 1a, pink section) was observed by SEM. It is worth to note that the grains in the region 1 are aligned along the Y direction (Fig. 2a), indicating a strong c-axis texture. The grains in the region 2 tend to be aligned along the X direction (Fig. 2b), which is perpendicular to the direction of grains in the region 1, indicating that the aligned direction of the grains has changed when approaching the region 2. Furthermore, it is not conducive to the formation of the Y-direction texture. A small amount of grains in the region 3 are aligned along the Y direction (Fig. 2c), the most grains have no obvious alignment. Therefore, the results show that the Y direction is the main alignment direction of the HE magnet. Besides, The XRD results of the three regions show that the value of the I(002)/I(111) follows a sequence: region 1＞region 2＞region 3. In addition, the remanence of the three regions also show the same trend. The poor remanence of the region 3 is due to the change of grains alignment, which is related to the deformation mechanism during the HE process. The deformation mechanism of the HE magnet will be further investigated. IV. CONCLUSIONS The anisotropic nanocrystalline SmCo5 permanent magnet with strong c-axis texture can be prepared by hot extrusion, which provides a promising protocol to fabricate high performance nanocrystalline SmCo5 magnets. Meanwhile, it will be a potential method for improving production efficiency of the anisotropic SmCo5 nanocrystalline magnets.
