In the machining process, variation in cutting forces results in relative displacements between the tool and the workpiece leading to tool vibration. Also there is a demand to change the depth of cut very frequently. One solution for the both cases is to develop a system which has the ability to reposition a cutting tool to a very small level, i.e., micron. This paper presents the development of a micropositioner using a magnetostrictive material. The developed micropositioner is implemented to a lathe and subjected to various tests. The results show that the micropositioner with a magnetostrictive actuator has good potential for machining application.

In this research, using Terfenol-D actuator composed of magnetostrictive material as shaker and controller, active vibration control theory was applied and verified by experiments. PPF(positive Position Feedback) algorithm which is effective for the control of low frequency vibration was used for the control of a structure. Responses of inputs due to various design variable used for the PPF filter were observed. To investigate the characteristics of magnetostrictive materials, actuator responses were measured for known inputs and satisfactory results were obtained to reduce the vibration level after applying the control input for the actuator.

The paper provides a comprehensive procedure for the mechanical and magnetic design of Langevin transducer based on giant magnetostrictive material. The the transducer is designed to work at its second mode of vibration, having high mechanical quality factor and low damping coefficient. The design procedure is based on an analytical model and it is verified by finite-element analysis. Experimental tests based on impedance response analysis in first and second modes are carried out on the prototype. Results confirm the appropriate design of this transducer, demonstrating the highest mechanical quality factor between the resonant transducers in the literature.

자왜 재료는 자계 포화 이하에서 비선형 특성을 갖는다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 지금까지 비선형 특성을 표현하는 자왜 재료의 구조 방정식을 유도한 사례는 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 자계 포화 이하에서 비선형 특성을 갖는 자왜 재료의 비선형 구조 방정식을 4차 텐서를 이용하여 유도하였다. 나아가 유도된 구조방정식을 이용하여 자왜 재료 내의 파동 방정식을 정식화하였다. 그리고 비선형 특성을 갖는 자왜 재료에서 평면파가 자계 방향을 따라 전파될 때 등방성 자왜 재료의 탄성파 속도를 구하였다. 이상의 결과를 검증하기 위해서 자왜 재료 중에서 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 Terfenol-D의 탄성파 속도를 측정하여 본 연구에서 유도한 자왜 재료 비선형 구조 방정식의 타당성을 일부 검증하였다. 향후에 자왜 재료의 정확한 특성을 측정하여 본 연구 결과와 비교함으로써 본 연구에서 유도한 비선형 구조 방정식의 타당성을 검증하고자 한다.

A linear actuator using Terfenol-D rod which can accumulate displacement of the rod was fabricated. The diameter of used rod is 12[mm] and the length of it is 75[mm]. It adopts the electromagnetic units as the clamping units. Basic characteristics of the linear actuator such as displacement vs. current, velocity vs. frequency, step size vs. frequency were experimented. When the driving current is 1[A] and 100[Hz], the velocity of the actuator is about 3.5[mm/s]. We discussed the cause of step size's decrease as increasing driving frequency and the solution to the problem.

The magnetic and magnetostrictive properties of melt-spun ribbons of the alloys (R0.33Fe0.67)1-xBx (R=Tb0.3Dy0.7 and 0$\leq$x$\leq$0.06) are ivestigated as a function of wheel speed during melt-quenching. The saturation magnetiation of the alloys with a crystalline phase ranges from 70 to 80 emu/g and does not vary substantially with the B content. The saturation magnetization of an amorphous phase, which is formed at the condition of thigh wheel speed and high B content, is reduced significantly, however. The coercive force is minimum at x= 0.02 and increases monotonously with the further increase of B content when the microstructure mainly consists of a crystalline phase, but again it is reduced significantly by the formation of an amorphous phase. The low field sensitivity of magnetostriction with magnetic field is found to be good for the alloys with x$\leq$0.04 over a wide range of wheel speed. This magnetostrictive behavior is in contrast with that observed previously for Dy-Fe and Tb-Fe based alloys and is thought to be due to low intrinsic magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the compound.
