In this paper, we calculated the axial magnetic field at mid-gap plane between upper and lower electrode in vacuum interrupter by means of commercial finite element method Maxwell 3D and compared on the basis of "effective area" criterion. The models used in this paper are coil type(axial magnetic field) vacuum interrupter electrodes which have different numbers of coil segment. We used Dr. Schulmann's experimental equation which indicates minimum critical value of axial magnetic field to diffuse arc.

An electromagnetic launching system presents a viable projectile propulsion alternative with low cost and minimal environmental drawbacks. A coil gun system propels a projectile using an electromagnetic force and the system is mainly employed in military weapon systems and space launch systems. In this paper, we perform optimization design to improve the muzzle velocity by analyzing the sensitivity. The muzzle velocity, which is the most important design function variable, is affected by design variables including the number of axial turns in the electromagnetic coil, number of radial turns in the electromagnetic coil, initial distance between the projectile and the coil, inner radius of the electromagnetic coil, and length of the projectile. An orthogonal arrays matrix is configured, and a finite element analysis is performed utilizing the commercial electromagnetic analysis software MAXWELL. The muzzle velocity of the optimal design is 62.4% greater than that of the initial design.

본 논문에서는 핵자기공명영상의 고해상도를 이루고, 영상의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해서 선형성이 증가된 경사자기장 코일의 설계와 제작에 목적을 두었다. Maxwell pair를 이용하여 Z-경사자계의 선형성을 증강시키기 위해 코일의 기하학적인 형태의 이론적인 계산과 몇 가지 형태의 코일로부터 예상되는 자기장 및 경사자기장의 분포를 구현했다. 즉, 코일 축 방향의 자기장을 구면좌표계에서 전개하는 방법으로 Maxwell pair의 크기와 위치를 계산하고, 유한요소법을 이용하여 자기장 및 경사자기장의 2차원 분포를 그렸다. 더불어 이론적인 계산 결과와 함께 자기장의 2차원 분포를 토대로 실제 경사자기장 코일을 제작하였고 이를 0.15 Τ 핵자기공명영상기에 적용하여, 영상을 획득하였다. 기존의 방법에 따른 Maxwell pair 형태를 이용한 경우에 코일지름의 40% DSV(diameter spherical volume)내에서 DSV의 5% 이내의 뒤틀림(distortion)을 갖는 선형성이 유지되었고, 새롭게 시도된 방법에 의한 경사자기장 코일의 경우는 코일지름의 70% DSV 내에서 DSV의 5% 이내의 뒤틀림을 갖는 선형성을 유지하였으며, 설계 제작된 경사자기장 코일과 RF-코일을 이용하여 이를 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제작된 경사자기장 코일의 선형성은 Maxwell pair 코일보다 향상된 결과를 보았으며, 본 논문에서 제시하는 방법은 자기공명영상의 해상도 향상에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, in order to prevent a fall accident that occurs while working without fastening the safety hook at a construction site, a method to detect whether the safety hook is fastened using two coils is proposed. Ansys' Maxwell, an electromagnetic wave analysis simulator, was used to analyze the magnetic field before and after the safety hook fastening, and the possibility of confirming the fastening of the safety hook using the difference in the mutual inductance change and the resulting current induced in the receiving coil was shown.

In this study, microscale, high-performance, solenoid-type RF chip inductors were investigated. The size of the RF chip inductors fabricated in this work was 1.0${\times}$0.5${\times}$0.5㎣. The materials (96% Al2O3) and shape (I-type) of the core were determined by a Maxwell three-dimensional field simulator to maximize the performance of the inductors. The copper (Cu) wire with 40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ diameter was used as the coils. High frequency characteristics of the inductance (L), quality-factor (Q), and capacitance (C) of developed inductors were measured using an RF Impedance/Material Analyzer (HP4291B with HP16193A test fixture). The inductors developed have inductances of 11 to 39 nH and quality factors of 28 to 50 over the frequency ranges of 250MHz to 1 GHz, and show results comparable to those measured for the inductors prepared by CoilCraf $t^{Tm}$ that is one of the best chip inductor company in the world. The simulated data predicted the high-frequency data of the L, Q, and C of the inductors developed well.l.

An experimental study of an eddy current nondestructive testing system to measure dimensions of cylindrical metallic rods, such as cross-sectional area or diameter, is presented. Impedance characteristics of a solenoid sensor, which are generally based on Maxwell's equations in electromagnetic field, are briefly discussed for inspecting geometrical parameters of the coil sensor and testing materials. A measurement system for detecting the diameter of the metallic rod is implemented. This instrument has capabilities for detecting the sensor output signals and estimating demensions of the testing material, continuously. As a result, it was shown that the eddy current sensor with an encircling coil could estimate the diameter of metallic rod. The implemented measurement system gives accurate information for inspecting the dimension of conducting rod with good sensitivity.

This paper will present the design of a novel-type velocity-controllable electromagnetic coil launcher (EMCL). By studying the influence of initial capacitor voltage on the velocity of an EMCL, the launcher voltage can be set to precisely adjust the velocity of projectile launching. The simulation of voltage and velocity in relation to time is obtained by Maxwell software. The experimental data show that for the launch accuracy to be achievable, the actual precision is 2%. Because of the excellent performance of Velocity-controllable EMCL, it can replace the air gun and applied to split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB).

There are many actuators and sensors used for attitude control system for KOMPSAT such as Reaction Wheel Assembly, Magnetic Torque Assembly, Dual Thruster Module, Solar array Drive, Three Axis Magnetometer, Conical Earth Sensor, Fine Sun Sensor Assembly, Coarse Sun Sensor Assembly, Gyro Reference Assembly and so on. For KOMPSA T satellite it has been considered using the Magnetic Torquer (MTQ) generating the magnetic dipole moment. In general, the magnetic dipole moment for satellite attitude control system is used for dumping out the excessive reaction wheel momentum so that the reaction wheel speed is not saturated. The objective of this study is to analyze the magnetic field characteristics generated by the Magnetic Torquer using the Maxwell 2D Field Simulator software. Currently, the developing model (DM) of the MTQ is being developed and manufactured at a company under the supervision of KARL MTQ is an electromagnet consisting of a ferromagnetic cylindrical core on which an excitation coil is wound. A current is passed through the coil to produce a dipole momentum in the ferromagnetic core. The configuration of the MTQ will be introduced in the presentation. The 2 dimensional model of the MTQ is drawn as axisymmetric models in RZ plane, and each corresponding material is assigned to the each MTQ object, the core, coil, and background. After the boundary conditions, current sources, and solution parameters are set up, the magnetic field intensities, directions, and other values specified by users can be calculated by using the finite element analysis. The theoretical magnetic field quantities obtained by the Maxwell 2D Simulator can be used for the basis of the development of the MTQ.

The ring-shaped electrodeless lamp is intended as a high efficacy replacement for the incandescent reflector lamp in many applications. Therefore, the line time of ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamps is substantially higher than that of conventional fluorescent lamps and last up to 60,000 hours. In this paper, maxwell 3D finite element analysis program (Ansoft) was used to obtain electromagnetic properties associated with the coil and nearby structures. The electromagnetic emitting properties were presented by 3D simulation software operated at 250[kHz] and some specific conditions.

Impedance analysis of a Solenoid sensor to detect the cross-sectional area of non-ferromagnetic stranded conductors is described in this paper. To inspect electromagnetic characteristics of conductive materials, a nondestructive test eddy current sensor with an encircling coil is chosen. As solving Maxwell equation, normalized impedance response of the sensor within a conducting rod is modeled and the results are expanded to the stranded wires. Geometrical property affecting on stranded structure is considered and a numerical and experimental study is also presented.
