Nonlinear Diffusion of Electromagnetic Fields: With Applications to Eddy Currents and Superconductivity / Edition 1

by Isaak D. Mayergoyz

Overview

Nonlinear Diffusion of Electromagnetic Fields covers applications of the phenomena of non-linear diffusion of electromagnetic fields, such as magnetic recording, electromagnetic shielding and non-destructive testing, development of CAD software, and the design of magnetic components in electrical machinery. The material presented has direct applications to the analysis of eddy currents in magnetically nonlinear and hysteretic conductors and to the study of magnetization processes in electrically nonlinear superconductors. This book will provide very valuable technical and scientific information to a broad audience of engineers and researchers who are involved in these diverse areas.

About the Author

Prof. Mayergoyz received his Master and Ph.D. degrees in the former Soviet Union where he worked as a senior research scientist in the Institute of Cybernetics of Ukranian Academy of Sciences before his emigration to the United States. On his arrival to the United States in 1980, he became a full professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of University of Maryland, College Park. He served as a consultant for many years for the Research and Development Center of General Electric Company and has been selected as a visiting research fellow of this center. He has published more than 300 scientific papers and patents as well as eight scientific books. He has been recognized by many awards at the University of Maryland and at the Magnetics Society of IEEE. He is a recognized authority in magnetics which is the area of this book.

Editorial Reviews

Mayergoyz (electrical engineering, U. of Maryland) contends that his in-depth coverage of nonlinear diffusion of electromagnetic fields<-->"nonlinear" since described by nonlinear partial differential equations<--> fills a gap in the field despite significant theoretical and practical interest. He includes analyses for: surface impedances of nonlinear and hysteretic media, eddy current losses in steel laminations, and nonlinear diffusion in superconductors with gradual resistive transitions. Intended for a broad audience of design engineers and researchers immersed in electric machines, induction heating, superconductors, CAD software in electromagnetics, and magnetic components in power electronics. The Preisach model of hysteresis is appended. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
