Carmine Stefano Clemente was born in Benevento (Benevento, Italy) on December 1989. He received the Master Degree in Energy Engineering in May 2014 at the University of Sannio, Benevento, Italy, with 110/110 cum laude. In March 2018, he received the PhD in "Information Technology fon Engineering" at the University of Sannio, curriculum "Energy and Environment". The PhD thesis, entlited: "Modeling and development of an Energy Harvesting device based on magnetostrictive materials", was made at Lab.I.Ri.N.T.I. (Integrated laboratory for research on new magnetic devices and innovative technologies), University of Sannio, under the supervision of Prof. Daniele Davino and Prof. Ciro Visone. About his main scientific skills and interests: the modelling and experimental characterization of smart materials, such as piezoelectric and magnetostrictive materials, composite materials, magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMA). Furthermore, another his research activity is about the development of Energy Harvesting devices (force driven, cantilever beam, etc), the modelling and characterization of new Energy Harvesting applications and techniques, devoted to the power supply of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Finally, he is envolved in Numerical and Finite Element modelling of magnetic sensor (force, torque, load, strain sensors), energy harvester, and magnetostrictive devices.
A force-driven Kinetic Energy Harvester, designed to be excited with impulse-like mechanical loads, is presented here. Energy Harvesting is a promising technique to feed wireless sensor networks. The proposed device exploits three-rods of Galfenol and has been modeled through FEM COMSOL Multiphysics® with nonlinear fully coupled characteristics. They take into account the general behaviors of magnetostrictive materials and are compatible with thermodynamics. The preliminary results of the time-domain simulations, with an impulse-like force applied, have been compared with experimental results showing a good agreement. Moreover, the proposed nonlinear modelling has shown better performances with respect to software built-in magnetostrictive models. At the same time, futher modelling improvements seem to be needed in the future to better fit the harmonic content of the free evolution of the device.

The paper deals with an engineering application of the inverse magnetostrictive Villari effect. This effect is usually modeled through multi-variate relationships, strongly non linear and with hysteresis. Here, the task is to provide a suitable formulation of those relationships aiming at a device able to measure mechanical force profiles with good accuracy. The device is analyzed and modeled by a mapping function, resulting in an algorithm that reconstructs the time profile of the applied force. A preliminary calibration characterization is carried out on a concept device that exploits Galfenol as magnetostrictive material. Finally, some tests performed with the aim of validating the algorithm and to estimate its performance are presented.

The paper presents a new paradigm to describe, from a macroscopic viewpoint, the magneto-elastic or piezo-electric and in principle the macroscopic behavior of a multi-functional material, i.e. a material where variables of different nature are coupled. The model has the important feature that fulfills a constraint that formally coincides to the Clausius-Duhem inequality and so is thermodynamic consistent and at the same time is quite general to be applied to several kinds of multi-functional materials (e.g. Piezo-electric or Magneto-elastic materials). The model is based on the simultaneous use of two hysteresis operators, i.e. the Preisach Operator and the Preisach Potential. Conversely to its apparent complex structure, the manuscript will show that the handling effort is reduced to the determination of the Everett integrals, through a usual procedure of identification, based on first order reversals.

The proposal of Energy Harvesting (EH) techniques and devices has experienced a significant growth over the last years, because of the spread of low power electronic devices. Small ambient energy quantities can be recovered through EH and exploited to power Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) used, for example, for the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of bridges or viaducts. For this purpose, research on EH devices based on magnetostrictive materials has significantly grown in the last years. However, these devices comprise different parts, such as a mechanical system, magnetic circuit and electrical connections, which are coupled together. Then, a method able to reproduce the performance may be a handy tool. This paper presents a nonlinear equivalent circuit of a harvester, based on multiple rods of Galfenol, which can be solved with standard circuit simulator. The circuital parameters are identified with measurements both on one rod and on the whole device. The validation of the circuit and the analysis of the power conversion performance of the device have been conducted with different working conditions (force profile, typology of permanent magnets, resistive electrical load).

Magnetostrictive actuators play an important role in the perception of usefulness of smart materials and devices. Their applications are potentially wider than that of piezoelectric actuators because of the higher energy density and intrinsic robustness. However, the non-negligible hysteresis and complexity of their characteristics make the design and control quite difficult and has limited their diffusion in industrial applications. Nevertheless, the scientific literature presents a wide offer of results in design and geometries, modeling and control that may be exploited for applications. This paper gives a reasoned review of the main results achieved in the literature about design, modeling and control of magnetostrictive actuators exploiting the direct effects of magnetostriction (Joule and Wiedemann). Some perspectives and challenges about magnetostrictive actuators development are also gathered.

The analysis of a magnetostrictive cantilever for energy harvesting purposes is addressed. The focus of the work is on outlining, by a thorough experimental study, the basic phenomena affecting the behavior of such systems and, in particular, how the geometry of the physical structure can affect the overall performance of the harvester. Several harvester prototypes have been realized by bonding together one or more magnetostrictive laminations to Al sheets. Further, the influence of the magnetic bias is investigated by exploiting permanent magnets in different positions of the cantilever. The results are discussed in detail and a converted power up to 40mW is observed at 4g impressed acceleration of the sample.

Magnetostrictive actuators show interesting performances related to high-precision actuation with high-energy density, which focused the interest of research in the past years. Nevertheless, the output deformation is related to the current and the applied stress, through a complex multi-input multi-output (MIMO) hysteresis process. As a consequence, a reliable and accurate control task cannot neglect the stress monitoring. Such task, if performed by an ad hoc stress sensor, e.g., a load cell, will face with the sensor's placement in the device, resulting in an increase in cost, complexity, and bulkiness of the system. This issue can be circumvent if the current and magnetic flux measurements, available in the control chain, are exploited. To this aim, a novel self-sensing approach to deliver real-time estimation of the stress is presented in this paper, involving some recent results of a thermodynamic compatible MIMO model of hysteresis for magnetostrictive materials.

Energy harvesting allows the conversion of environmental energy into electrical energy to feed low-power consumption electronics. In particular, this method can be exploited to supply wireless sensors nodes for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) when the electric network source is not present. Indeed, vibrations induced by vehicle traffic on a bridge could be converted into electrical energy but suitable devices are needed. This paper presents experimental tests over a device based on three Galfenol rods, where electrical and magnetic parameters are changed and tested with different mechanical sources in order to seek the best performance.

Kinetic energy harvesting devices based on magnetostrictive materials are composed of several parts, for dealing with multiphysics, including mechanical, magnetic, and electric quantities. An effective method to simulate the effects of different working conditions is important to fully exploit such devices. The aim of this paper is to present an equivalent circuit that can be identified with standard measurements on the device and simulated with a standard circuit simulator, such as Spice. The circuit is a nonlinear three-port circuit, related to the mechanical, magnetic, and electrical parts of the device. Unlike many of the published papers on the subject, the magneto-mechanical modeling is quite realistic and exploits nonlinear functions and the full coupling among the involved physical quantities of the employed magnetostrictive material. The nonlinear equivalent circuit is preliminarily validated on a concept device with permanent magnets biasing on a Stress Annealed Galfenol rod. Experimental data with different resistive loads and magnetic biasing are considered and compared with simulation outputs, in terms of the RMS voltage and harvested power.
