A talk will be given at 5:30 PM on September 17, 2014 by John Brauer. Its title is
MAGNETIC PARTICLE FORCES FOR ACTUATORS, RECYCLING SEPARATORS, AND BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS.
Magnetic volume force densities are computed using finite element analysis. Computations on small permeable particles are shown to agree with a classical formula for magnetic separators. Such forces are important for magnetic particle brakes and clutch actuators, and for recycling separators of steel waste. Computations are also made for biomolecular screening using magnetic beads such as those made by GE Healthcare.
This talk is based largely on parts of Chapters 5 and 7 of Dr. Brauer’s book Magnetic Actuators and Sensors, 2nd edition, Wiley IEEE Press, 2014.
The talk is sponsored by the IEEE Magnetics Society Milwaukee Chapter and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Milwaukee Chapter. It will take place at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, Todd Wehr Auditorium, 1025 N. Broadway, Milwaukee, WI 53202. Admission is free to all, and snacks will be provided.
