Experimental analysis of the magnetoelastic anisotropy of a non-oriented silicon iron alloy

This paper deals with experimental measurements of the mechanical, magnetic and magnetostrictive behaviours, of a non-oriented 3%SiFe alloy. The results show that the low crystallographic texture of the material brings important anisotropic effects and that the coupled magnetomechanical properties are much more sensitive than uncoupled ones.
