Characterization of field-dependent elastic modulus and damping in pure nickel and iron specimens using a new experimental system

The main objective of this work is to characterize the dependence on the applied magnetic field of both the Young's modulus (∆E-effect) and the specific damping capacity (∆Ψ-effect) in pure nickel and iron specimens.The high quantity of direct and indirect information they provide requires very precise and accurate results, which can be achieved by means of a recently developed experimental set-up.The experimentally measured ∆E-and ∆Ψ-effects in pure nickel and iron are in good agreement with magnetic domain theory and they show better magnetoelastic behaviour of nickel in comparison to iron.
