Trefoil cable formation is used where three phases are carried by three single core power cables, rather than a single three phase multicore cable. The advantage of installing three single cores in such a configuration is that it minimises the induction of eddy currents, therefore ... Read More
The research in magnetic confinement fusion is carried out through electromagnetic machines, with a toroidal geometry, where a hot plasma of heavy hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium) is contained in a vacuum vessel. Due to the very high temperatures reached by the plasma, strong ... Read More
The detection, characterization, and classification of underground environmental hazardous objects [mines, IEDs, and other unexploded military hardware] is a worldwide problem that needs urgent attention and solution. While electromagnetic sensor technologies have been applied to ... Read More
PECM is a necessary extension to traditional ECM for some high-performance materials. Electrolyte flow in the inter-electrode gap (IEG) can be assisted using a magnetic field to allow higher currents, but this creates a magnetohydrodynamic flow. This paper presents a study of flow ... Read More
The use of grating couplers to couple conventionally phased and polarized light near vertically in and out of optical slab or film waveguides [1] represents an attractive method to interface optical fiber to photonic ICs. Previously developed grating coupler designs use transversely ... Read More
Spontaneous emission -- an electron in an excited state of an emitter spontaneously decays to another state with lower energy -- plays an important role in determining the performance of light-emitting diodes, fluorescent dyes, colorants, solar cells, etc. The efficiency of spontaneous ...

Common mode chokes are good EMI filters in electronic power systems [1]. For such devices, values for their impedance are critical to their performances as noise filters. In this study, a two-step finite element approach is employed to study the impedance variations of a ferrite-core ... Read More
Electromagnetic metamaterials present exotic and unusual properties hardly to be found in nature with many potential applications. They are usually built by distributing small resonant structures in periodical lattices. If the structure has chiral symmetry, the medium is called chiral ... Read More
Large-area, light-weight electromagnetic protection (EP) structures are needed to protect sensitive microwave sensors and communications systems from high-power microwave (HPM) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) threats. This paper presents the use of COMSOL Multiphysics® for ... Read More
This paper presents a simulation model of a rotary damper filled with a magnetorheological fluid (MRF). The most important characteristic of the MRF is the variable viscosity, which can be controlled by an external magnetic field. In the simulation model, the fluid is described as a ... Read More
