B (2008) Investigation of electromagnetic wave absorber based on carbon fiber reinforced aerated concrete using time-domain method

The electromagnetic wave absorbers prepared from autoclaved aerated concrete containing carbon fibers as additions in the shape of slabs with pyramids cut on one plane of these slabs were tested using dc microwave source and the time-domain method. It was demonstrated that autoclaved aerated concrete allows one to fabricate electromagnetic wave absorbers which have a reflection coefficient up to -30 dB in the frequency range from 2 GHz to 18 GHz

Numerical Magneto-Mechanical Analysis of Destructive Coils with Reinforcement Cylinders of Various Thicknesses

The destructive laboratory device, generating half-period sinus-shaped magnetic field pulses of 0.15-2 ms duration is investigated numerically. The coil was placed into a steel reinforcement cylinder to resist magnetic forces, while influence of thickness of the reinforcement cylinder is considered in detail. The time-dependent non-linear magneto-mechanical model and the finite element software ANSYS are employed. On the basis of the mechanical analysis, reasonable explanation of the destruction nature is provided. The numerically obtained operation threshold value was in good agreement with experimental measurements

Influence of Sr Content on CMR Effect in Polycrystalline La1−xSrxMnO3La_{1-x}Sr_{x}MnO_{3} Thin Films

The magnetoresistance of thin polycrystalline $La_{1-x}Sr_{x}MnO_{3}$ films deposited on lucalox substrate using metal organic chemical vapor deposition technique was investigated in pulsed magnetic fields up to 18 T in the temperature range 100-320 K. The influence of film preparation conditions, ambient temperature variation and Sr content is analyzed in order to determine the optimal conditions for the design of CMR-B-scalar magnetic field sensor based on thin manganite film, operating at room temperature
