Wireless magnetoelastic transducers for biomedical applications

This paper highlights emerging medical applications for magnetoelastic sensing and actuation, each taking advantage of the wireless capabilities and small form factor enabled by the magnetoelastic transduction technique. Magnetoelastic transduction leverages the strong coupling between stress, strain, and magnetization intrinsic to some materials – notably amorphous metals and rare earth crystalline alloys. This coupling provides inherently...
