electrostrictive

Materials that change in size in response to an electric field and produce electricity when stretched are called electrostrictive. These materials are primarily used as precision control systems such as vibration control and acoustic regulation systems in engineering, vibration damping in floor systems, and dynamic loading in building construction.

[1] observed a magnetic-field-induced strain of 0.2% in 1996, large field-induced strain of 9.5% has been achieved in Ni-Mn-Ga single crystal [2], which is much greater than those of magnetostrictive, piezoelectric, or electrostrictive. In addition, the material has a wide bandwidth of strain response, reported to be within kHz range [3].
