After one last comment I'm through discussing people. I admit even a fool, or crackpot, can stumble across something interesting, or useful. Not that I see it here, but is a reason I read/participate in these boards.
Now back to the topic, I think. Yes, stress in a ferromagnetic material can affect a magnetic field. In the context of Mr. Rakarskiy's post, how is that pertinent? It is relevant to induction, not the cause of induction. But nevermind, that's not why I requested more information about your stress/induction statement. I'll expand.
My background includes much to do with electric motors. There is an operational condition called stall torque, or sometimes called locked rotor torque. As implied, it is where the motor is electrically excited and produces torque without rotation or any motion at all. When this occurs, efficiency is zero as output power (torque × speed) is zero even though there is input power (V × I). All input is converted to heat. Nevertheless, this stall torque can be useful, say for holding the position of an EV on an incline, although no work is done.
Now, I have often contemplated if the 'stall torque process' is reversible. In other words, in the motor, current produces stress (stall torque), can stress produce current?
In piezoelectricity, stress produces voltage, and voltage produces stress. Does an analogy exist with magnetism stress/current?
I've seen misnomers mentioned numerous times by the likes of Holcomb (mentioned by Rakarskiy) that in his device torque is non-existent due to the absence of a rotatable member. I think torque or perhaps better said 'the stress which would manifest as torque' is present in the machine.
Could this stress be, or enable, a pathway for energy conversion, primary to secondary windings (stator to fixed rotor) in these crackpot devices?
So I simply inquired of you for references to stress induction. Sorry to get sidetracked.

BTW, I see chatGPT as a quick means of Internet search. And with all from the Internet, discretion advised.
