Design Optimization for Generating a High Static Magnetic Field

This paper details the creation of a device capable of generating a powerful and consistent static magnetic field. This apparatus serves the purpose of quantifying the magnetostrictive strain found in materials like annealed cobalt ferrite and Terfenol-D, specifically those shaped as cylindrical rods. In our investigation, the use of static magnetic fields proves most advantageous. This choice is made to mitigate the generation of eddy currents, which would inevitably occur if the magnetic field intensity were varied. The fundamental idea behind this design involves employing a C-shaped iron core constructed from low-carbon mild steel. On this core, three coils are mounted, each capable of producing one-third of the required 9000 Oersted (Oe) magnetic field strength. The test specimen is situated within the “jaws” of the C-shaped core, thus completing the magnetic circuit. To manage the heat generated by each coil, a cooling system consisting of copper tubes is employed. These tubes facilitate the flow of air to dissipate the heat. To model and predict the magnetic field strength produced by the coils, finite element analysis (FEMM) software is utilized, and the results align closely with the anticipated outcomes. This design effectively generates a robust and unchanging magnetic field measuring a stable 9000 Oe in total. Consequently, this equipment finds utility in characterizing the magnetic properties of specific materials.

Methods for measuring pre-,intra-,and postoperative skin thickness for cochlear implants

Objective:This study was conducted to determine whether there is a reliable method for measuring the thickness of the retroauricular skin before,during,and after cochlear implantation,which allows the assessment of the optimal force of the external magnet of the cochlear implant(CI).Methods:The retroauricular skin thickness of 83 patients who received a CI was measured using three different methods.The thickness was measured on pre-and postoperative CT images,as well as intraoperatively.The magnet category chosen by the surgeon was recorded when the implant was switched on and during the first follow-up visit.Correlation analyses were performed on the different skin thickness measurements and between the skin thickness and magnet strength categories.Results:Only six patients required an exchange of the magnet until the follow-up.Although the median absolute thickness differed significantly between the three measures(p<0.0001),their thickness values showed highly significant correlations(Pearson’s r=0.457-0.585;p<0.01).In addition,magnet strength,was significantly correlated with the flap thickness determined pre-,post-,and during surgery.The lowest correlation with magnet strength was found in the intraoperative needle method.Conclusion:All three measurements methods provided a suitable base for determining the ideal magnetic force.However,of particular interest were the pre-and postoperative CT measurements.The first enabled the early assessment of the required magnetic strength and thus a timely postoperative supply,whereas the latter helped to estimate the need for magnetic strength reduction during follow-up care and the feasibility of an early swith-on.

Electromagnetic Environmental Impact of 500-kV Double -Circuit Transmission Lines

The strength of the power frequency electric intensity and magnetic field of the 500-kV double circuit transmission lines was calculated by using the equivalent charge method and the Ampere's Law, and the environmental impact factors of the fields were evaluated. By optimizing the phase sequence, the frequency electric intensity and magnetic field strength can be reduced. Within a distance of 25 m from the center of the transmission line, the power frequency electric intensity and magnetic field strength fall off sharply with the distance increase. Finally, the best phase sequence and the minimum ground clearance of the transmission lines were obtained to meet the requirements of the least impact on envionment.

LOW FREQUENCY EXTENDED RADIO SOURCES——MAGNETIC FIELD STRENGTH AND CLASSIFICATION ATTEMPT

Using very recently published X-ray and low frequency radio data we have calculated thelower limit of the magnetic field and several other related quantities for 25 clusters of galaxies（which are classified into 'normal', distant and steep spectrum clusters） and 12 radiogalaxies. Our main results are as follows: （1）The magnetic field in the extended lobes of radio galaxies is larger than 10-6 G.Thus radio galaxies, whether they belong to clusters or not, emit few X-rays through theinverse Compton effect. （2）The low frequency radio emission from clusters can be divided into two components:one or several radio galaxies, and an extended halo where the magnetic field is about 10-8G, and where inverse Compton X-rays are most probably emitted. （3）Our sample of distant clusters is biased towards high radio luminosity and givesresults comparable to those obtained for radio galaxies. This can naturally be explained bythe fact that the radio galaxy component daminates the radio emission. （4）In steep spectrum clusters, the equipartition magnetic field is the same as that in'normal' clusters, but the lower limit of the magnetic field has a rather high value andseems to increase with the spectral indcx. We explain this as follows: a high frequencyturnover can occur hi the weak intraculuster magnetic field; the extrapolation of the power lawelectron spectrum is then incorrect, and the magnetic field; the extrapolation of the power lawvalue.

Effects of punch size, magnetic field, and magnetorheological elastomers medium on forming T-shaped thin-walled Inconel 718 tubes

This study aims at investigating the impact of using the Magnetorheological Elastomers(MREs)medium to improve the formability of T-shaped Inconel 718 tubes during the bulging process.Besides,the influence of the punch size and the intensity of the magnetic field on the branch height and wall thickness distribution of the T-shaped Inconel 718 tubes are also explored.The results showed that the parts formed by the punch with a length of 5 mm in the pressurization zone have better forming quality.The external magnetic field can promote a high branch,and by increasing the intensity of the magnetic field,the branch height was increased and then decreased.At the same time,the magnetic field reduced the amount of material accumulation between the guiding zone and the bulging zone.Besides,it promotes the material in the guiding zone to enter the bulging zone and improve the bulging ability of the T-shaped tube.

Alignment and measurement of the magnetic field for the BESⅢ muon counter

Based on cosmic ray events without a magnetic field taken with the BESIII detector during the summer shutdown of BEPCII in 2012 and di-muon events from a data sample taken at center-of-mass energy of 3.686 GeV in 2009, we compare the coordinates of hits registered in the BESIII muon counter with the expected interaction point extrapolated from reconstructed tracks from the inner tracking system in the absence of a magnetic field. By minimizing the difference, we align the muon counter with the inner tracking system. Moreover, the strength of the magnetic field in the muon counter is measured for the first time with di-muon events from data taken at a center- of-mass energy of 3.686 GeV. After the Mignment and the magnetic field strength measurement, the offsets in the reconstructed hit positions for muon tracks are reduced, which improves the muon identification. The alignment and magnetic field strength measurement have been adopted in the latest version of the BESIII offiine software system. This addition to the software reduces the systematic uncertainty for the physics analysis in cases where the muon counter information is used.
