The widely-used measurement methods for conductivity of non-magnetic metals are van der Pauw method, Two Point Probe method and Eddy Current method. Among them a more simpler and easier method is the Eddy Current method and an instrument using the method is a Conductivity Meter which can measure a conductivity by contacting its probe on a sample surface. However, conductivity standards are essentially needed to confirm the meter's performance or to calibrate it. In this study, six kinds of the standards which are made of Cu, Al-1, Al-2, brass, Zn and SUS-316 are developed and conductivity ranges for the standards are 2.27 %IACS ~ 101.6 %IACS with measurement uncertainty of less than 0.3 %.

Graphene Nanosheets play an important role in nanosensors due to their proper surface to volume ratio. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to consider the nonlinear vibration behavior of graphene nanosheets (GSs) under the influence of electromagnetic fields and electrical current create forces. Considering more realistic assumptions, new equations have been proposed to study the nonlinear vibration behavior of the GSs carrying electrical current and placed in magnetic field. For this purpose, considering the influences of the magnetic tractions created by electrical and eddy currents, new relationships for electromagnetic interaction forces with these nanosheets have been proposed. Nonlinear coupled equations are discretized by Galerkin method, and then solved via Runge-Kutta method. The effect of different parameters such as size effect, electrical current magnitude and magnetic field intensity on the vibration characteristics of GSs is investigated. The results show that the magnetic field increases the linear natural frequency, and decreases the nonlinear natural frequency of the GSs. Excessive increase of the magnetic field causes instability in the GSs.

This paper deals with the characteristic analysis of magnetizer for convergence purity magnet by the finite element method. The analysis utilizes combined method of the time-stepped finite element analysis and the Preisach model with hysteresis phenomena. In the finite element analysis, the non-linearity and the eddy current of the magnetizing fixure and permanent-magnet are taken account. The magnetization distribution in the permanent magnet is determined by using Preisach model which are composed of Everett function table and the first order transition curves is obtained by the Vibrating Sample Magnetometer. The calculated flux density values on the surface of the permanent magnet are led to the approximated gauss density values measured by the gauss meter. As a result, winding current, copper loss, eddy current loss of the magnetizing yoke, flux plot, surface gauss plot, temperature rise of the coil and resistor variation, vector diagram of magnetization distribution are shown.

The hydroelectric Power plant of the KOWACO have been establishing and operating a full scale electric power facility, doing the largest generation during the flood period of the summer season. When the huge capacity generator is run like the Chung-Ju's hydroelectric Power plant, the generator current per generator flows a great current estimated at 5,900 A. The bus bar of a great current flows in cubicle, owing to the bus bar current Eddy current is created around magnetic substance and a local heating phenomenon occurs due to Joule heat finally. a local heating phenomenon still exists the danger of safety accident due to contact and accompanies losses enough to healing capacity inevitably. this study applies and examines related theory and numerical formula about the heating cause of a great current & enforces technical verification about the method of heating reduction previous managed at the site.

Recently, the electromagnetic techniques of the eddy current testing(ECT), alternating current field testing, magnetic flux leakage testing and remote field testing have been used as a nondestructive evaluation method based on the electromagnetic induction. The eddy current testing is now widely accepted as a NDE method for the heat exchanger tube in the electric power industry, chemical, shipbuilding, and military. The ECT system mainly consists of the synthesizer module, analog module, analog-to-digital converter, power supplier, and data acquisition and analysis program. In this study, the synthesizer module and the analog module which are essential to the ECT system were primarily developed. The developed ECT system is basically a multifrequency type which is able to inject the maximum four frequencies based on the frequency and time domain multiplexing method. Conclusively, we confirmed that the EC signal was processed appropriately in each circuit modules, and the Lissajous EC signal was displayed in the impedance plane.

This paper presents a numerical analysis of the eddy current testing with cracked pipe using finite element method (FEM). ${\vec{A}},\;{\phi}-{\vec{A}}$ method is adopted for the formulation of 3-dimensional(3-D) FEM with the brick element. The cracks investigated here are the inner and outer surface of axial symmetry, 90 degree circular one. The algorithm of 3-D numerical analysis is employed for the axisymmetric pipe with the cracks. In order to verify the validity of 3-D numerical analysis, the results are compared with those of 2-D analysis with the same type of the model. The differential impedance is obtained by using energy method and its locus are various 8-shaped curves for each cracks. The ICCG method is used for the calculation of a matrix.

The daily soil water contents were obtained from the time domain reflectometry (TDR) method and energy balance-water budget approach with eddy correlation at the two small semiarid watersheds of Lucky Hills and Kendall during the summer rainy period. There was a comparison of daily soil water content measured and estimated from these two different approaches. The comparison is valuable to evaluate the accuracy of current soil water content measuring system using TDR and energy balance-water budget approach using eddy correlation method at small watersheed scale. The degree of similarity between the regressions of these two methods of measuring soil water content was explained by determining the correlations between these methods. Simple linear regression analyses showed that soil water content measured from TDR method was responsible for 58% and 63% of the variations estimated from energy balance-water budget approach with eddy correlation at Lucky Hills and Kendall, respectively. The scatter plots and the regression analyses revealed that two different approaches for soil water content measurement at small watershed scale have no significant difference.

This research presents a topology optimization for manipulating the main heat flow in coupled magneto-thermal systems. The heat generated by eddy currents is considered in the design domain assuming an adiabatic boundary. For a practical optimization, the convection condition is considered in the topological process of the thermal field. Topology design sensitivity is derived by employing the discrete system equations combined with the adjoint variable method. As numerical examples, a simple iron and a C-core design heated-up by eddy currents demonstrate the strength of the proposed approach to solve the coupled problem.

High speed casting technology is an attractive method to increase the productivity of continuous casting. However, high speed casting causes flow instability of molten steel in a mold. In this study, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) has been performed to identify the characteristics of mold flow for various shapes of submerged entry nozzles. The LES code has been newly developed to efficiently compute the two-phase flow by using the Fractional Step Method (FSM) combined with the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method. The Immersed Boundary Method was used to implement the shape of the submerged entry nozzle. Three cases of discharge angle of the submerged entry nozzle were computed and compared. The current results shed light on improving shape design of a submerged entry nozzle.

Once high current flows through the vacuum interrupter, eddy current occurs due to the time-varying axial magnetic field caused by the current(AC) and it causes a decrease in axial magnetic field generated by current flowing through coil electrode. but if there are slots on contact electrode it is possible to increase the amplitude of axial magnetic field by reducing the influence of eddy current. there has been many studies about the number of slot of the contact electrode[1][2][3]. In this paper, in addition to these previous results we deal with the influence of the length and width of the slots on axial magnetic field at the mid-gap plane in 4 segment coil type vacuum interrupter by using 3D finite element method software.
