Design of the electromagnetic system requires a procedure where certain parameters need to be maximized under constraints placed on its dimensions. Optimization routines that can maximize the function value under given constraints are required. Design of such systems coupled with the ... En savoir plus

Conventional heating of material wastes energy during heating due to inherent radiation, conduction and convection based heating mechanism. Alternate efficient heating methods are actively researched for improved efficiency. Radio frequency based electromagnetic heating is increasingly ... En savoir plus

The purpose of this work was to establish a reliable radio frequency (RF) heating simulation which directly provides transient temperatures for medical devices with high geometric fidelity. These temporal results of localized temperatures can be used to determine conditions for safety of ... En savoir plus

Numerical analysis based on finite element method (FEM) represents a powerful approach to solve electromagnetic problems. For instance, FEM methods have been broadly used to calculate the critical state current distribution in high temperature superconductors of various geometries. In ... En savoir plus

Klein tunneling is one of the most striking consequences of Dirac equation. Despite experimental investigations of the phenomenon in analog systems in the transport or quasi-bound state scenario, a direct observation of quantized Klein tunneling is still lacking. Now this is achieved in ... En savoir plus

This paper presents numerical simulation of plate wave modes in thin stainless steel plates using a racetrack spiral coil electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT), which works under the principle of acousto-elastic effect, called Lorentz force mechanism. EMATs are useful for non ... En savoir plus

Splitting a 3D model into two coupled components can increase performance [1]. Two offshore applications with the AC/DC module and the heat transfer module are presented, but the approach is general. The examples simulate the hotspot temperature in a three core cable with cross-sectional ... En savoir plus

In the nuclear industry, and particularly at Framatome, mastery of welding processes is essential. Framatome is one of the world leaders in this field and wants to improve even more. The work presented focuses on improving the TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding process, and more ... En savoir plus

The accurate estimate of values of electromagnetic parameters are essential to determine the final circuit speeds and functionality for designing of high-performance integrated circuits and integrated circuits packaging. In this paper, a new quasi-TEM capacitance and inductance analysis ... En savoir plus

In this paper an Electromagnetic Solenoid Actuator (EMVA) consisting of an upper and lower electromagnet, a linear moving armature and two preloaded springs is considered as a potential approach in Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) systems for internal combustion engines. The analysis of ... En savoir plus
