Electromagnetic induction system for testing ferromagnetic shape memory alloys

This paper presents an electromagnetic induction system aiming to measure elongation of ferromagnetic magnetic shape memory alloys (FSMA) and to move the FSMA element backward as a load cell. In present study linear motor as a load cell and measurement device is used and tested. Experimental results show that the system is able to measure the elongation of the FSMA element in the range 0 to 2.3 mm.
