Abstract

We formulate a material model for micro-magneto-mechanics based on the generalized standard material approach. Our model includes exchange, elastic, anisotropy, demagnetizing and Zeeman energy. Furthermore we account for dissipative micro-magnetic behavior by means of a dissipation potential. For the constrained optimization problem w.r.t. magnetization we rely on the exponential map algorithm. We demonstrate our ideas with numerical examples. In particular we apply our model to a thin film composite. With this composite we represent the magneto-mechanical part of a magneto-electric composite sensor (resp. small sensor segment). Our numerical experiments focus on FeCoSiB as the magnetostrictive material. We discuss the coupling effects for the considered thin film composite in detail.
