:I would imagine both, plus harmonics.  .  Also 50 or 100 in other countries. - Omegatron 20:43, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
:Hi all, I removed the bit on the frequency being multiples of 100Hz or 120Hz. The dominant harmonics in a big power transformer are mostly odd, and the injection of even harmonics is heavily restricted. But that's irrelevant either way to  the discussion of magnetostriction. 18.62.13.152 (talk) 02:39, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Someone should add a short section on the Magnetomechanical effect (the inverse of magnetostriction) in the article.
A good reference is in Introduction to Magnetism and Magnetic Materials By David Jiles, towards the back of the book if i can remember clearly.
I know I should, but I am too lazy! and too busy of cause. ;-p

message: The animation image on this article is distracting, makes it hard to read. It is often recommended to avoid animations, see for example http://www.useit.com/alertbox/990502.html or http://universalusability.com/access_by_design/images/animated.html - recommend replacing the animation with static image(s). --mcld (talk) 07:08, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

text: What exactly is it illustrating? What does the grey arrow represent? Magnetostriction is not inherently an AC effect, so an animation confuses the issue. RockMagnetist (talk) 14:16, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

message: As the reference given at the bottom of article does, I believe it should be clearly stated that change in length can either be positive or negative:

message: Magnetostriction does not only occur in ferromagentic materials.
For ferrimagnets such as TbFe2 and DyFe2 see:
Clark, A. E.; Belson, H. S. (1972): Giant Room-Temperature Magnetostrictions in Tb Fe2 and Dy Fe2. In: Phys. Rev. B 5 (9), S. 3642–3644. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.5.3642.
Antiferromagnets such as the rare earth elements such as Dy and Ho
see: Darnell, F. J. (1963): Temperature Dependence of Lattice Parameters for Gd, Dy, and Ho. In: Phys. Rev. 130 (5), S. 1825–1828. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRev.130.1825.
or: Darnell, F. J. (1963): Magnetostriction in Dysprosium and Terbium. In: Phys. Rev. 132 (1), S. 128–133. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRev.132.128. 
thus I would vote for changing the first sentence of the article to:
Magnetostriction (cf. electrostriction) is a general property of magnetic materials that causes them to change their shape or dimensions during the process of magnetization.

replies: text: Good point. I have changed the wording as you suggest. If I have time later, I'll incorporate your sources into the section on magnetostrictive materials. Or you could do it. RockMagnetist(talk) 18:14, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

The above 2019 paper is a primary source, and the text at the end of the "Constitutive behavior of magnetostrictive materials" subsection isn't particularly encyclopedic. I'm going to remove it all if nobody states a convincing objection.--Quisqualis (talk) 05:27, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
