An electrical machine for a high-speed flywheel for energy storage in large hybrid electric vehicles is described. Design choices for the machine are motivated: it is a radial-flux external-rotor permanent-magnet synchronous machine without slots in the stator iron and with a shielding cylinder. An analytical model of the machine is briefly introduced whereafter optimization of the machine is discussed. Three optimization criteria were chosen: (1) torque; (2) total stator losses and (3) induced eddy current loss on the rotor. The influence of the following optimization variables on these criteria is investigated: (1) permanent-magnet array; (2) winding distribution and (3) machine geometry. The paper shows that an analytical model of the machine is very useful in optimization.

This paper presents the electromagnetic shielding structure for low frequency wireless power transfer system with magnetic induction method using soft magnetic materials. Soft magnetic materials have advantages such as high permeability and low magnetic loss, but have undesirable effect of power loss by eddy current. To overcome this, we proposed the patterned soft magnetic material to suppress the eddy current path. For validity of this paper, we simulated the coil transfer efficiency and the radiated electromagnetic field, and fabricated the proposed structure using 79-permalloy. The measured results shows good agreements with the simulated results and reduction of the radiated electromagnetic field compared to commercial ferrite plate.

A magnetically shielded room has been constructed for biomagnetic applications. The room has internal dimensions of $2\;m(length){\times}2\;m(width){\times}2.5\;m(height)$ and it consists of high permeability Mumetal and high conductivity alummum, utilizing ferromagnetic shielding and eddy current shielding. The de shielding factor around the center of the room is above 60 dB, and the ac shielding factors at 1 and 10 Hz are larger than 60 and 80 dB, respectively. The internal magnetic field noise at 1 Hz is $500\;fT/{\sqrt}Hz$ and at 10 Hz is $100\;fT/{\sqrt}Hz$, and the field gradient noise at 1 Hz is below $7\;fT/cm{\sqrt}Hz$. Successful measurements of cardiomagnetic fields usmg SQUID magnetometer and neuromagnetic fields using SQUID gradiometer have been done.

This paper explains the process of designing a shielded encircling remote field eddy current (RFEC) probe to inspect nuclear fuel cladding tubes and investigates resulting signal characteristics. To force electromagnetic energy from exciter coil to penetrate into the tube, exciter coil is shielded outside by laminations of iron insulated electrically from each other. Effects of shielding and the proper operating frequency are studied by the finite element analysis and the location for sensor coil is decided. However, numerically simulated signals using the designed probe do not clearly show the defect indication when the sensor passes a defect and the other indication appeared as the exciter passes the defect is affected by the shape of shielding structure, which demonstrates that the sensor is directly affected by exciter fields. For this reason, the sensor is also shielded outside and this shielding dramatically improves signal characteristics. Numerical modeling with the finally designed probe shows very similar signal characteristics to those of inner diameter RFEC probe. That is, phase signals show almost equal sensitivity to inner diameter and outer diameter defects and the linear relationship between phase signal strength and defect depth is observed.

A new design scheme of actively-shielded x,y-gradient coils for Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) is proposed. An actively-shielded x-gradient coil has been designed as an example and the results are presented. In MRI, gradient coils are needed for spatial selection and position coding to obtain the position information of the NMR signal. They are usually switched on and off during imaging and the eddy current induced by the current switching usually degrades the final image quality To reduce or remove this kind of problems, the active shielding has been proposed few years ago. In this paper, a new design scheme for actively-shielded x,y-gradient coils, namely, a minimum-power design scheme using current-loop elements, has been proposed. Its utility in designing MRI gradient coils has been shown by using simulation. The design scheme seems to be useful for actively-shielded transverse gradient coils, even of non-cylindrical or of arbitrary-selected shapes.

One of the principal components of the KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) tokamak structure is the vacuum vessel, which acts as the high vacuum boundary for the plasma and also provides the structural support for internal components. Hyundai Heavy Industries Inc. has performed the engineering design of the vacuum vessel. Here the overall configuration of the KSTAR vacuum vessel was briefly described and then the design methodology and the analysis results were presented. The vacuum vessel consists of double walls, several ports, leaf spring style supports. Double walls are separated by reinforcing ribs and filled with baking/shielding water. The overall external dimensions of the main body are 3.39 m high, 1.11 m inner radius, 2.99 m outer radius, and made of SA240-316LN. The vacuum vessel was designed to be capable of achieving the base pressure of $1\times10^{-8}$ Torr, and also to be structurally capable of sustaining the vacuum pressure, the electromagnetic and thermal loads during plasma disruption and bakeout, respectively. The vacuum vessel will be baked out maximum $150^{\circ}C$ by hot pressurized water through the channels formed between double walls and the reinforcing ribs. A 3-D temperature distribution and the resulting thermal loads in the vessel were calculated during bakeout. It was found that the vacuum vessel and its supports were structurally rigid based on the thermal stress analysis. The maximum electromagnetic loads on the vacuum vessel induced by eddy and halo currents resulting from the engineering plasma radial and vertical disruption scenarios have been estimated. The stress analyses have been performed based on these electromagnetic loads and the resulting stresses at he critical locations of the vacuum vessel were within the allowable stresses.

The shield effect of 4 layered shield case was investigated in this paper. The material of the case was non-oriented SiFe sheet with a thickness of 0.5mm. The size of the case was 100mm wide, 100mm high and 300mm long. Relative permeability of SiFe sheet was needed to calculate shield effect. It was obtained from the measurement by a ferrite yoke and from the calculation by eddy current FEM analysis. Three configurations were used to connect both ends of SiFe sheet. First one is a connection by double-welded butt. Second one is to put the sheet the same material above the confronted both ends of the sheet to avoid a leakage magnetic flux. The last one is ideally without any connection. The shield effect of the second one agreed well with the last one and showed the shield effect of -40dB.

This study was conducted to analyze the characteristics of three high-exposure tasks performed by radiation workers in Korean pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and to identify factors that reduce their exposure during work. Three high-exposure tasks were selected based on a previous study. In this previous study, nozzle dam installation and removal, eddy current testing, and manway opening and closing were determined as high-exposure tasks through normalization (radiation dose per unit time). Based on the analysis of the characteristics of the high-exposure tasks in this study, the high-exposure tasks were steam generator-related tasks performed inside and outside the water chamber. This study analyzed the reduction factors for high-exposure tasks and suggested improvements in terms of time, distance, and shielding. The use of the characteristics of high-exposure tasks and their dose reduction factors enables Korean PWRs to optimize radiation protection for workers who receive relatively high doses.
