Results of investigations on small hysteresis loops of yttrium-based high temperature ceramical compounds are presented. A proposed theoretical model describing the magnetic induction profile in a sample has been used for numerical approximation of the experimental data. The results of this fitting procedure then allow one to obtain detailed information on the pinning force's magnetic field dependence as well as the critical current of ceramical compounds.

We report on the interplay between ferromagnetism and superconductivity in trilayers La0.7Ca0.3MnO3/YBa2Cu3O7/La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 made of half metallic manganite and high temperature superconductor cuprate. Samples with a fully oxygenated cuprate show a magnetic field interval where the magnetizations of the manganite are aligned antiparallel. A considerable magnetoresistance accompanies the switching between magnetization configurations (parallel vs. antiparallel) of the manganite moments. Suppression of the free carrier density of the cuprate which occurs upon oxygen depletion, results in deep modifications in the shape of the normal state hysteresis loops indicating that there may be a magnetic coupling mediated by free carrier density of the cuprate. This result outlines the importance of quasiparticle transmission in the interplay between ferromagnetism and superconductivity in this kind of samples.

This paper describes a theoretical model for analyzing the dynamic characteristics of wedge-shaped underplatform dampers for turbine blades, with the objective that this model can be used to minimize the need for conducting expensive experiments for optimizing such dampers. The theoretical model presented in the paper has several distinct features to achieve this objective including: (i) it makes use of experimentally measured contact characteristics (hysteresis loops) for description of the basic contact behavior of a given material combination with representative surface finish, (ii) the damper motion between the blade platform locations is determined according to the motion of the platforms, (iii) three-dimensional damper motion is included in the model, and (iv) normal load variation across the contact surfaces during vibration is included, thereby accommodating contact opening and closing during vibration. A dedicated nonlinear vibration analysis program has been developed for this study and predictions have been verified against experimental data obtained from two test rigs. Two cantilever beams were used to simulate turbine blades with real underplatform dampers in the first experiment. The second experiment comprised real turbine blades with real underplatform damper. Correlation of the predictions and the experimental results revealed that the analysis can predict (i) the optimum damping condition, (ii) the amount of response reduction, and (iii) the natural frequency shift caused by friction dampers, all with acceptable accuracy. It has also been shown that the most commonly used underplatform dampers in practice are prone to rolling motion, an effect which reduces the damping in certain modes of vibration usually described as the lower nodal diameter bladed-disk modes.

We have measured the transition temperature, critical field, magnetoresistance, and Hall effect for the high temperature superconductor Y-Ba-Cu-O in magnetic fields up to 23T in the temperature range 4.2 to 125K. Meissner studies at zero magnetic field were also performed in some cases. We find a strong dependence of these parameters on the relative percentage of the correct phase of Y-Ba-Cu-O in the sample. We report new results on magnetoresistance and Hall effect in these materials.

Josephson junctions were fabricated using high Tc superconductor. The I-V characteristics of the junctions were measured at liquid N2 temperature. The temperature and magnetic field dependence of the critical current were obtained and compared with theories.

The yield stress is one of the most important parameters that characterize viscoplastic properties of magnetorheological (MR) fluids. Based on the microstructure of magnetic-chain a theoretical model is developed to analyze the effect of the applied magnetic field on the yield stress. It has been shown that the values of the yield stress calculated by the model agree well with the experimental data.
