Design Analysis of Amended PIFA with Ferrite Sheet Attachment for SAR Reduction in Human Head
The public's growing awareness of the negative impacts of high-volume temperature fluctuations has led to a marked rise in the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). In existing techniques, the SAR value is high and more expensive. To overcome this issue, an Amended Planar Inverted F-antenna (PIFA) with Ferrite Sheet Attachment for SAR Reduction in Human Head has been introduced to reduce SAR value. The antenna receives power from the grounded end and Simulated Magnetic Rods (SMR) are utilized in the antenna to lower SAR values. The PIFA and SMR face major difficulties due to their low reliability and bandwidth. Hence, Radiating Blotch is implemented within the antenna to increase bandwidth and dependability. The SAR reduction is increased and various parameters are produced when the header model is simulated using ANSYS HFSS. Overall, the performance with and without a ferrite sheet comparing the analysis for SAR reduction with various parameters.

Ferrimagnetic and Metallic Properties of (001) NiCo2O4 Films Fabricated at Various Oxygen Pressures
Epitaxial (001) NiCo2O4 films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy were grown on (001) MgAl2O4 at various oxygen pressures of 10-200 mTorr using pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction suggested that the lattice constant, crystallinity, and deposition rate displayed distinctive changes around 50 mTorr. The temperature-dependent resistance displayed an insulating behavior in the films grown below 15 mTorr but a metallic one in the films grown above 20 mTorr. Magneto-optical Kerr effect measurement suggested that the NiCo2O4 films grown above 15 mTorr are ferrimagnetic at room temperature and possess a distinctive perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The ferrimagnetic-to-paramagnetic transition temperature reached a maximum of ~385 K at 50 mTorr. During the magnetic reversal, the density of small nucleated domains increased with increasing oxygen pressure from 20 to 200 mTorr, and exhibited metallic ferrimagnetism at room temperature. Consequently, the optimal growth condition for magnetic device applications of NiCo2O4 films is believed to be 50-200 mTorr at 320 ℃.

Research on Magnetic Actuation Mechanism and Kinematics of Soft Inspection Robot for HVDC Transmission Line
Currently, most of the inspection robots for high-voltage transmission lines, both at home and abroad, utilize a multi-cantilever rigid structure. However, the inefficiency and poor safety of these robots when it comes to crossing obstacles make them impractical. To address this issue, a magnetically actuated soft inspection robot has been developed. This robot uses the amperage force applied to the current-carrying coil in a HVDC toroidal magnetic field to efficiently and flexibly cross multiple obstacles in an inchworm-like motion. The focus of this paper is on the design and theoretical calculation of the magnetically actuated model, specifically the magnetic linear traction force and magnetic adsorption force (diastolic force), required to enable the soft robot to crawl. Through simulation and kinematic analysis, the results show that the magnetically actuated soft robot design proposed in this paper is theoretically feasible, providing a foundation for future developments in magnetically actuated soft robots.

Design and Numerical Study of Hybrid Magnetic Source Disc-type Magnetorheological Valve
Magnetorheological valves are important components in hydraulic systems that provide precise position control. At present, the low-pressure drop performance of magnetorheological valves is the main problem limiting their application. To improve the pressure drop performance of magnetorheological valves, a hybrid magnetic source disc magnetorheological valve is proposed. The magnetic pressure drop model and viscous pressure drop model of the hybrid magnet source disc type magnetorheological valve based on the Bingham model are Derived. Magnetic field distributions in the damping channel of the hybrid magnet source disc type magnetorheological valve are obtained by using ANSYS finite element analysis software. The mathematical model of the relationship between pressure drop and magnetic induction intensity was established using Matlab software, and the effects of parameters such as effective current, axial damping gap, radial damping gap, and coil width on the pressure drop performance of disc-type magnetorheological valves with hybrid magnetic sources were numerically analyzed. The results show that the pressure drop of the disc magnetorheological valve with a hybrid magnetic source can reach 10.9935 MPa at the current I=3A, axial damping gap ga=1 mm, and radial damping gap gr=1.5 mm. Compared with the conventional disc magnetorheological valve, the pressure drop performance of the hybrid magnetic source disc magnetorheological valve is improved by 28 %, which provides ideas on how to improve the pressure drop performance of the magnetorheological valve.

The Influence of Shaft Eccentricity on the Magnetic Fluid Sealing Performance
This manuscript delves into the impact of shaft eccentricity and diameter on the pressure resistance and magnetic force of a magnetic fluid seal (MFS), through both magnetic circuit analysis method (MCAM) and finite element method (FEM). The study proposes a systematic approach to enhance the performance of eccentric MFS based on MCAM. The results show a near-linear decrease in the pressure resistance of the MFS with increasing eccentricity, with a maximum decline of 65 %. However, the MFS model with a 100 mm shaft diameter renders more precise results in predicting the sealing performance for larger shaft diameters since the pressure resistance decrease remains below 5 % as shaft diameter is increased. The optimal range of pole tooth structure parameters has also been determined. Remarkably, the proposed method affords a precise analysis of the performance of large-diameter eccentric MFS, which is not feasible using two-dimensional axisymmetric magnetic field models.

Impacts of Sr2+ and Annealing Temperature on the Composition, Structure, and Magnetic Properties of SrFe12O19 Synthesized by Tartrate Precursor Route
Hexagonal M-type strontium ferrite (SrFe12O19) has been fabricated through a simple self-combustion tartrate precursor approach to producing a homogenous powder with a homogeneous shape and limited size distribution at low-processing temperatures. The impacts of the Sr2+:Fe3+ molar ratio and the annealing temperature on formation, morphological structure, crystallite size, and magnetic performance were studied. The powders were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) profile, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The development of crystalline single-phase Sr-hexagonal ferrite occurred at ≥ 1100 ℃ and Sr2+:Fe3+ molar ratios 1.1:12-1.3:12. Existence of α-Fe2O3 and impurities in the hexagonal powders increases the lattice parameters while higher annealing temperature decreases it. The

Numerical Analysis and Experimental Study of Symmetric Stepped Magnetic Fluid Seal with Three Magnetic Sources
A symmetric stepped magnetic fluid seal (SSMFS) structure with three magnetic sources is designed with the goal of improving the leakage problem under the large clearance rotary seal condition. The magnetic field distribution in the sealing clearance is analyzed using the finite element method when the radial and axial clearances are both 0.4 mm. The pressure capacity is calculated, and the effects of the height of permanent magnets, the length of the pole teeth, and the number of pole teeth are compared with those of diverging stepped magnetic fluid seal (DSMFS) and converging stepped magnetic fluid seal (CSMFS) with three magnetic sources. The numerical outcomes demonstrate that the SSMFS with three magnetic sources has a greater pressure capacity than the other two seal structures. The effects of magnetic fluid injection volumes, radial and axial clearances, various rotational speeds, and holding times are then investigated in tests to determine the pressure capacity of the SSMFS with three magnetic sources. The results are compared to those of the other two structures. The experimental date indicate that the SSMFS with three magnetic sources has a magnetic fluid injection saturation of around 7 ml. The advantages of the SSMFS structure become more clear with the modification of the radial clearance and axial clearance. With an increase in rotation speed and holding time, the pressure capacity of SSMFS with three magnetic sources has no obvious change, but it is obviously higher than that of the other two structures.

Effect on the Sedimentation Stability of Magnetorheological Fluid by Micro-nano Composite System
In magnetorheological devices, the magnetorheological fluids are inevitably in a zero-field state when the MR device is out of work. Long-term placement will lead to the sedimentation of MR fluids, reducing the performance of the magnetorheological device. A novel magnetorheological fluid was prepared by mixing microparticles and nanoparticles to solve this problem. After one-week placement, the sedimentation rate of the novel magnetorheological fluid is only 0.23 %, decreased by 88.5 % compared with general magnetorheological fluid. The novel magnetorheological fluid shows excellent sedimentation stability, keeping magnetorheological devices in good condition.

Effect of Cooling Rate on Magnetic Properties of FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8 High Entropy Alloy
The solidification process of an alloy has a significant influence on its microstructure and properties. In this article, the effect of cooling rate on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8 high entropy alloys (HEAs) was investigated. Results showed that all the samples prepared at different cooling rates exhibited a duplex-phase structure of face-centered cubic (FCC) plus body-centered cubic (BCC). But the volume fraction of BCC and stacking density of the alloy increased with the increasing of cooling rate, leading to an increase in saturated magnetization. Furthermore, microstructure investigation showed that with the increasing of cooling rate, the grain size of the samples decreased, lattice distortion and residual stress increased, and more nanoprecipitates were embedded in the interdendritic phases of the sample, which may be responsible for the increase in coercivity of the alloy.

Electro-magnetic Visco-plastic Nanofluid Flow Considering Buongiorno Two-component Model in Frames of Darcy-Forchheimer Porosity, Transpiration and Joule Heating
Enhancing heat transfer is of utmost importance in modern industrial applications. Pure liquids for illustration ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and water having lower conductivity are commonly used as cooling liquids in distinct applications. This approach helps conserve and optimize the enhancement of heat transportation. However, in order to achieve enhanced thermal efficiency, state-of-the-art liquids known as nanoliquids have been recommended. Thus the Buongiorno two-component nanoliquid model, which exhibits superior thermal efficiency compared to the aforementioned standard cooling liquids is being considered for formulating and analyzing the behavior of Casson nanoliquid configured by cylindrical convected surface. The problem formulation incorporates various factors such as Darcy-Forchheimer porosity, thermophoresis, magnetohydrodynamics, Brownian diffusion, suction/injection and Joule heating. Boundary-layer stretching flow is formulated. Dimensionless differential form from governing nonlinear problems is achieved by employing relevant variables. The application of the homotopy procedure results in convergent solutions for strongly nonlinear systems. The graphs are used to reveal the plots of significant factors in the analysis.

Multislice Analysis of Axial Flux Synchronous Reluctance Motor Based on 2d Finite Element Method Linear Model
This study proposes a solution to improve the analysis time of the Axial Flux Synchronous Reluctance Motor (AF-SynRM) using the Finite Element Method (FEM) using the Finite Element Method (FEM). While accurate results can be achieved through 2D and 3D FEM analyses in the design of electrical machines, the analysis time becomes a significant consideration. The non-axisymmetric structure of the flux path in axial flux motors poses challenges for accurate results in 2D FEM analyses. To overcome this issue, the study uses simulation studies to convert axial flux motors into 2D linear models. In this study, a slice model approach is implemented in the linear structure, and the influence of the number of slices on various motor parameters, such as torque, torque ripple, back-EMF, loss, and efficiency, is analyzed and compared with 3D FEM analyses. Experimental loss and efficiency results are also included in these analyses. This study is the first to simulate an AF-SynRM in the 2D linear model. The accuracy of the results is verified experimentally.
