Diffraction of Harmonic Flexural Waves in a Cracked Elastic Plate Carrying Electrical Current

The scattering effect of harmonic flexural waves at a through crack in an elastic plate carrying electrical current is investigated. In this context, the Kirchhoffean bending plate theory is extended as to include magnetoelastic interactions. An incident wave giving rise to bending moments symmetric about the longitudinal z-axis of the crack is applied. Fourier transform technique reduces the problem to dual integral equations, which are then cast to a system of two singular integral equations. Efficient numerical computation is implemented to get the bending moment intensity factor for arbitrary frequency of the incident wave and of arbitrary electrical current intensity. The asymptotic behaviour of the bending moment intensity factor is analysed and parametric studies are conducted.

Voltage-Controlled Differential Faraday Rotation from FMNWs and Magnetoelastic Silicone-Nickel Composites

Differential Faraday rotation has been observed from strain-Differential Faraday rotation has been observed from strain-modulated magnetoelastic membranes using millimeter-wave polarimetry at 61.25 GHz. The membranes, consisting of aligned chains of nickel micro-particles embedded in silicone rubber, were manufactured using a roll-to-roll electromagnetic processing line, mounted onto piezoelectric ceramic annuli, and immersed in externally-generated static magnetic fields. Experiments were conducted in which the membranes were periodically stretched by operating the piezoelectric crystals close to their radial resonant frequencies—thereby modulating nickel particle density as well as magnetic material properties. A customized quasi-optical apparatus was used to determine the Faraday-rotation difference between the strained and unstrained states of the magnetoelastic membranes. Possible applications that could emerge from this polymer-based technology include nonreciprocal millimeter-wave components with voltage-controlled frequency response and bio-inspired geomagnetic sensors for GPS-denied navigation. Investigations were conducted to estimate the maximum attainable differential Faraday rotation and the minimum detectable static magnetic field.

Sensors and sensor systems for guidance and navigation II; Proceedings of the Meeting, Orlando, FL, Apr. 22, 23, 1992

Topics discussed in this volume include aircraft guidance and navigation, optics for visual guidance of aircraft, spacecraft and missile guidance and navigation, lidar and ladar systems, microdevices, gyroscopes, cockpit displays, and automotive displays. Papers are presented on optical processing for range and attitude determination, aircraft collision avoidance using a statistical decision theory, a scanning laser aircraft surveillance system for carrier flight operations, star sensor simulation for astroinertial guidance and navigation, autonomous millimeter-wave radar guidance systems, and a 1.32-micron long-range solid state imaging ladar. Attention is also given to a microfabricated magnetometer using Young's modulus changes in magnetoelastic materials, an integrated microgyroscope, a pulsed diode ring laser gyroscope, self-scanned polysilicon active-matrix liquid-crystal displays, the history and development of coated contrast enhancement filters for cockpit displays, and the effect of the display configuration on the attentional sampling performance.
