A flexible method for rapid force computation in elliptical magnets
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-16, 12:44 authored by Snape-Jenkinson, CJ, Crozier, S, Lawrence ForbesLawrence ForbesThe design of open-access elliptical cross-section magnet systems has recently come under consideration. Obtaining values for the forces generated within these unusual magnets is important to progress the designs towards feasible instruments. This paper presents a novel and flexible method for the rapid computation of forces within elliptical magnets. The method is demonstrated by the analysis of a clinical magnetic resonance imaging magnet of elliptical cross-section and open design. The analysis reveals the non-symmetric nature of the generated Maxwell forces, which are an important consideration, particularly in the design of superconducting systems.
