Producing 3-D Imitations of Soft Magnetic Composite Material Geometries.

The main purpose of this paper is to describe a new algorithmic method to imitate 3-D geometries of soft magnetic composite materials. This method allows constructing various kinds of geometries for experimenting how certain geometric features affect different electromagnetic properties of the materials. Using the geometry imitations, we demonstrate that in order to explain the nonlinear static magnetic behavior of a certain composite, it is not necessary to assume contacts between the neighboring particles in the material. The contacts may instead be replaced by thin gaps. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
