(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Magnetostriction is a property of ferromagnetic materials to undergo a change of their physical dimensions when subjected to a magnetic field. This effect was first identified in 1842 by James Joule when observing a sample of nickel.
This property, which allow magnetostrictive materials to convert magnetic energy into mechanical energy and conversely, is used for the building of both actuation and sensing devices. It is often quantified by the magnetostrictive coefficient, L, which is the fractional change in length as the magnetization of the material increases from zero to the saturation value.
The reciprocal effect, the change of the magnetization of a material when subjected to a mechanical stress, is called the Villari effect. Two other effects are related to magnetostriction: the Matteuci effect is the creation of a helical magnetic field by a magnetostrictive material when subjected to a torque and the Wiedemann effect is the twisting of these materials when an helical magnetic filed is applied to them.
