We present a method, supported by theoretical analysis, for optimizing the usage of the critical rare earth element dysprosium in $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ (NdFeB)-based permanent magnets. In this method, we use Dy selectively in locations such as magnet edges and faces, where demagnetization factors are largest, rather than uniformly throughout the bulk sample. A200 nm thick Dy film was sputtered onto a commercial N-38, NdFeB magnets with a thickness of 3 mm and post-annealed at temperatures from $600-700^{\circ}C$. Magnets displayed enhanced coercivities after post-annealing and as much as a 5 % increase in the energy product, while requiring a total Dy content of 0.06 wt. % - a small fraction of that used in the commercial grade Dy-NdFeB magnets. By assuming all Dy diffused into NdFeB magnets, the improvement in energy product corresponds to a saving of over 1% Dy (critical element). Magnets manufactured using this technique will therefore be higher performing which would potentially broaden the application space of these magnets in the traction motors of hybrid and pure electric vehicles, and wind generators.

The prediction of drawing load is very important in the drawing process. However, it is not easy to calculate the drawing load for the shape drawing process through a theoretical model because of a complex arbitrary final cross section shape. The purpose of this study is to predict drawing load in shape drawing process. The cross section of product is divided with small angle as much as similar with fan-shape. The drawing load of each section was calculated by theoretical model of round to round drawing process. And the shape drawing load was determined by summation of drawing load of each section. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified through the FE analysis and shape drawing experiment. It had a good agreement between proposed method, FE analysis and experiment within about 3% errors.

Barium ferrites (BaFe12O19) were synthesized at the various temperature by the coprecipitation-oxidation method. X-ray diffraction Rietveld analysis for barium ferrites were performed, their microstructures were observed and their magnetic properties were measured, in order to analyze the crystal structures and determine the optimal temperature of heat-treatment. The barium ferrite, its average particle size 80 nm, was formed at 600℃ through the hematite (α-Fe2O3), but the site occupations of the Fe's in tetrahedral and bipyramidal sites and of the Ba relatively low. Increasing the heating temperature, these occupations and the magnetization increased, and the crystal c-axis decreased. These changes were very small at the heat treatment of above 800℃, but the particles were rapidly grown. It is suggested that the optimal temperature of heat-treatment is 800℃, at which temperature crystal structure is relatively stable and the particles hardly ever grow.

In the present study, external restraints imposed normal to the plate during the cooling stage were determined to be effective for reduction of the angular distortion of butt-welded or fillet-welded plate. A welding analysis model under external force during the cooling stage was idealized as a prismatic member subjected to pure bending. The external restraint was represented by vertical force on both sides of the work piece and bending stress forms in the transverse direction. The additional bending stress distribution across the plate thickness was reflected in the improved inherent strain model, and a set of inherent strain charts with different levels of bending stress were newly calculated. From an elastic linear FE analysis using the inherent strain values taken from the chart and comparing them with those from a 3D thermal elasto-plastic FE analysis, welding deformation can be calculated.

A coupled method, that combines the Ritz method and the finite element (FE) method, is proposed to solve the vibration problem of rectangular thin and thick plates with general boundary conditions. The eigenvalue partial differential equation(s) of the plate is (are) first reduced to a set of eigenvalue ordinary differential equations by the application of the Ritz method. The resulting eigenvalue differential equations are then reduced to an eigenvalue algebraic equation system using the finite element method. The natural boundary conditions of the plate problem including the free edge and free corner boundary conditions are also implemented in a simple and accurate manner. Various boundary conditions including simply supported, clamped and free boundary conditions are considered. Comparisons with existing numerical and analytical solutions show that the proposed mixed method can produce highly accurate results for the problems considered using a small number of Ritz terms and finite elements. The proposed mixed Ritz-FE formulation is also compared with the mixed FE-Ritz formulation which has been recently proposed by the present author and his co-author. It is found that the proposed mixed Ritz-FE formulation is more efficient than the mixed FE-Ritz formulation for free vibration analysis of rectangular plates with Levy-type boundary conditions.

In this paper, the study of the optimum design for a geometry of the handle bar to obtain a high stiffness and light weight is investigated, using EDISON simulation program. High stiffness and weight lightening are considered as the major performance indicators of the component of the bicycle. Four design factors and three levels of the design factors are selected for the structural optimization and experiments are designed using the orthogonal array of L9 by Taguchi method. We calculated SN ratio of larger-the-better and smaller-the-better characteristics from FEA results and analysed the effects of design factors on characteristics. We choosed the optimum level of design factors based on deflection and safety factor. Comparing the results of FE analysis with converted value of predicted SN ration, we made sure for reliability of Taguchi method and FE method for structural optimization.

Nanoparticles of $Fe_2O_3$ with a mean particle size of 4-30 nm have been prepared by a pulsed wire evaporation method, and its structural and magnetic properties were studied by SQUID magnetometer and Mossbauer spectroscopy. From the main peak intensity of XRD and absorption rate of Mossbauer spectrum, the amounts of $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ and $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ in as-prepared sample are about 70% and 30%, respectively. The coercivity (53 Oe) and the saturation magnetization (14 emu/g) are about 20% of those of the bulk $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$. The low value of coercivity and saturation magnetization indicate that the $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ phase nearly shows the spin glass-like behavior. Analysis of the set of Mossbauer spectrum indicates a distribution of magnetic hyperfine fields due to the particle size distribution yielding 20 nm of average particle size. The magnetic hyperfine parameters are consistent with values reported of bulk $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ and $alpha-Fe_2O_3$. A quadrupole line on the center of spectrum represents of superparamagnetic phase of $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ with a mean particle size of 7 nm or below.

Spin exchange interactions of $(C_2N_2H_{10})[Fe(HPO_3)F_3]$ were examined by performing a spin dimer analysis based on extended Huckel tight binding method and a mapping analysis based on first principles density functional theory. Spin exchange interactions occur through the super-superexchange paths $J_1$ and $J_2$ in $(C_2N_2H_{10})[Fe(HPO_3)F_3]$. In the super-superexchange path $J_2$ magnetic orbital interactions between eg-block levels are much stronger than those from $t_{2g}$-block levels. Both electronic structure calculations show that the spin exchange interaction through the super-superexchange path $J_2$ is much stronger than that of $J_1$.

Using a three-dimensional (3-D) FE analyses, this paper provides the shape optimization of the standard test specimen for the torsion test, as well as a method for analyzing effects of misalignment under the angular and concentric misalignment. For verification, FE analysis is performed, which is designed for the perfectly full-model. To optimize the design shape of the torsion-controlled fatigue test specimen, we performed sensitivity analysis using shape parameters. Additionally, two kinds of misalignment (angular misalignment and concentric misalignment) are applied to the circular and tubular specimens to show effects of misalignments in the FE analysis. The present results will provide valuable information for designing shafts for every kind of mechanical system under torsional force.
