Abstract:
An analytical solution to the anti-plane dynamics problem of semi-space rare earth giant magnetostrictive media with circular cavity defects near the horizontal boundary under the action of SH wave is studied. Based on the Helmholtz theorem and the theory of complex function, the elastic-magnetic dynamic equation of magnetostrictive medium is established, and the semi-space incident wave field is written. In addition, based on the theory of complex function and the method of wave function expansion, the expression of the wave function of the scattered displacement field and the corresponding magnetic potential of the scattered wave under the condition of no stress and magnetic insulation of the horizontal boundary are obtained. Then, based on the conditions of free boundary stress, continuous magnetic induction intensity and continuous magnetic potential around the circular cavity, the infinite linear algebraic equations are established. Finally, the analytical expressions of dynamic stress concentration factor and magnetic field intensity concentration factor around circular cavity in semi-space rare earth giant magnetostrictive medium are obtained. Numerical examples show that the analysis results depend on the following parameters: permeability, dimensional-piezomagnetic coefficient, frequency of the incident wave, incident angle, distance between the circular cavity and horizontal boundary. These results have certain reference value for the study of non-destructive testing and failure analysis of rare earth giant magnetostrictive materials.
