This work presents a new strategy to model stress dependent relaxation process in large deformation. The strategy is relied on the fact that in some particular soft materials undergoing large deformation, e.g., elastomers, rubbers and soft tissues, the relaxation time depends strongly on stress levels. To simplify the viscoelastic model, we consider that the relaxation time is the function of previous elastic deviatoric stress state experienced by materials during loading. Using the General Maxwell Model (GMM), we simulate numerically conditions with the constant and the stress dependent relaxation time for uniaxial tension and compression loading. Hence, it can be shown that the proposed model herein not only can represent different relaxation time for different stress level but also maintain the capability of the GMM to model hysteresis phenomena.

The spin wave absorption spectra are obtained by a simultaneous solution of the Maxwell equation and the Gilbert equation considering the boundary condition of electromagnetic wave and magnetization in the film surfaces. The physical parameters that influence the absorption energy are thickness, exchange stiffness constant, surface magnetic anisotropy, magnetization. damping factor, electric resistivity of the thin film. We investigated how these parameters affect the resonance field, the linewidth and the intensity of the spin wave spectrum.

Impedance analysis of a Solenoid sensor to detect the cross-sectional area of non-ferromagnetic stranded conductors is described in this paper. To inspect electromagnetic characteristics of conductive materials, a nondestructive test eddy current sensor with an encircling coil is chosen. As solving Maxwell equation, normalized impedance response of the sensor within a conducting rod is modeled and the results are expanded to the stranded wires. Geometrical property affecting on stranded structure is considered and a numerical and experimental study is also presented.

An orificed fluid damper(OFD) having the capacity of about 2 tons was designed and fabricated, and series of tests were performed to grasp the fundamental performance characteristics of it. Several important findings were observed and introduced in this paper. It was applied to a 6-story steel structure under random excitation and seismic excitation for the confirmation of its validity on structural vibration absolution. The experimental results demonstrated that the addition of an OFD to the test structure is very effective in reduction of vibration level of the higher modes as well as the fundamental mode. Maxwell model was adopted to describe the frequency-dependent characteristics of the fabricated OFD and the numerical simulation was carried for the test structure. It was confirmed that the experimentally and numerically simulated results agree well.

For a given brushless DC linear motor, we suggest the numerical prediction methods to analyze it's thrust characteristics. First, we calculate the magnetic flux density by the finite element method, and we then compute the maximum thrust with three computational methods - a Lorentz equation, a Maxwell stress method and a virtual work method. To confirm the accuracy of the computational methods, we measure the thrust of the linear motor made by our laboratory with a force-torque sensor. Also, we calculate the thrust by the measured back electromotive force. To choose the appropriate method for a specified application, we compare the maximum thrusts of the computational method and the calculation by the back electromotive force with the measured one. We conclude that the Maxwell stress method is turned out the best because it has the most accurate results among three computational methods and it is more convenient than the calculation method by the back electromotive force.

It is difficult to calculate the magnetic force of an object of magnetic material in contact with other objects using the existing methods, such as Maxwell stress tensor method, magnetic charge method, or magnetizing current method. These methods are applicable for force computation only when the object is surrounded by air. The virtual air-gap concept has been proposed for calculating the contact force. However, its application is limited to magneto-static system. In this paper, we present the virtual air-gap concept for contact surface force in the eddy-current system. Its validity and usefulness are shown by comparison between numerical and experimental examples.

For the system of a droplet on an insulator-coated electrode, the Lippmann-Young equation is derived by considering the deformation of interface near the three-phase contact line. The equation governing the deformation of interface, which describes the local balance of the Maxwell stress and the capillary pressure, is integrated along the interface. The integration leads to the Lippmann-Young equation which is shown to represent the macroscopic balance of horizontal force acting on entire meniscus. Young's angle is assumed to be not affected by the Maxwell stress. The meaning and validity of the assumption are discussed.

Maxwell displacement current(MDC) measuring technique has been applied on the study of monolayers of fatty acid. The displacement current was generated from monolayers on the water surface by monolayer compression and expansion. Displacement current was generated when the area per molecule was about $130{\AA}^2$. MDCs were investigated in connection with monolayer compression cycles. It was found that the current pulses were generated over the entire range of molecular area, and the maximum of MDC appeared at the molecular area just before the initial rise of surface pressure in compression cycles. We investigated the change in absorption spectra of the fatty acid(8A5H) monolayer LB film due to cis-trans photoisomerization. It was found that the absorption spectrum of the 8A5H LB film was induce to photoisomerization by alternate irradiation with UV and visible light irradiation.

This study is focused on the application of the homogenization design method (HDM) to reduce the vibration level of a structure excited by magnetic harmonic farces. This is accomplished by obtaining the optimal material distribution in a design domain to minimize the frequency response caused by the magnetic harmonic excitation. The Maxwell stress method is used to compute the magnetic force and the HDM is applied leer the optimization. The developed method is applied to a simple pole model that is excited by the harmonic bending farce caused by the current around an adjacent stator. Results shows that the HDM is valid to minimize the frequency response.

One of the principal sources of vibration and noise in permanent magnetic machines is cogging torque, which is induced by interaction between the rotor poles and the stator teeth. For its analysis, using finite element analysis is very time consuming and the calculation of performance factors is extremely sensitive to the discretization. Especially, Maxwell stress tensor method is sensitive to the location of integral path. In this paper, a cogging permeance fuction is defined and replaced by the straight line. And it is assumed that the flux density acting on the stator's tooth side is the euqal to the flux density of the slot area. Using this definition and assumption, analytical calculation of cogging torque is presented and validated. And several reduction method is introduced.
