Effect of Internal Stress Distribution on Magnetomechanical Damping

Abstract
Magnetomechanical damping in ferromagnetic materials has its source in stress‐driven irreversible movement of magnetic domain boundaries. The maximum damping is proportional to λsEi, where λs is the saturation magnetostriction, E is Young's modulus, and σi is the average internal stress opposing domain boundary motion. In order to obtain the stress dependence of the damping, we include a distribution of internal stresses over a range ±Δσi about the average value. Inclusion of this distribution yields a theory in good quantitative agreement with experimental results for samples of 4% Si–Fe and cast iron.
