Magnetoelastic effect in axial stressed Ni-Zn ferrite material in Rayleigh region

The paper presents new and original results of investigation on magnetoelastic effect in Ni-Zn ferrite formed into ring core and subjected to the axial stress up to 20 MPa. The core was magnetized with relatively low magnetizing field, corresponding to the so-called Rayleigh region. The obtained results indicate, that there is a significant correlation between applied stress and magnetic properties of the material and the Ni-Zn ferrite can be utilized in development of magnetoelastic sensor of force and stress.
