목적: 실제 촬영 결과와 전자기 모의실험 결과를 시각적으로 비교함으로써 위상배열코일을 이루는 모든 코일 요소의 감도를 효과적으로 검증할 수 있는 소프트웨어를 개발하였다. 대상과 방법: 위상배열코일검증기(PACE)라 불리는 프로그램을 MATLAB과 C언어를 이용해 구현하였다. 위상배열 코일검증기는 코일 소자의 3차원 형상 모델 구축, FDTD 모의실험 결과의 수용, 보통의 직각좌표계 및 코일면에 기준하는 직각좌표계 상에서 각기 코일 소자 감도를 도시하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 위상배열코일의 3차원 형상 모델을 구축하기 위해 바늘침 모양의 3차원 전자기 위치추적기를 사용하였다. 3차원 형상 모델을 만든 뒤, 이 형상 모델 데이터를 FDTD 모의실험 장치에 보낼 수 있게 하였다. 결과: 3차원 전자기 위치추적기를 이용해 실제 실험에 사용된 위상배열코일과 FDTD 모의실험에 사용된 위상배열코일 모델을 정확하게 일치시킴으로써, 각기 코일 소자의 공간적 감도를 평가할 때 모의실험 결과와 촬영실험 결과 사이 정확한 비교가 가능하게 되었다. 모의실험과 실제 촬영실험에는 36 채널의 헬멧형 위상배열코일을 사용하였다. MRI 촬영 대상체로는 FDTD 모의실험의 모델과 같은 크기와 형상을 가진 원통형 팬텀을 사용하였다. 개발한 프로그램에서는 위상배열코일의 성능을 편리하게 평가하기 위해 관심 코일 소자를 쉽게 선택할 수 있게 하였다. 결론: 개발한 위상배열코일 성능 검증 프로그램은 위상배열코일의 개발 및 정기적인 유지보수에 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Coated conductors suitable for the fabrication of persistent mode high $T_c$ magnets are suggested and the fabrication method of persistent mode magnets using coated conductor are demonstrated. Persistent current was observed in a small piece of coated conductor. Closed loop of coated conductor with a diameter of around 1 em was successfully prepared and was cooled with a magnetic field of about 500 Gauss in order to induce supercurrent. Coated conductor with a $I_c$ of 100 A/cm-width was used for the preparation of closed loop of coated conductor. Persistent current was confirmed by measuring the magnetic field generated from closed loop of coated conductor by using Gauss meter. Magnetic field of 4.4 Gauss was detected from the supercurrent of closed loop of coated conductor. It shows that superconducting joint of coated conductor is not a prerequisite for the construction of persistent mode magnets. It is thought that this work opens the possibility to use coated conductor for the construction of persistent mode high $T_c$ magnets for MRI, NMR and magnetic separation applications.

본 연구는 체내의 식도용 스텐트와 일플란트에 많이 사용되는 티타늄 성분의 금속성 물질을 사용하여 구리와 black metal, polyester로 구성된 머리카락 보다 가늘게 제작된 mesh로 시험관을 부분적으로 RF를 차폐하여 주변에 위치한 자기공명영상용 팬텀에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 3T Achieva X-series의 Cardiac Coil을 사용하여 TR 500 ms, TE 20 ms, NEX 1, slice thickness 5 mm의 Spin Echo T1강조영상에서 field of view(FOV)에 따른 자기공명영상을 분석하였다. FOV 304 mm × 304 mm에서는 발생하지 않았던 aliasing artifact가 발생하지 않았지만 250 mm × 250 mm 과 170 mm × 170 mm에서는 발생되었다. FOV 170 mm × 170 mm에서 mesh를 사용하지 않은 경우는 SNR이 78.23으로 가장 낮았으며, mesh를 가운데 세워 분리한 경우에는 215.05, mesh로 완전히 차폐한 경우에는 366.44로 높게 측정되었다. 또한 mesh로 완전히 감싸고 차폐한 경우에는 aliasing artifact도 제거되었고, 영상의 왼쪽과 가운데, 오른쪽의 신호 대 잡음비가 높으면서 다른 조건과 비교하여 균질한 영상을 획득할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 mesh로 RF를 부분적으로 감싸고 차단하면 aliasing artifact를 제거할 수 있고, 작은 FOV를 사용하여 영상의 해상도와 균질성이 우수한 자기공명영상을 획득할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The dc reactor type superconducting fault current limiter is composed of a power converter, magnetic core reactors and a do reactor that is a superconducting coil. When a fault occurs, the dc reactor maintains the stability of system by limiting its fault current. In this study, we focus on the design of the dc reactor using FEM(Finite Element Method). In order to design it, various elements should be considered such as magnetic field intensity, Lorentz's force, its inductance and so forth. Firstly, we forecast the values of those elements from the simulation of FEM and then measured with a copper wire magnet. Finally, verify the reliability of this FEM method by comparing with two results.

This paper deals with an application of Magneto-Rheological (MR) fluid to a small size mount for precision equipment of automobiles. MR fluid is known as a class of functional fluids with controllable apparent viscosity of fluid by the applied magnetic field strength. A typical MR fluid is a suspension where pure iron particles of 1-20 (m in diameter are dispersed in a liquid such as mineral oil or silicone oil, at the concentration of 20 - 40 vol%. Electro magnetic coil is installed at the bottom of a variable-damping mount filled with MR fluid, and performance of the mount was investigated experimentally. Furthermore, the Properties of the MR Mount on experimental study were explained analytically by mechanical model of the MR mount.

Flux concentrated permanent magnet transverse flux machines, FCPM-TFMs, with segmented stators require multi-turn concentric saddle coils to replace the ring coils, which are normally utilized in conventional layeredphase TFM constructions. In this paper, we investigate the influence of the shape of saddle phase windings and their parameter variations on the output torque productivity. Non-meshed coils evaluated via a finite element method (FEM) to examine the effect of the coil's location within one phase on machine performance. By using meshed coils, the analysis can be extended to inspect the distributions of magnetic field strength as well as current density in the coils. Throughout the study, the influence of design parameters on the output torque for two stator structures, i.e., a laminated and soft magnetic composite (SMC), are evaluated.

In this paper, we propose a new design of the permanent magnet reluctance wheel which will make it possible to attach the robot to a vertical plane and move it. In the newly suggested design, a permanent magnet is utilized to enhance the adhesive force during attachment, and an electromagnet is produced to weaken the magnetic field of the permanent magnet and reduce the adhesive force for easier detachment of wheels from steel plates. To characterize the performance of this new wheel design, a 3-D finite element analysis is executed using a commercial FE program. The results show that the adhesive force is reduced effectively by the electromagnet which flows in the reverse direction of the magnetic loop of the permanent magnet when the current is supplied to the coil.

The magneto-rheological fluid expresses different cohesiveness according to the strength of the external electric current. To manufacture the magneto-rheological fluid damper that uses such characteristics of the fluid, a flow analysis of the inner damper was conducted to forecast the damper's capacity. In addition, using the finite element method software, analysis on the characteristics of electromagnetic field around the coil operation unit inside the damper. Based on the result of the analysis, a single core damper and a double core damper were built and tested for their dynamic function. Based on the result of the experiment, the propriety of the flow analysis was demonstrated, and the proposed model was verified.

High-order field gradients are useful for spatial localization of a volume of interest and dynamic range improvement of signal detection in NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy and imaging. This paper proposes a design method of shielded high-order gradient coils to reduce tile effect of eddy current on tile spectroscopy and imaging results. According to the experimental results, the shielded gradient coils produce less than 2 % eddy current compared to non-shielded coils. Two shielded $z^2$ gradient coils have been designed and constructed for 1.5 T whole-body and 3.0 T animal NMR imaging systems. Experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretically expected behavior and show the utility of the shielded high-order gradient coils.
