Analysis of the Composite Transmission of Magnetorheological Fluids and Shape Memory Alloy by Chen Song, Jian Kailin, Huang Jin, Huang Xia

“…The magnetorheological effect of magnetorheological fluid reduce under a high temperature condition,which causes so many problems like the uncontrollability of the variation of shearing stress,and even failure of the transmission device.Based on the rheological property of magnetorheological fluid and the temperature characteristics of shape memory alloy,a composite transmission device of magnetorheological fluid and shape memory alloy is designed,which rely on magnetorheological fluid to transfer torque under a lower temperatures condition,shape memory alloy spring assisted power transmission when the magnetorheological performance reduce under a high temperature condition.The performance of drive force transmission device is analyzed,and the formula of power transmission of transmission device is derived.The study results show that the composite transmission device can work at the external magnetic field and the temperature control,the torque can maintain continuous,controllable under a high temperature condition,the stability and efficiency of transmission device are improved.…”

Frequency Variation of the AC Order Parameter Susceptibility of the Metamagnetic Ising Model by Gul Gulpinar

“…Only for γs≫γm does the relaxation evolve from a simple Debye exponential at high temperatures to a two-step process at lower temperatures in which there exist two long relaxation times characterizing the relaxation of staggered magnetization. In parallel with these characteristics of the order parameter relaxation, Cole-Cole plots (χs′′-χs′) are shown to consist of two arcs in the metamagnetic phase and of a semicircle in the paramagnetic phase.…”

Influence of oxygen on electronic correlation and transport in iron in the Earth’s outer core by Germán G. Blesio, Leonid V. Pourovskii, Markus Aichhorn, Monica Pozzo, Dario Alfè, Jernej Mravlje

“…Abstract Knowing the transport properties of iron at the Earth’s core conditions is essential for the geophysical modeling of Earth’s magnetic field generation. Besides by extreme pressures and temperatures (which cause scattering by thermal disorder to dominate), transport may be also influenced by the presence of light elements and electron-electron scattering. …”
