When electrical devices such as electrical machines and transformers are in operation, the magnetostriction of the silicon steel sheets results in the deformation of the laminated iron core, which aggravates the vibration and noise of the iron core. Therefore, it is of significance to study the relationship between the magnetostrictive effect and external magnetic field. The aim of this paper is to report the researches finished, in progress, and to be done by the authors’ group, so as to discuss the idea how to investigate the magnetostriction property of the silicon steel sheets, whether non-oriented or grain-oriented. Measurement method, property model formulation, and the application of the model to finite element analysis are described. The relative numerical results are given.
