Simulation of magnetic fibers and textile coatings — •Tomasz Blachowicz1 and Andrea Ehrmann2 — 1Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland — 2Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, Bielefeld, Germany
While simulations of mechanical or conductive properties of textile fibers and textile coatings are being used for a long time, their magnetic properties still lack theoretical descriptions. Due to the broad variety of possible applications of magnetic textiles, such as magnetic coils and sensors, magnetic filters, or invisible magnetic water-marks, simulations would nevertheless be supportive in further developments in this area of smart textiles.
The poster presents different possibilities of micromagnetically modeling magnetic fibers and coatings on fibers and complete textile fabrics [1]. It shows the influence of fiber and coating dimensions on the simulated magnetic properties, depending on the magnetic material and the fiber composition, including interactions between neighboring coated fibers [2]. The shape anisotropy is shown to dominate the magnetic properties of both magnetic fibers and coatings; the effect of this result on possibilities of adjusting the magnetic properties of textile fabrics to a desired application is depicted.
