Recently, magnetic forces are considered as a method for more efficient tooth movement. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the changes of the magnetic volume on the magnetic forces. The universal testing machine and the electronic balance were used for the exact measurement of the force with constant air gap. While the magnet was kept same on one side, the magnetic volume of the other side was increased gradually in four manners. In the first group, the thickness was increased by adding same size of the magnets one after another while the thickness was increased by changing with a thicker magnet gradually in the second group. In the third group. the width was increased by adding same size of the magnets while the width was increased by changing with a wider magnet gradually in the last group. The results were as follows : 1. With the increase of the thickness, the magnetic force increased, while the magnetic force decreased with the increase of the width. 2. The magnetic force according to the change of the magnetic volume showed the distribution of the logarithmic function. 3. An originally thick magnet showed larger force than the added magnets although both of them had same volume.

Advanced classification of Cs contaminated soil by using a magnetic force-assisted selection pipe was investigated. A selection pipe is a device that sort particles depending on their particle size, based on the relationship between buoyancy, drag, and gravity force acting on the particles. Radioactive cesium is concentrated in small-particle size soil components with a large specific surface area. Hence, the volume of the Cs contaminated soil can be reduced by recycling the large-particle size soil components with low radioactive concentration. One of the problems of the selection pipe was that the radioactive concentration of the stayed soil in the selection pipe exceeds 8000 Bq/kg, which is the standard value of recycling of Cs contaminated soil, due to low classification accuracy. In this study, magnetic fields were applied to the lab-scale selection pipe from upper side to improve the classification accuracy and to reduce the radioactive concentration of the stayed soil.

The compressive and dynamic properties of magnetorheological elastomers were investigated as functions of magnetizable particle volume fraction, alignment of the embedded particle and magnetic force. The specimens consisted of pure and filled silicons with randomly dispersed, longitudinal and transverse aligned magnetizable particle chains. To align the embedded particles in the elastomer, the cross-linking of the elastomer composites took place in a magnetic field. The compression and dynamic tests in the absence and the presence of different magnetic forces were carried out. The modulus and loss factor of the elastomer composites increase with increasing volume fraction at the same magnetic force. The case of longitudinal alignment shows a high modulus and loss factor when compared to the case of transverse alignment or random dispersion.

This paper presents an analysis of the permanent magnet overhang effect for the permanent magnetic actuator. Generally, the overhang is often used to increase the force density in permanent magnet machineries. The overhang is particularly profitable in reducing the volume after increasing the force density per volume when using the overhang effect of the permanent magnet. Therefore, the 3D Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Network Method (3D EMCN) has been used in this paper. According to the plunger position, the flux distribution per overhang length and the holding force are quantitatively compared. Furthermore, an appropriate length of the overhang has been proposed. To confirm the accuracy of the analysis method, the results of 2D FEM and 3D FEM are compared for the basic model.

In this paper, the optimal design rrethod of the electropermanent magnetic lifter is proposed. The electromag-netic performances at the states of attraction and release are calculated by the means of the equivalent magnetic circuit rrethod. The magnetic flux flow, the magneto-rrntive force and the aJronnt of lifting force correspond to the electromagnetic performances. As the optimization algorithm, the evolution strategy(ES) is applied for the maximization of the electromagnetic force at the state of attraction and for the minimization of the volume within the alJowable electomagnetic force range.[3] At this rrnrrent, the optimization satisfy the minimization of the electromagnetic force at the state of release. The validity of the proposed optimization rrethod is verified by the comparison between the optimization result and the FEM result (this FEM result is obtained from MAXWELL).

The prediction of mechanical properties for WC-Co alloys by evaluation of coercive force and magnetic saturation were studied in relation to their microstructure. The WC-8%Co alloys were prepared using different WC particle size, carbon content and various sintering temperature by PM process. The magnetic properties such as coercive force and magnetic saturation of sintered WC-Co alloys were critically dependent upon their final composition and microstructure. Slight changes of carbon contents and small variation of WC grain size result in marked changes of magnetic properties, hardness and transverse rupture strength of sintered WC-Co alloys. It was found that the coercive force and hardness were increased by fine WC grain size of sinterd alloys, and the coercive force was proportional to hardness. With decreasing total carbon content below the stoichiometric value in WC-8%Co alloys the volume fraction of $\eta$ phase increased steadily, while the magnetic saturation and transverse rupture strength decreased. The magnetic saturation was inversely proportional to the coercive force of WC-Co alloys.

We investigated compositional separation of Co-23%Cr magnetic alloy thin films with varying film thicknesses. Saturation magnetization and magnetic microstructures were investigated using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and scanning probe microscope (SPM), respectively. Saturation magnetization was as 700 emu/cc for films below 50 nm-thick, and changed to 430 emu/cc for the ones above 2000 nm-thick. This may be due to increment of molar volume of Cr-enriched phase as film thickness increases. The surface grain size in AFM (atomic force microscope) measurement becomes larger as film thickness increases. The MFM (magnetic force microscope) reveals that magnetic microstructure is changed from the fine spherical domains to the maze type domains as film thickness increases. We conclude that employing thickness of Co-22%Cr films below 50 nm is favorable for high density recording in order to enhance perpendicular saturation magnetization and SNR (signal to noise ratio).

Hydromagnetic flow in a confined enclosure under a uniform magnetic field is studied numerically. The thermally active side walls of the enclosure are kept at hot and cold temperatures specified, while the top and bottom walls are insulated. The coupled momentum and energy equations associating with the electromagnetic retarding force as well as the buoyancy force terms are solved by an iterative procedure using the SIMPLER algorithm based on control volume approach. The changes in the flow and thermal field based on the orientation of an external magnetic field, which varies from 0 to $2{\pi}$ radians, are investigated. Resulting heat transfer characteristics are examined too.

A finite element model was built for MnBi/${\alpha}$-Fe nanocomposite permanent magnets, and the demagnetization curves of the magnets were simulated by micro-magnetic calculation. The microstructure of the cubic model is composed of 64 irregular grains with an average grain size of 20 nm. With the volume fraction of soft magnetic phase (t vol. %) ranged from 5 to 20 vol. %, both isotropic and anisotropic nanocomposite magnets show typical single-phase permanent magnets behavior in their demagnetization curves, illustrating good intergranular exchange coupling effect between soft and hard magnetic phases. With the increase of volume fraction of soft magnetic phase in both isotropic and anisotropic magnets, the coercive force of the magnets decreases monotonically, while the remanence rises at first to a peak value, then decreases. The optimal values of maximum energy products of isotropic and anisotropic magnets are 84 and $200kJ/m^3$, respectively. Our simulation shows that the MnBi/${\alpha}$-Fe nanocomposite permanent magnets own excellent magnetic properties and therefore good potential for practical applications.
