Calculation of demagnetisation curves of NdFeB-magnets using the finite-element-method

A method is developed, which allows to investigate the influence of magnetostatic coupling of structural details on the demagnetization curve within a two dimensional model. In contrast to former methods, which assigned to each grain one value of magnetic field and one value of nucleation field only, this method takes into account the spatial distribution of these fields. It considers not only the coupling between adjacent grains but also the effect of distant grains. The nucleation fields along the boundary of the grains are generated by a statistical method. The magnetic field is calculated by FEM.<
