Eddy currents induced in a conducting rod of finite length by a coaxial encircling coil

چکیده
Abstract This paper describes the calculation of eddy currents in a cylindrical conductive rod of finite length due to a coaxial circular coil carrying an alternating current. The coil impedance variation with frequency is determined from the field for an arbitrary coaxial location of the coil. Expressions for electromagnetic field and impedance of a coil encircling an infinite cylindrical rod are well known, the results being expressed as infinite integrals involving Bessel functions. For a finite length rod, additional boundary conditions must be satisfied at the ends. The extra boundary conditions are accommodated here by recasting the problem in a domain of finite extent in the axial direction. The axial length of the truncated domain is arbitrary and can be large compared with the coil length or the length of the rod. Therefore, the truncated domain solution can yield results that are numerically as close to the infinite domain solution as desired. The results provide a simple means of calculating the impedance of an inductor with a lossy core and can be used to investigate the linear properties of the core material.

Change in impedance of an encircling coil is obtained in the present paper for the case where the electric conductivity and magnetic permeability of a metal cylindrical tube depend on the radial coordinate. The system of equations for the vector potential is solved by means of the Fourier cosine transform. The solution is expressed in terms of improper integral containing modified Bessel functi...

Introduction: Rapidly switched magnetic field gradients induce eddy currents in the nearby conducting structures of the MRI scanner. These eddy currents in turn generate an opposing and distorting transient magnetic field in the region of interest (ROI) with consequential image distortion. A tailored current pulse is usually applied to minimize the undesired effects of the eddy currents in the ...
