- 2. Outline In this Presentation, we will be discussing the following : • What is Magnetostriction? • Working and Result of Magnetostriction. • What are ultrasonic waves? • Production of ultrasonic waves by magnetostrsiction method. • Properties of ultrasonic waves. • Applications of ultrasonic waves (in the fields of science, engineering, medicine, etc).
- 3. What is Magnetostriction? • Magnetostriction is a property of ferromagnetic materials that causes them to change their shape or dimensions (expand or contract) during the process of magnetization. • The effect was first identified in 1842 by James Joule when observing a sample of nickel.
- 4. Magnetostriction - Working • Internally, ferromagnetic materials have a structure that is divided into domains, which are randomly oriented when the material is not exposed to a magnetic field and each domain is a region of uniform magnetic polarization. • When a magnetic field is applied, the boundaries between the domains shift and the domains rotate; both of these effects cause a change in the material’s dimensions.
- 5. Result of Magnetostriction • The orientation of these small domains by the imposition of the magnetic field creates a strain field. • As the intensity of the magnetic field is increased, more and more magnetic domains orientate themselves so that their principal axes of anisotropy are collinear with the magnetic field in each region and finally saturation is achieved.
- 6. Effect of increasing and decreasing applied or external magnetic field(H) on a ferromagnetic material can be seen here. The arrow mark indicates the change in value (increase or decrease) and direction of applied magnetic field.
- 7. Ultrasonic waves The sound waves are classified into three types on the basis of their frequencies. They are namely • (i) infrasonic waves (sound waves of frequency below 20 Hz) • (ii) audible sound waves (sound waves of frequency between 20 and 20kHz) • (iii) ultrasonic waves (sound waves of frequency above 20kHz). Ultrasonic Waves
- 8. Production of Ultrasonic waves The Ultrasonic waves are produced by a mechanical method using Galton's whistle. It is also produced by magnetostriction and piezoelectric oscillators. Let us discuss the magnetostriction oscillator in this section. MAGNETOSTRICTION METHOD To produce ultrasonic waves of frequencies up to 3MHz only. • PRINCIPLE : • The Magnetostriction oscillator is based on the principle of magnetostriction effect. • When a ferromagnetic material is subjected to a varying magnetic field, the length of the ferromagnetic rod changes and the ferromagnetic rod is set into resonant vibration, whenever the frequency of the tank circuit coincides with the vibration of the ferromagnetic rod.
- 9. • CONSTRUCTION : • A ferromagnetic rod AB made up of Ni is clamped in the middle, C as shown. • Coil of wires L1 and L2 are winded at the ends of A and B. • One end of the coil L2 is connected to the base of an NPN transistor and the other end of the coil L1 is connected to the emitter and the negative terminal of a battery. • A variable capacitor C1 is connected across the coil L1. • One end of the variable capacitor is connected to the collector circuit, whereas the other end of the variable capacitor is connected to the positive end of the battery through a milliammeter and a key K.

- 10. Working - Magnetostriction Oscillator • When the key is closed, the tank circuit (LC circuit) is set into oscillation with a frequency of vibration given by F= 1/(2π√(LC)) where L1 =inductance of coil L1 and C1 =capacitance of the capacitor C1. • An alternating EMF is produced due to the vibration of the tank circuit. • This alternating EMF induces an alternating magnetic field. • The length of the ferromagnetic material gets changed due to the alternating magnetic field. • The change in the length of the ferromagnetic material induces an EMF in the coil L2.
- 11. • The induced emf is fed into the base of the transistor and hence it gets amplified and it is fed into the tank circuit.Thus the oscillation is continuously maintained. • The frequency of the oscillation of the tank circuit is varied by adjusting the variable capacitance value. • If the frequency of the tank circuit matches with the frequency of vibration of the ferromagnetic rod, ultrasonic waves are produced and the ultrasonic waves are emitted from the ends of the rod as shown in the diagram. The frequency of ultrasonic waves produced is given by • Where l is the length of the ferromagnetic material, Y is the Young’s modulus and ρ is the density of the ferromagnetic material.

- 12. Properties of Ultrasonic waves • The frequency of the Ultrasonic waves is greater than 20 kHz. • The Ultrasonic waves are highly energetic. Because of their high frequency, they have intensity up to 10 kW(m)^-2. • Like ordinary sound waves, Ultrasonic waves produce alternate compression and rarefaction, when they are propagating through liquid and gaseous medium. • Ultrasonic waves produce Cavitation effect in liquids. • The speed of the ultrasonic wave increases with the increase in its frequency. Ultrasonic waves are having a shorter wavelength. • The Ultrasonic waves exhibit reflection and interference phenomenon similar to ordinary light waves. • The Ultrasonic waves exhibit negligible diffraction effects.

Ultrasonic cavitation is a simple procedure that relies on sound waves to flush fat from the body instead of intensive surgery. • 10. It is used for sterilising milk and to kill bacteria. • 11. It is used to study the blood flow velocities in blood vessels of our body. • 12. It is used as a diagnostic tool to detect tumours, breast cancer and also the growth of foetus can be studied.

Send a short ultrasonic pulse at 40 kHz in the air, and try to listen to the echo. Of course you wont hear anything, but with an ultrasonic sensor the back pulse can be detected. If you know the time of the forth & back travel of the ultrasonic wave, you know the distance, divide the distance by two and you know the range from the ultrasonic sensor to the first obstacle in front of it.
