Excitation of Lightweight Steel Hollow Spheres by Means of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field

A technique of accelerated movement of metallic element by means of a pulsed electromagnetic field is sufficiently known. Despite of that, a behavior of lightweight steel hollow spheres in pulsed electromagnetic fields is not fully explored. A particular emphasis of current study is a modeling of lightweight steel hollow spheres behavior in pulsed electromagnetic field. This phenomenon can be exploited for vibrations damping in granular dampers, where dissipation of mechanical energy via particle collisions occurs.In current paper some prospects of pulsed electromagnetic field usage for lightweight steel hollow spheres excitation and practical applications in vibration control are suggested.
