GalFeNol is a new Giant Magnetostrictive Material that can be used in energy harvesting especially in vibration reduction applications, thanks to the Joule and Villari effects. A 3D-model of GalFeNol rod is stressed by a time varying longitudinal force of 1000 N. The study has been carried out for two shapes, a solid and hollow cylinder . For both the shapes, physical dimensions (inner and outer radius) are parameterized in order to evaluate the best combination of them. The model also includes a multiple wire coil and a resistive load (100 Ω) to evaluate the electrical power generated by the energy harvesting.
