摘要
The dependence of coupling coefficient (k) and elastic moduli (E-H and E-B) on particle size and volume fraction of Terfenol powder in polymer-bonded composites has been investigated. Materials were prepared with powder in five size ranges between 106 and 710 mu m and in three volume fractions (V-F) The moduli show a Delta E effect, which is negative for small bias fields and positive for larger fields. E-H is found to be independent of particle size and to vary with V-F in agreement with model predictions. The maximum value of k, for each sample, is found to be independent of both particle size and V-F and a simple model is presented which predicts this behavior and indicates that the low values of k(max) arise mainly from the low modulus of the epoxy binder.
