Nonlinear magnetoelectric effect in a ring composite heterostructure by V. I. Musatov, F. A. Fedulov, D. V. Savelev, E. V. Bolotina, L. Y. Fetisov

“…A nonlinear ME effect was observed and investigated in a ring heterostructure based on PZT piezoceramics and Metglas® amorphous FM alloy. Due to the absence of demagnetization during circular magnetization of the closed FM layer, nonlinear ME effects are detected at significantly lower amplitudes of the exciting alternating and constant bias magnetic fields as compared to planar heterostructures. …”

Mechanical properties and piecewise constitutive model of fine sandstone in mining area of western China by Qing Wang, Dongxiao Zhang, Fei Han, Yongqiang Zhao, Pengfei Zhang, Feng Xiong

“…Still, there is a sudden increase in the plastic failure and post-peak failure stages. (2) The fine sandstone specimens’ input energy, elastic energy, and dissipative energy density increased nonlinearly during the cyclic loading tests. Owing to the closure of the primary pores in the microfracture compaction stage, dominant matrix deformation in the elastic deformation stage, and development and expansion of cracks in the plastic failure stage, with an increase in the cyclic loading and unloading times, the dissipative energy ratio first decreased and then increased. (3) Based on the tangential modulus, residual strain, and Felicity ratio, fine sandstone’s cyclic loading and unloading stress-strain curves were divided into microfracture compaction, elastic deformation, and plastic failure stages. …”
