Summary: | To obtain the deformation characteristic of silicon steel with yoke clamping applied under an alternating magnetic field, a stress-dependent magnetostriction model of silicon steel must be constructed. Due to the magnetic domain’s rotation and the magnetic domain wall movement with stress applied, the material’s magnetostrictive deformation will reverse and saturate in both magnitude and direction. Therefore, the saturated magnetic domain wall movement effect must be considered in the stress-dependent magnetostriction model. Firstly, a hysteresis stress-dependent magnetostriction model based on the Jiles-Atherton (J-A) model and Zheng-Liu (Z-L) model is proposed. Then, the magnetostrictive deformation curves of the non-oriented silicon steel with external stresses are measured. The magnetic field and deformation parameters that control the saturated magnetic domain wall movement are extracted and applied to the model. Finally, the magnetostrictive loops with the magnetic field under varying stress are obtained based on the proposed model. The proposed model’s effectiveness and accuracy are verified by comparing the measurement results with the simulation results.
