Magnetic Field Effects Induced in Electrical Devices Based on Cotton Fiber Composites, Carbonyl Iron Microparticles and Barium Titanate Nanoparticles

This work consists in the process of preparing magnetic active composite materials based on cotton fibers, iron carbonyl microparticles and barium titanate nanoparticles, and the electrical devices manufactured with them. For different compositions of the aforementioned ingredients, three such composites are manufactured and compacted at constant pressure between two electrodes. In the absence and in the presence of a magnetic field, using an RLC bridge, magnetocapacitive, magnetoresistive and magnetopiezoelectric effects are highlighted in the custom fabricated devices. It is shown that these effects are significantly influenced by the composition of the materials. Based on the model elaborated in this paper, the mechanisms that contribute to the observed effects are described and the theoretical predictions are shown to agree with the experimental data. The obtained results can be used in the assembly of hybrid magnetic active composites, which are low cost, ecological and have other useful physical characteristics for applications

Optimization Criteria of Plane Lapping Machines

AbstractThis paper reviews experimental research regarding brittle materials processing with superfinishing machine The main criteria for determining the characteristics of superfinishing machines can be grouped into: energy consumption criterion, technologically criterion and dynamic criterion can be determined and the main criteria optimization plan lapping machines. The optimization of the characteristics of brittle materials superfinishing machine is very important because they directly influence the quality of workpieces surfaces. The performances of the superfinishing machine linkages are increasingly higher, due to the following requirements: very high quality workpieces surface, reduced time for feed workpieces to machine tools, better interconnections between machine tools are used in the technological process, high flexibility
