Applied Electromagnetic Engineering

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).This volume contains the Proceedings (64 selected refereed papers) of the 6th Japanese-Mediterranean Workshop on Applied Electromagnetic Engineering for Magnetic Superconducting and Nanomaterials (JAPMED'6), organized in Bucharest, Romania, during July 27-29th 2009. This Workshop represented a landmark in the development of materials, manufacturing and electrical engineering; providing a forum for specialists from the universities, research centers and industries of many countries to establish links, share knowledge and experience and encourage cross-fertilization of new ideas and developments in design, analysis, novel-material utilization and optimisation techniques in the areas of applied electromagnetics. Also covered was the manufacturing of advanced materials from the macro-, to the nano-scale and their industrial application in modern technologies involving nanotechnology, electricity/electronics, superconductivity, electromagnetic engineering, transportation, bioengineering, energy and the environment.This work will thus be a boon to those interested in these topics.The volume, based on the July 2009 workshop, collects international research on the design, analysis, materials, and optimization of high-temperature superconductivity and electromagnetic manufacturing. The 64 papers explore non-destructive testing and sensors, magnetic fluids, permanent magnets, computational electromagnetics, control techniques, and electric power applications. Topics include magnesium diboride-based superconductors, the construction of development technology in Japan, magnetic torque evaluation of magnetized nanoparticles, surface induction hardening models, oblique ion etching of copper, and a square coil system for producing uniform magnetic fields.
