A mathematical model of vibration power generation (VPG) with the giant magnetostrictive material (GMM) is proposed on the basis of the magneto-mechanical coupling model, Jiles-Atherton model and electromagnetic induction law. According to the model, the output voltage of a giant magnetostrictive power generator has been calculated under the condition of different vibration frequency, pre-stress and bias magnetic field. The calculating results show that the model can reveal the relationship between the input vibrating stress and output voltage. The experiment of a giant magnetostrictive power generator has been carried out, and the experimental results agree well with the calculating results.
