In this work, the magnetoelectric cantilever composed of a layer of Galfenol and a layer of PZT-5H is studied for
novel applications such as surgical ablation tools and cutting tools for machining applications. For developing a
suitable model for the magnetoelectric cantilever, an energy based approach for the non-linear constitutive behavior of
the magnetostrictive material and linear piezoelectric constitutive equations will be coupled with Euler Bernoulli
model for composite beams. The cantilever is held in a uniform magnetic field and the magnetic field is measured by a
Gaussmeter. The tip-deflection of the cantilever is detected by a laser triangulation sensor. The piezoelectric response
can be studied with low noise preamplifier. Four PZT-5H layers with different thickness are separately bonded on the
top of the same Galfenol layer and characterized to study the thickness ratio effects on the quasistatic actuation and
sensing behavior of the composite cantilever.
