Harmonic and Transient Magnetic Analysis of Single Turn Coils fed by a Current Pulse at Medium Frequency
Single turn coils are used in pulsed magnetic technologies for which both magneto-harmonic and transient magnetic analysis are required. We suggest studying one single turn coil example made of a conducting massive coil, an optional conducting field shaper and an internal conducting tube ... Read More

FEM Modeling in Robust Design for Graphene-Based Electromagnetic Shielding
Electromagnetic shielding design is usually approached referring to nominal values of the main parameters. This could lead to malfunctioning devices and its performance differ widely from what was really aimed at or, worse, the final design product could even be physically unrealizable. ... Read More
Creep Deformation Behavior of Heating Filaments in High Temperature Applications
Resistive heating filaments used in high temperature applications at 2000°C and above are often made of refractory metals. The lifetime of such filaments is mainly limited by creep deformations which can in the worst case lead to a short circuit between filaments and other furnace ... Read More
