Green vehicles include electric vehicles, natural gas vehicles, fuel cell vehicles (FCV), and vehicles running on fuel such as a biodiesel or an ethanol blend. An FCV is equipped with a cylinder valve installed in an ultra-high pressure vessel to control the hydrogen flow. For this purpose, an optimum design of the solenoid actuator is necessary to ensure reliability when driving an FCV. In this study, an electromagnetic field analysis for ensuring reliable operation of the solenoid actuator was conducted by using Maxwell V15. The electromagnetic field analysis was performed by magnetostatic technique, according to the distance between magnetic poles in order to predict the attraction force. Finally, the attraction force was validated through comparison between the Maxwell results and measurement results. From the results, the error of attraction force ranged from 4.53 % to 9.05 % at testing conditions.

The purpose of this paper is analyses about in 12kV/50kA vacuum interrupter with an axial magnetic field type electrode system through the studies of electromagnetic phenomena. Vacuum interrupter is important in electric safety part. In this paper, we performed analysis of electric field, magnetic field, current density in AMF electrode using the Maxwell 3D simulation. The current distribution and magnetic field in simple models are analyzed to verify its efficiency and accuracy. In addition the validity of FEM is confirmed by performing the analyses of distribution in current density and magnetic flux density.

This paper describes the design and analysis of a tubular linear actuator for intelligent AAP (Active Accelerate Pedal) system. In a driving emergency, the electromagnetic actuator produces an additional pedal force such as the active pedal force and vibration force to release the driver's foot on accelerator pedal. A prior study found that the linear actuator with a ferromagnetic core had a problem in transferring the additional force naturally to a driver due to the cogging force. To reduce the cogging force and obtain higher performance of the AAP system, a coreless tubular linear actuator is suggested. Electromagnetic finite element analysis is executed to analyze and design the coreless tubular actuator, and dynamic analysis is performed to characterize the dynamic performance of the AAP system with the suggested tubular actuator for two types of thrust force.

In this paper, we try to analyze the torque of electromagnetic clutch by using FEM. For Analysis of the magnetostatic field, we constitute axi-symmetric FEM model of an electromagnetic clutch. By resorting to the theory of magnetic circuits, we obtain a solution of theoretical torque to compare with the result of numerical analysis. From the result of numerical analysis, the air gap of electromagnetic clutch between armature and rotor is important to influence on the torque and the torque changes with the air gap of 0.2mm∼0.1mm Also we observe the characteristic of the torque by changing the relative permeability of each parts. Finally an optimized design of the electromagnetic clutch is proposed.

This study tries to analyzes the static friction torque that generated in a micro-electromagnetic clutch by using FEM. For the purpose of design change and optimization of the micro-electromagnetic clutch, the static friction torque prediction is very important. We construct the axi symmetric FEM model for analyze the static friction torque and the real material properties are substituted to the FEM model. For a test, predicted static friction torque is compared with experimental one to discuss the rationality of torque analysis process. The analytical result agrees well to experimental data. explaining the validity of the mathematical process and FEM model.

In in vitro cell experiments for the biological assessment of electromagnetic (EM) field, exposure system (ES) must be analyzed in terms of current density (J) and induced electric field intensity (E). Although in uniform B field, E and J in the sample medium are not distributed uniformly because of conductivity in sample dish. Thus, the precise estimation for E and J induced by uniform ELF within sample media is very important keys for successful in in vitro experiments. In this paper, we designed in vitro ELF ES with electromagnetic analysis using MATLAB simulator. Then we calculated from the measured B field to verify induced E & J distribution for random locations of cells within media in two cases of samples existence or not. ES with B field ranging from 0 to 20G consists of Helmholz coil and current generator based on the microprocessor. Also, we developed ELFES for each B field generation as uniform and non-uniform modes.

In this paper, electromagnetic wave environment generated from electronic equipments was investigated. Since the main source of electromagnetic waves are electronic equipments, the field intensity of a harmful electromagnetic wave was measured and its harmful level was analyzed. It was also found that the result was 23%${\sim}$38% in case of TV set and microwave oven. Based on this analysis, this study proposed efficient shielding method to suppress unwanted electromagnetic wave.

This paper shows the results of emissive electromagnetic field characteristics on medium voltage power line(22.9 kV). The measurements were taken when communications signals were coupled into the 22.9 kV main wire of medium voltage power-line in a frequency range of 9 kHz to 30 MHz. The results of the measurement are as follows-emissive electromagnetic Held characteristics from multi carrier signals were superior to a single carrier signal. And we confirmed the PLC transmission distance was 1.8 km when multi-carrier transmission power was 20 dBm. Electric field strength was under the 40 dBuV/m at 30 MHz when 10 m method was measured.

There are few reports of high frequency loss behavior in the near-field for magnetic films with semiconducting properties, even though semiconducting magnetic materials, such as soft magnetic amorphous alloys and nanocrystalline thin films, have been demonstrated. The electromagnetic loss behavior of multilayer magnetic films with semiconducting properties on the microstrip line in quasi-microwave frequency band was analyzed numerically using a commercial finite-element based electromagnetic solver. The large increase in the absorption performance and broadband characteristics of the semiconducting/insulating layer magnetic films examined in this study were attributed to an increase in the loss factor of resistive loss. The electromagnetic reflection increased significantly with increasing conductivity, and the loss power deteriorated significantly. The numerical results of the magnetic field distribution showed that a strong radiated signal on the microstrip line was emitted with increasing conductivity and decreasing film thickness due to re-reflection of the radiated wave from the surface of the magnetic film, even though the emitted levels varied with film thickness.

This study aims at analyzing the flow characteristics of the electromagnetic pump using a linear induction motor (LIM) for transferring molten metals. The flow characteristics of the pump are simulated by magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) program. In this system, the LIM is used for transferring molten metal by electromagnetic force. The molten metal is treated as the secondary part of the LIM. Since the LIM produces an electromagnetic force in the duct, the molten metal can flow from the furnace to the reservoir. The flow characteristics of the pump are analyzed using MHD program for magnetic field of 0.1[T] in duct. In order to prove the analysis, we made a prototype electromagnetic pump using LIM.
