Abstract:
Multilayer composites of piezoelectric and magnetostrictive materials can be
designed to exhibit the magnetoelectric (ME) effect. This ME effect can be
realised as an electric polarisation induced by a magnetic field (called MEH
effect) or a magnetization by an electric field (called MEE effect). Theoretical
modelling of the MEE effect for 2-2 connectivity composites has been developed
for three different boundary conditions for perfect coupling at the interface.
The calculated MEE coefficients using material properties of piezoelectric lead
zirconate titanate (PZT) and magnetostrictive Terfenol-D are a few orders of
magnitude larger than those of single phase ME materials and the calculated
values are compared with experimental results in the literature. Keywords:
