    A new approach to predict shielding properties of layered nonlinear sheets

    No full text
    A layered shield constituted by a first linear conductive sheet and a second nonlinear ferromagnetic sheet is considered. The field source is modelled by a transverse plane wave having a vertical polarization. The transmitted EM field is evaluated by developing a time-domain procedure. The linear sheet is represented by an equivalent field source and an equivalent input impedance, in analogy with the Thevenin approach in the transmission line theory. The analysis of the EM field propagation through the nonlinear layer is performed by using a numerical procedure based on the finite-element method. Shielding performances of different configurations including saturable ferromagnetic materials are presente

    Shielding Performance of Power Cables with Low Magnetic Field Emission

    The performance of shields to be used in reducing the magnetic field due to power cables is investigated. The magnetic field is computed either by solving exactly the Helmholtz field equation and by using the approximate solution based on the transmission line approach. The influence of various geometrical and electrical parameters of the cable shield on the shielding effectiveness is assessed. The computed results are compared with measured data. The proposed prediction procedure is a powerful tool for the design of cables with low emission of magnetic field

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
