A constrained conjugate gradient method for solving the magnetic field boundary integral equation

It is well-known that electromagnetic solutions of boundary integral equations for perfectly electrically conducting scatterers are nonunique for those frequencies which correspond to interior resonances of the scatterer. In this paper a simple and efficient computational method is developed, in which the interior integral representations,...

Neurobehavioral effects among subjects exposed to high static and gradient magnetic fields from a 1.5 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging system: a case-crossover pilot study

The interactive use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques is increasing in operating theaters. A study was performed on 17 male company volunteers to assess the neurobehavioral effects of exposure to magnetic fields from a 1.5 Tesla MRI system. The subjects' neurobehavioral performances on a neurobehavioral test battery were compared in...

Ferromagnetic hysteresis and the effective field

The Jiles-Atherton model of the behavior of ferromagnetic materials determines the irreversible magnetization from the effective field by using a differential equation. This paper presents an exact, analytical solution to the equation, one displaying hysteresis. The inclusion of magnetomechanical couplings for various forms of the...

Design and evaluation of carbon fibre-reinforced launch packages with segmented, copper and molybdenum fibre armatures

Fibre armatures have been studied both dynamically and statically to gain insight in their electrothermal and mechanical behaviour. In the first part of this paper, the results of launch experiments with single and multi-segment copper and molybdenum fibre armatures integrated in carbon-fibre reinforced launch packages are discussed. The launch...
