Experimental Approach to Active Mounts Using Electromagnetic Actuator and Rubber with Consideration of Shock Resistance for Naval Shipboard Equipment by Yun-ho Shin, Seok-jun Moon, Woo-jin Jung, Soo-ryong Bae

“…The electromagnetic actuator is suggested for improving performance and overcoming its inherent limitations which are caused by the friction between the magnet and coil. The design specifications of an active mount, such as required force, displacement, and frequency characteristics, are identified for the self-excited pump system, and then an electromagnetic actuator active mount is redesigned with considering the shape of the passive rubber mount and shock resistance. …”

Climatological Statistics of Extreme Geomagnetic Fluctuations With Periods From 1 s to 60 min by N. C. Rogers, J. A. Wild, E. F. Eastoe, J. Hübert

“…Abstract Using a global database of 125 magnetometers covering several decades, we present occurrence statistics for fluctuations of the horizontal geomagnetic field (dBh/dt) exceeding the 99.97th percentile (P99.97) for both ramp changes (Rn) and the root‐mean‐square (Sn) of fluctuations over periods, τ, from 1 to 60 min and describe their variation with geomagnetic latitude and magnetic local time (MLT). Rates of exceedance are explained by reference to the magneto‐ionospheric processes dominant in different latitude and MLT sectors, including ULF waves, interplanetary shocks, auroral substorm currents, and traveling convection vortices. …”

Experimental Study on the Mechanical Properties of Sandstone under the Action of Chemical Erosion and Freeze-Thaw Cycles by Lizhuang Cui, Nan Qin, Shuai Wang, Xuezhi Feng

“…For the cohesion degradation, 35.4%, 29.3%, and 27.2% degradation are observed under acidic, alkaline, and neutral solutions. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging shows that the chemical erosion and freeze-thaw cycles both promote the degradation of rock properties from surface to interior; after 45 freeze-thaw cycles, the mechanical properties drop sharply. …”

Flexural Toughness of Basalt Fibre-Reinforced Shotcrete and Industrial-Scale Testing by Huazhe Jiao, Yachuang Wu, Xinming Chen, Yixuan Yang

“…The flexural performance was analysed based on the toughness standards, namely, DBV-1998, JSCE SF-4, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) pore testing. The results demonstrate that, given a basalt fibre (BF) dosage of 0–7.5 kg/m3, 18 mm BF can significantly increase the residual stress under the same deformation, rather than the peak values of the flexural strength. …”
