One major application for smart materials is measuring stresses or strains in load bearing structures. The ability to monitor structural health, and observe real time stress levels in load bearing platforms is a field of great interest. In this work, we develop and characterize a method for stress monitoring adhesively bonded joints by incorporating a magnetostrictive filler into the polymeric matrix. Magnetostrictive materials create a change in their surrounding magnetic field when subjected to strain, and thus serve as natural strain sensors, that require neither power supply nor any kind of wiring. A clear correlation between the stress and the magnetic field, which is measured at a distance of 20–60 mm from the specimen, is observed under both shear and compression loads. Moreover, there is a significant stress region in which the relationship between the stress and the magnetic field is approximately linear. This behavior demonstrates the possibility of monitoring the average stress in a specimen by a single magnetic sensor mounted at a distance from the specimen. Additionally, complete three dimensional mapping of the magnetic field around loaded specimens reveals that the specimen magnetization is not uniform and implies the existence of a correlation between the specimen magnetization and the stress field which was numerically computed. This behavior indicates the potential of mapping the local stress profile within a specimen by using an array of several magnetic sensors. The effects of magnetostrictive particle size and of applying a magnetic field during specimen polymerization are also discussed.

Purpose The paper presents the analysis of magnetic field that surrounds the power transformer after it has been switched off. The purpose of this paper is to determine the possibility of defining the residual fluxes in the legs of the transformer based on the measurement of this field. It was also intended to determine the type and the location of magnetic sensors. Design/methodology/approach Numerical analysis of the magnetic field was performed. A three-dimensional model of the transformer’s magnetic core was created in the Flux 3D simulation program. The analysis was concerned with an oil-filled transformer and a dry transformer. The magnetic field of Earth was taken into account. Findings The research has shown that magnetic induction of the leakage field produced by residual magnetization of the core is comparable to the magnetic induction of the Earth’s field. It was also found that the measurement of the magnetic induction should be performed as close as possible to the core. The interior of the tank turned out to be a convenient space for the placement of the sensors. Research limitations/implications The influence of external ferromagnetic objects, and devices generating magnetic field, on the measurement was not considered. It should be taken into account in the future work. Originality/value On the basis of the analysis, it was proposed to measure the magnetic induction vector of the leakage field at three points. The sensors should be placed in front of the columns at a position that is half of their height. The measurement can be performed with satisfactory accuracy by sensors located on the surface of the windings.

Abstract We developed a system and a method to characterize the magnetic field induced by circuit board and electronic component, especially integrated inductor, with magnetic sensors. The different magnetic sensors are presented and several applications using this method are discussed. Particularly, in several semiconductor applications (e.g. Mobile phone), active dies are integrated with passive components. To minimize magnetic disturbance, arbitrary margin distances are used. We present a system to characterize precisely the magnetic emission to insure that the margin is sufficient and to reduce the size of the printed circuit board.

Magnetic fields play a major role in the general dynamics of astronomical phenomena and particularly in the process of star formation. The magnetic field strength in galactic molecular clouds is of the order of few tens of μG. On a smaller scale, OH masers exhibit fields of the order of mG and these can probably be taken as representative of the magnetic field in the dense regions surrounding protostars. The OH molecule has been shown to emit highly circular and linearly polarized radiation. That it was indeed the action of the magnetic field that would give rise to the highly polarized spectrum of OH has been shown by the VLBI observations of Zeeman pairs of the 1720 and 6035 MHz by Lo et. al. and Moran et. al. VLBI observations of W3 (OH) revealed that the OH emission was coming from numerous discrete locations and that all spots fell within the continuum contours of the compact HII region. The most detailed VLBI aperture synthesis experiment of the 1665 MHz emission from W3 (OH) was carried out by Reid et. al. who found several Zeeman pairs and a characteristic maser clump size of 30 mas. In this work, we report the results of a 5 station VLBI aperture synthesis experiment of the 1665 MHz OH emission from W3 (OH) with full polarization information. We produced VLBI synthesis maps of all Stokes parameters of 16 spectral features that showed elliptical polarization. The magnitude and direction of the magnetic field have been obtained by the detection of 7 Zeeman pairs. The three dimensional orientation of the magnetic field can be obtained, following the theoretical arguments of Goldreich et. al., from the observation of π and σ components.

The feasibility of a noncontact sensor is investigated. This type of sensor can potentially be used for torque measurement in a speed-variable power transmission system. Torque can be read by examining the phase difference between two induction signals from respective magnetic sensors that detect the magnetic field intensity of permanent magnets mounted on the surface of a shaft in rotation. A real-time measuring algorithm that includes filtering and calibration is adopted to measure the torque magnitude. It is shown that this new torque sensor can perform well under rotation speeds ranging from 300 rpm to 500 rpm. As an interim report rather than a complete development, this work demonstrates the feasibility of noncontact torque measurement by monitoring a magnetic field. The result shows an error of less than 2% within the full test range, which is a sufficient competitive performance for commercial sensors. The price is very low compared to competitors in the marketplace, and the device does not require special handling of the shaft of the surface.

An approach is proposed to carry out multivariate calculations of the magnetic field distribution in the working gaps of a plate polygradient matrix of an electromagnetic separator, based on a combination of the advantages of two- and three-dimensional computer modeling. Two-dimensional geometric models of computational domains are developed, which differ in the geometric dimensions of the plate matrix elements and working air gaps. To determine the vector magnetic potential at the boundaries of two-dimensional computational domains, a computational 3D experiment is carried out. For this, three variants of the electromagnetic separator are selected, which differ in the size of the working air gaps of the polygradient matrices. For them, three-dimensional computer models are built, the spatial distribution of the magnetic field in the working intervals of the electromagnetic separator matrix and the obtained numerical values of the vector magnetic potential at the boundaries of the computational domains are investigated. The determination of the values of the vector magnetic potential for all other models is carried out by interpolation. The obtained values of the vector magnetic potential are used to set the boundary conditions in a computational 2D experiment. An approach to the choice of a rational version of a lamellar matrix is substantiated, which provides a solution to the problem according to the criterion of the effective area of the working area. Using the method of simple enumeration, a variant of the structure of a polygradient matrix with rational geometric parameters is selected. The productivity of the electromagnetic separator with rational geometric parameters of the matrix increased by 3–5 % with the same efficiency of extraction of ferromagnetic inclusions in comparison with the basic version of the device

The quantitative evaluation of defects in eddy current testing is of great significance. Impedance analysis, as a traditional method, is adopted to determine defects in the conductor, however, it is not able to depict the shape, size and location of defects quantitatively. In order to obtain more obvious characteristic quantities and improve the ability of eddy current testing to detect defects, the study of cracks in metal pipes is carried out by utilizing the analysis method of three-dimensional magnetic field in present paper. The magnetic field components in the space near the crack are calculated numerically by using finite element analysis. The simulation results confirm that the monitoring of the crack change can be achieved by measuring the magnetic field at the arrangement positions. Besides, the quantitative relationships between the shape, length of the crack and the magnetic field components around the metal pipe are obtained. The results show that the axial and radial magnetic induction intensities are affected more significantly by the cross-section area of the crack. Bz demonstrates obvious advantages in analyzing quantitatively crack circumference length. Therefore, the response signal in the three-dimensional direction of the magnetic field gets to intuitively reflect the change of the defect parameter, which proves the effectiveness and practicability of this method.

Neodymium magnets were independently discovered in 1984 by General Motors and Sumitomo. Today, they are the strongest type of permanent magnets commercially available. They are the most widely used industrial magnets with many applications, including in hard disk drives, cordless tools and magnetic fasteners. We use a vector potential approach, rather than the more usual magnetic potential approach, to derive the three-dimensional (3D) magnetic field for a neodymium magnet, assuming an idealized block geometry and uniform magnetization. For each field or observation point, the 3D solution involves 24 nondimensional quantities, arising from the eight vertex positions of the magnet and the three components of the magnetic field. The only unknown in the model is the value of magnetization, with all other model quantities defined in terms of field position and magnet location. The longitudinal magnetic field component in the direction of magnetization is bounded everywhere, but discontinuous across the magnet faces parallel to the magnetization direction. The transverse magnetic fields are logarithmically unbounded on approaching a vertex of the magnet.   doi:10.1017/S1446181120000097

ABSTRACT Stars form in highly magnetized, supersonic turbulent molecular clouds. Many of the tools and models that we use to carry out star formation studies rely upon the assumption of cloud isotropy. However, structures like high-density filaments in the presence of magnetic fields and magnetosonic striations introduce anisotropies into the cloud. In this study, we use the two-dimensional power spectrum to perform a systematic analysis of the anisotropies in the column density for a range of Alfvén Mach numbers ($\operatorname{\mathcal {M}_{\text{A}}}=0.1{\!-\!10}$) and turbulent Mach numbers ($\operatorname{\mathcal {M}}=2{\!-\!20}$), with 20 high-resolution, three-dimensional turbulent magnetohydrodynamic simulations. We find that for cases with a strong magnetic guide field, corresponding to $\operatorname{\mathcal {M}_{\text{A}}}\lt 1$, and $\operatorname{\mathcal {M}}\lesssim 4$, the anisotropy in the column density is dominated by thin striations aligned with the magnetic field, while for $\operatorname{\mathcal {M}}\gtrsim 4$ the anisotropy is significantly changed by high-density filaments that form perpendicular to the magnetic guide field. Indeed, the strength of the magnetic field controls the degree of anisotropy and whether or not any anisotropy is present, but it is the turbulent motions controlled by $\operatorname{\mathcal {M}}$ that determine which kind of anisotropy dominates the morphology of a cloud.

Abstract. Observations of the three-dimensional solar wind electron velocity distribution functions (VDF) using ϕ–θ plots often show a tongue of electrons that begins at the strahl and stretches toward a new population of electrons, termed the proto-halo, that exists near the projection of the magnetic field opposite that associated with the strahl. The energy range in which the tongue and proto-halo are observed forms a “diffusion zone”. The tongue first appears in energy generally near the lower-energy range of the strahl and in the absence of any clear core/halo signature. While the ϕ–θ plots give the appearance that the tongue and proto-halo are derived from the strahl, a close examination of their density suggests that their source is probably the upper-energy core/halo electrons which have been scattered by one or more processes into these populations.

Context. Magnetic helicity is approximately conserved in resistive magnetohydrodynamic models. It quantifies the entanglement of the magnetic field within the plasma. The transport and removal of helicity is crucial in both dynamo development in the solar interior and active region evolution in the solar corona. This transport typically leads to highly inhomogeneous distributions of entanglement. Aims. There exists no consistent systematic means of decomposing helicity over varying spatial scales and in localised regions. Spectral helicity decompositions can be used in periodic domains and is fruitful for the analysis of homogeneous phenomena. This paper aims to develop methods for analysing the evolution of magnetic field topology in non-homogeneous systems. Methods. The method of multi-resolution wavelet decomposition is applied to the magnetic field. It is demonstrated how this decomposition can further be applied to various quantities associated with magnetic helicity, including the field line helicity. We use a geometrical definition of helicity, which allows these quantities to be calculated for fields with arbitrary boundary conditions. Results. It is shown that the multi-resolution decomposition of helicity has the crucial property of local additivity. We demonstrate a general linear energy-topology conservation law, which significantly generalises the two-point correlation decomposition used in the analysis of homogeneous turbulence and periodic fields. The localisation property of the wavelet representation is shown to characterise inhomogeneous distributions, which a Fourier representation cannot. Using an analytic representation of a resistive braided field relaxation, we demonstrate a clear correlation between the variations in energy at various length scales and the variations in helicity at the same spatial scales. Its application to helicity flows in a surface flux transport model show how various contributions to the global helicity input from active region field evolution and polar field development are naturally separated by this representation. Conclusions. The multi-resolution wavelet decomposition can be used to analyse the evolution of helicity in magnetic fields in a manner which is consistently additive. This method has the advantage over more established spectral methods in that it clearly characterises the inhomogeneous nature of helicity flows where spectral methods cannot. Further, its applicability in aperiodic models significantly increases the range of potential applications.
