Two-layer piezomagnetic elements within a homogeneous magnetic field have been well studied. In this paper the effect of an inhomogeneous magnetic field distribution in the magnetic layer on the electromechanical properties of a two-layer element with planar conductor arrangement on top is investigated. Based on static Finite Element (FE) simulations the parameters of its network model are determined. The inductance of the arrangement with and without magnetic layer allows the calculation of the reluctances of the magnetic system. Magnetic field strength and moment of the fixed-fixed beam give the magnetomechanical transduction coefficient, moment and deflection the bending compliance. The dynamic behavior of the electromechanical transducer can be calculated efficiently by the completed network model in sensing as well as actuation direction.

The Magnetic Field

The paper presents research on magnetic field exciters dedicated to testing magnetocaloric materials (MCMs) as well as used in the design process of magnetic refrigeration systems. An important element of the proposed test stand is the system of magnetic field excitation. It should provide a homogeneous magnetic field with a controllable value of its intensity in the MCM testing region. Several concepts of a magnetic circuit when designing the field exciters have been proposed and evaluated. In the MCM testing region of the proposed exciters, the magnetic field is controlled by changing the structure of the magnetic circuit. A precise 3D field model of electromagnetic phenomena has been developed in the professional finite element method (FEM) package and used to design and analyze the exciters. The obtained results of the calculations of the magnetic field distribution in the working area were compared with the results of the measurements carried out on the exciter prototype. The conclusions resulting from the conducted research are presented and discussed.

The microstructure of aluminum nanopowder combustion crystalline products in air and the influence of a constant magnetic field (with induction of 0.3 T) on their structures have been studied. It was revealed that in the combustion products of free-poured aluminum nanopowder two-level whiskers are present. Hexagonal single crystals are formed by combustion in air in a homogeneous magnetic field, and in case of inhomogeneous magnetic field (with induction of 0.3 T) faceted elongated crystals of micron size are generated. The crystallites of such structure are formed due to the mass transfer of the combustion products in the direction of thermal flows. Ordered six-sided crystal structures are formed by overcooling the oxidation products by the action of magnetic field and by increasing the mobility of their structural units in recrystallization thermal wave. According to electron- microscope investigation the formation of the faceted crystals is possible with optimal sizes of combustion product particles.

Paramagnetic Ions

We have demonstrated that the relaxometry technique is very efficient to quantify paramagnetic ions duringin situelectrolysis measurements. Therefore, the goal of this work was to validate the relaxometry technique in the determination of the concentration of the ions contained in electrolytic solutions, Cu2+, Ni2+, Cr3+, and Mn2+, and compare it with other analytical methods. Two different NMR spectrometers were used: a commercial spectrometer with a homogeneous magnetic field and a home-built unilateral sensor with an inhomogeneous magnetic field. Without pretreatment, manganese ions do not have absorption bands in the UV-Visible region, but it is possible to quantify them using relaxometry (the limit of quantification is close to 10−5 mol L−1). Therefore, since the technique does not require chemical indicators and is a cheap and robust method, it can be used as a replacement for some conventional quantification techniques. The relaxometry technique could be applied to evaluate the corrosion of metallic surfaces.

The vacuum-arc plasma source with a rectilinear filter has been optimized for deposition of coatings on large size products. The calculations of the magnetic configuration options of the system were performed by using the FEMM program. New design of the output coil of the filter allows increase by 1.3 times the efficiency of plasma transportation to the substrate with a diameter of 300 mm. Plasma instabilities are proposed for the explanation the features of the motion of vacuum-arc plasma through the regions of an inhomogeneous magnetic field in a rectilinear macroparticles filter with a "magnetic island".

Real-time motion capture of the human arm in the home environment has many usecases, such as video game and therapy applications. The required tracking can be based onoff-the-shelf Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) with integrated three-axis accelerometers, gyroscopes,and magnetometers. However, this usually requires a homogeneous magnetic field to correctfor orientation drift, which is often not available inside buildings. In this paper, RPMC (RestPose Magnetometer-based drift Correction), a novel method that is robust to long term drift inenvironments with inhomogeneous magnetic fields, is presented. The sensor orientation is estimatedby integrating the angular velocity measured by the gyroscope and correcting drift around the pitchand roll axes with the acceleration information. This commonly leads to short term drift aroundthe gravitational axis. Here, during the calibration phase, the local magnetic field direction for eachsensor, and its orientation relative to the inertial frame, are recorded in a rest pose. It is assumed thatarm movements in free space are exhausting and require regular rest. A set of rules is used to detectwhen the user has returned to the rest pose, to then correct for the drift that has occurred with themagnetometer. Optical validations demonstrated accurate (root mean square error RMS = 6.1), lowlatency (61 ms) tracking of the user’s wrist orientation, in real time, for a full hour of arm movements.The reduction in error relative to three alternative methods implemented for comparison was between82.5% and 90.7% for the same movement and environment. Therefore, the proposed arm trackingmethod allows for the correction of orientation drift in an inhomogeneous magnetic field by exploitingthe user’s need for frequent rest.

Stochastic methods offer a certain robustness quality to the optimization process. In this paper, the Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) searching techniques are applied to the shape optimization of an electromagnet. The magnetic field is computed using the 2D finite element code FEMM. The aim of optimization is the search for an optimal pole shape geometry leading to a homogeneous magnetic field distribution in the region of interest.

Magneto Rheological

Magneto Rheological Elastomers (MREs) are composite materials based on an elastomer filled by magnetic particles. Anisotropic MRE can be easily manufactured by curing the material under homogeneous magnetic field which creates column of particles. The magnetic and elastic properties are actually coupled making these MREs suitable for energy conversion. From these remarkable properties, an energy harvesting device is considered through the application of a DC bias magnetic induction on two MREs as a metal piece is applying an AC shear strain on them. Such strain therefore changes the permeabilities of the elastomers, hence generating an AC magnetic induction which can be converted into AC electrical signal with the help of a coil. The device is simulated with a Finite Element Method software to examine the effect of the MRE parameters, the DC bias magnetic induction and applied shear strain (amplitude and frequency) on the resulting electrical signal.

Efficient and accurate finite element (FE) modelling of bolted joints is essential for increasing confidence in the investigation of structural vibrations. However, modelling of bolted joints for the investigation is often found to be very challenging. This paper proposes an appropriate FE representation of bolted joints for the prediction of the dynamic behaviour of a bolted joint structure. Two different FE models of the bolted joint structure with two different FE element connectors, which are CBEAM and CBUSH, representing the bolted joints are developed. Modal updating is used to correlate the two FE models with the experimental model. The dynamic behaviour of the two FE models is compared with experimental modal analysis to evaluate and determine the most appropriate FE model of the bolted joint structure. The comparison reveals that the CBUSH element connectors based FE model has a greater capability in representing the bolted joints with 86 percent accuracy and greater efficiency in updating the model parameters. The proposed modelling technique will be useful in the modelling of a complex structure with a large number of bolted joints.

The flow, energy distribution and concentrations profiles of Ti ions in cathodic arc are studied by test particle Monte Carlo simulations with considering the mass transfer through the macro-particles filters with inhomogeneous magnetic field. The loss of ions due to their deposition on filter walls was calculated as a function of electric current and number of turns in the coil. The magnetic field concentrator that arises in the bending region of the filters leads to increase the loss of the ions component of cathodic arc. The ions loss up to 80 % of their energy resulted by the paired elastic collisions which correspond to the experimental results. The ion fluxes arriving at the surface of the substrates during planetary rotating of them opposite the evaporators mounted to each other at an angle of 120° characterized by the wide range of mutual overlapping.
