Wikipedia definition
1. MagnetostrictionMagnetostriction is a property of ferromagnetic materials that causes them to change their shape or dimensions during the process of magnetization. The variation of material's magnetization due to the applied magnetic field changes the magnetostrictive strain until reaching its saturation value, λ. The effect was first identified in 1842 by James Joule when observing a sample of nickel. This effect causes losses due to frictional heating in susceptible ferromagnetic cores.
