Magnetic properties of soft magnetic composites under three-dimensional excitations

Magnetic and Electrical Properties of Nanocrystalline Fe85Si10Ni5/Phenolic Resin Soft Magnetic Composites

In this work, nanocrystalline Fe85Si10Ni5 soft magnetic powders were prepared by mechanical alloying and subsequent annealing to reduce the internal stresses and lattice strains. The powders were mixed with phenolic resin and warm pressed to produce nanostructured soft magnetic composites. The effect of annealing time and temperature on the crystalline structure, microstructure and magnetic pro...

Morphing soft magnetic composites.

Magnet filler-polymer matrix composites (Magpol) are an emerging class of morphing materials. Applications of Magpol can include artificial muscles, drug delivery, adaptive optics and self healing structures. Advantages of Magpol include remote contactless actuation, several actuation modes, high actuation strain and strain rate, self-sensing and quick response. The actuation modes of Magpol, i...

Modeling of soft composites under three-dimensional loading

The finite deformation response of fiber-reinforced hyperelastic solids under three-dimensional loading is studied through finite element simulations. The composites are modeled using representative volume elements with random fiber arrangement and periodic boundary conditions. Different matrices and volume fractions are considered. It is found that the shear stiffness of composites with Neo-Ho...

Three-Dimensional Magnetic Reconnection

The importance of magnetic reconnection as an energy release mechanism in many solar, stellar, magnetospheric and astrophysical phenomena has long been recognised. Reconnection is the only mechanism by which magnetic fields can globally restructure, enabling them to access a lower energy state. Over the past decade, there have been some major advances in our understanding of threedimensional re...
