magnetostriction

  1. The change in shape and density of a substance, especially a ferromagnetic substance, when exposed to a magnetic field. The change depends on the direction and strength of the magnetic field. Rapid, alternating magnetostriction causes the iron cores of household transformers, which are subject to a changing magnetic field, to hum or buzz.

Example Sentences

Examples have not been reviewed.

Magnetostriction normal to the disks was not reported because we assumed that a negligible vector component of magnetization normal to the disk at fields at which NJM is realized would yield negligible magnetostriction.

From

Its existence is a prerequisite of the non-Joulian character of the magnetostriction in Fe–Ga.
