“…Local forces are useful in magnetic-structural formulation where the coupling is due to magnetostrictive forces in ferromagnetic materials (Besbes et al, 1996;Delaere et al, 2001;Mohammed et al, 2002). Global or local forces in electromagnetic devices are computed using methods like Lorentz force (Ren, 1994;Woodson and Melcher, 1968), Maxwell stress-tensor (Moallem and Ong, 1990;Benhama et al, 1996;Medeiros et al, 1999), Coulomb virtual work (Coulomb and Meunier, 1984;Benhama et al, 2000), magnetizing current method (Kabashima et al, 1988;Ito et al, 1990;Henneberger et al, 1992), etc.…”
