Bulk ferromagnetic materials exhibit Joule magnetostriction with characteristic strain magnitudes on the order of (10^{-6}) to (10^{-4}), which is often insufficient for the displacement requirements of modern soft robotic and adaptive structural systems. Ferromagnetic elastic slender structures provide a promising alternative, offering the potential for large actuation displacements under small external magnetic fields. This enhanced […]
