Previous researchers have proved that units constituting monodisperse bilayer foams can transform reversibly by changing foam liquid fraction. Structural transformation of bilayer ferro-foams caused by magnetic field is investigated in this paper. It is observed that bilayer ferro-foams transform from Tóth structure to honeycomb structure caused by liquid fraction change which attributes to foam imbibition under a uniform magnetic gradient field. In order to acquire critical structural transformation liquid fraction range, foam liquid fractions are calculated by image analysis. However, we also observed that, when applying a homogeneous magnetic field, bilayer ferro-foams can also perform this transformation at a constant liquid fraction. This phenomenon is related to energy absorption of foam system, which is induced by magnetic interaction of magnetic moments after applying a magnetic field. This self-organizational behavior of foam structure is believed to be based on energy minimization principle. This study opens possible applications in the field of metal foam preparation.

Abstract In this work, consideration is given to capillary convection on ferrofluids from the concentration gradient induced when a nonhomogeneous magnetic field is applied. It is known that mass transfer along an interface between two fluids can appear due to a gradient of the surface tension in the so-called Marangoni effect (or Gibbs–Marangoni effect). Because the surface tension is both thermal and concentration dependent, Marangoni convection can be induced by either a thermal or a concentration gradient, where in the former case, it is generally referred as thermocapillary convection. Now, it has been theoretically and experimentally demonstrated that a ferrofluid under the action of a non-homogeneous magnetic field can induce a concentration gradient of suspended magnetic nanoparticles, and also the effect of Fe3O4 nanoparticles on the surface tension has been measured. Therefore, by deductive reasoning and taking into account the above mentioned facts, it is permissible to infer ferrohydrodynamic capillary convection on magnetic fluids under the presence of a magnetic gradient field. Utilizing a simplified physical model, the phenomenon was investigated and it was found that ferrohydrodynamic-Marangoni convection could be induced with particle size in the range up to 10 nm, which is the range of magnetic fluids to escape magnetic agglomeration.

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.

A homogeneous magnetic field of 1.1 T strength exhibits a significant influence on the activity of the enzyme ascorbic acid oxidase in vitro. A Lineweaver-Burk plot of the reaction shows the typical pattern of a mixed-type inhibition, i.e. a larger rate of reaction at low substrate concentrations and a smaller rate of reaction at high substrate concentration than that of the control without magnetic field applied.

This article proposes a simple physical-based model to describe and predict the performance of axially compressed magnetorheological elastomer cylinders used as vibration and shock absorbers. The model describes the magnetorheological elastomer macroscopic stiffness changes because of an externally applied magnetic field from a microscopic composite cell of silicone rubber and carbonyl iron particle. Despite neglecting the material hyperelasticity, anisotropy and adjacent magnetic interaction, the model describes effectively the effect of the magnetic field on the macroscopic modulus of elasticity. The changes in the mechanical properties with the induced magnetic field are measured on samples of different particle concentration based on volume percentage, that is, 10 and 30 percent concentration of iron particles in a silicone rubber matrix. The manufacturing process of the samples is detailed, as well as the experimental validation of the effective stiffness change under a magnetic field in terms of transmissibility and mobility testing. However, the prediction seems to be limited by the linear elastic material model. Predictions and measurements are compared, showing that the model is capable of predicting the tunability of the dynamic/shock absorber and that the proposed devices have a possible application in the reduction of mechanical vibrations.

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.

Weak Ferromagnetic

The magnetic interaction between the crystallites of weak ferromagnetic α-Fe2O3 has been studied by combining SR based X-ray diffraction with an externally applied magnetic field. The measurements were performed with several polycrystalline α-Fe2O3 [1,2] samples (dry or in suspensions) placed in a half-filled cylindrical container in ambient conditions. The axis of the cylindrical container was oriented vertically parallel to the applied dc magnetic field. The polycrystalline sample had a free surface, so the α-Fe2O3 crystallites were free to move. The full Debye-Scherrer diffraction rings were measured with a 2D pixel detector at the beamline ID-15B at ESRF. In the absence of the magnetic field the intensity distribution over azimuthal angle was a uniform, i.e. there was no texture. The applied maximal field, B=0.9T was too small to change the magnetic ordering of α-Fe2O3 but it was sufficiently strong to reorient large amount of crystallites in order to minimize the angle between their ferromagnetic moment direction and the external field. Pronounced texture patterns with clear maxima in the angular distribution of the intensity across each Debye-Scherrer ring were observed. The observed textured intensity distribution was analyzed quantitatively by using a model based on the magnetic anisotropy observed in single crystals of α-Fe2O3. The analysis yielded two important parameters: (i) the width of the angular distribution of the ferromagnetic moments directions around the external field direction, and (ii) the relative quantity of the crystallites that did reorient in the external field. The α-Fe2O3 samples were also characterized with TEM technique. The analysis of X-ray and TEM studies provide new conclusions about the magnetic interaction between the α-Fe2O3 crystallites [3]. The proposed measurement technique can be applied to study other weak ferromagnetic materials.
