Experimental observations of the coupling between induced currents and mechanical motion in torsionally supported square loops and plates. Part 1. Experimental analysis
This two-part report describes a series of experiments designed to provide quantitative data on coupled magnetomechanical systems. This first part presents the details of the data analysis, some representative data, the overall results, and conclusions. The Fusion Electromagnetic Induction Experiment (FELIX) facility is described at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), where the experiments were performed, and the test fixture which was designed for this investigation. The next section describes the static and dynamic mechanical tests which were performed with the test fixture and summarizes the results. The sixth section presents and summarizes the results of the tests which were made with the dipole field only, which produces no mechanical rotation. The total electric current flowing around a test piece was measured versus time using a Rogowski coil. The seventh section presents and summarizes the results of actual coupled tests which were made with both the dipole field and solenoid field. Both the test piece Rogowski coil and the rotational transducer were employed for these tests.
