TL;DR: This is the first time a high-spatial-resolution image of current density is presented using MAET and a mathematical formula whereby the lead field current density may be utilized to reconstruct the distribution of the electrical impedance in a piecewise smooth object is offered.
Abstract: Primarily this report outlines our investigation on utilizing magneto-acousto-electrical-tomography (MAET) to image the lead field current density in volume conductors. A lead field current density distribution is obtained when a current/voltage source is applied to a sample via a pair of electrodes. This is the first time a high-spatial-resolution image of current density is presented using MAET. We also compare an experimental image of current density in a sample with its corresponding numerical simulation. To image the lead field current density, rather than applying a current/voltage source directly to the sample, we place the sample in a static magnetic field and focus an ultrasonic pulse on the sample to simulate a point-like current dipole source at the focal point. Then by using electrodes we measure the voltage/current signal which, based on the reciprocity theorem, is proportional to a component of the lead field current density. In the theory section, we derive the equation relating the measured voltage to the lead field current density and the displacement velocity caused by ultrasound. The experimental data include the MAET signal and an image of the lead field current density for a thin sample. In addition, we discuss the potential improvements for MAET especially to overcome the limitation created by the observation that no signal was detected from the interior of a region having a uniform conductivity. As an auxiliary we offer a mathematical formula whereby the lead field current density may be utilized to reconstruct the distribution of the electrical impedance in a piecewise smooth object.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the influence of the physical properties of stabilizer and substrate on the thermal stability of a high-temperature superconductor (HTS)-FCL design.
Abstract: Coated conductors (CCs) are very promising for the design of novel and efficient resistive fault current limiters (FCLs). However, a detailed knowledge about their thermal and electromagnetic behaviors in the presence of over-critical currents is crucial for their improvement. In this context, we performed finite-element magneto-thermal modeling of CCs under over-critical current on several geometries. Accordingly, we have investigated the influence of the physical properties of stabilizer and substrate on the thermal stability to improve the high-temperature superconductor (HTS)-FCL design. All simulations were performed using COMSOL Multiphysics, a commercial finite-element package, which has a built-in coupling between the thermal and electrical equations, allowing us to compute both quantities simultaneously during the solving process. Our results allow us to determine the current threshold to achieve thermal stability of HTS FCLs made with CCs.

Abstract: In the present paper, we investigate the generation of thermal stresses in a nonhomogeneous anisotropic solid cylinder rotating about the z-axis at a constant angular velocity in the presence of a magnetic field. The governing equations are solved numerically using the boundary-element method (BEM) and numerical results are obtained for the variation of the temperature, displacements, and stresses along x-axis. The effect of nonhomogeneity is investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a control method for magnetorheological damping, which can dispense with coil and exterior power supply, and the conversion from the controlled structure vibration mechanical energy to magnetic field energy can be achieved only by using less materials.
Abstract: The invention relates to an application field of magnetorheological damping, and provides a control method for magnetorheological damping, which is characterized in that: an input magnetic loop is formed by adopting a giant magnetostrictive material, a permanent magnet and magnetic yokes at both ends; an output magnetic loop is composed of a permanent magnet, a magnetic yoke and a magnetorheological medium. The control method can dispense with coil and exterior power supply, and the conversion from the controlled structure vibration mechanical energy to magnetic field energy can be achieved only by using less materials; thereby the control method for magnetorheological damping has the advantages of non-energy device, large load, great damping force, rapid response, broadband and better buffering to the impact load.

TL;DR: A new magneto-optic current sensor with a dual-orthogonal configuration is proposed and demonstrated, which can resolve the problem which value of high-current pulses is ambiguous from the Faraday rotation in the conventional magneto.
Abstract: A new magneto-optic current sensor with a dual-orthogonal configuration is proposed and demonstrated, which can resolve the problem which value of high-current pulses is ambiguous from the Faraday rotation in the conventional magneto-optic current sensor. In this dual-orthogonal configuration, the transmission axis of the polarizer makes two given angles, which are 0° and 45°, with the orientation of the s-polarized lights of two polarizing cube beam splitters. If the intrinsic linear birefringence of the sensing element is one-fourth less than the Faraday rotation generated from the high-current pulse, the measurement current influenced by it can be ignored and four outputs of the magneto-optic current sensor are in quadrature. The value of the current pulse can be calculated by an arctangent data reduction method, which can avoid the insensitive zone of the sine function, where the measurement current has a reduced accuracy. A measurement of the high-current pulse (up to 720kA) of an electric gun, with ...

Abstract: The present investigation is concerned with the reflection in thermo-microstretch elastic solid in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, at the boundary surface. The generalized theories of thermoelasticity developed by Lord and Shulman [1](L-S) and Green and Lindsay [2](G-L) theories have been used to investigate the problem. The variations of amplitude ratios with angle of incidence have been shown graphically. It is noticed that the amplitude ratios of the reflected waves are affected by magnetic field, stretch and thermal properties of the medium.

Abstract: Coated conductors are very promising for the design of novel and efficient Fault Current Limiter (FCL).

All simulations were performed using in COMSOL Multiphysics (R), a commercial finite element package,which has a built-in coupling between the thermal and electrical equations, allowing us to compute both quantities simultaneously during the solving process. Our simulations allowed us to formulate thresholds for the current density usable in coated HTS as well as limitation capability of a device made of these new conductors.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of mechanical stresses on the magnetic properties of electrical steel used in electromagnetic devices and especially in electrical machines was studied. But the results showed that the mechanical stresses degrade the properties of the electrical steel and increase the magnetization current.
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to find out how to model the effect of mechanical stresses on the magnetic properties of electrical steel used in electromagnetic devices and especially in electrical machines. Further, the effect of these stresses on the operation of the machines should be studied.Design/methodology/approach – The constitutive equation of the electrical steel is usually modeled as a non linear relation between the magnetic flux density and the magnetic field strength. In this research, this constitutive equation is developed to account for the mechanical stresses through a parametric relationship, the parameters of which are estimated from measurements. Further, the constitutive equation is used in a magnetomechanically coupled numerical simulation of an induction machine.Findings – The mechanical stresses degrade the properties of the electrical steel and increase the magnetization current in electrical machines. This leads to a decrease in the efficiency of these machines.Research...

Abstract: A method of coupled magneto-superelastic analysis by the sequential approach is proposed for shape memory alloy (SMA) helical spring actuators controlled by magnetic force. The commercial finite element software ANSYS/Emag is used for the magnetic field analysis, while the one-dimensional finite element program developed by the authors is used for the analysis of superelastic behaviors of SMA helical springs. The validity of the proposed method is verified by applying the method to the analysis of actuator models utilizing SMA composite or ferromagnetic SMA helical springs and comparing the calculated results with the experimental results.
