Magnetostriction is a property of magnetic materials that causes them to change shape when subjected to a magnetic field. This effect allows magnetostrictive materials to convert electromagnetic energy into mechanical energy. Magnetostriction is observed in all ferromagnetic materials. It couples elastic, electric, magnetic, and in some situations also thermal fields. Magnetostriction was first identified in 1842 by James Joule when observing a sample of nickel. It is of great industrial interest for use in sensors, actuators, adaptive, or functional structures, robotics, transducers, and...
