Transverse sinusoidal magnetic field

The anisotropic continuum approach to losses in multifilament conductors was first conceived by Carr, who developed the model assuming that the inductor is a continuum material with anisotropic resistivity. He applied this approach to the special case of losses in cylindrical conductors for applied transverse sinusoidal fields in the absence of transport current [ ]. Those losses resulting from pJ in the conductor are classified as eddy current or saturation hysteresis losses, depending upon the level of /. Eddy current losses result from J below Jc, with the implicit assumption of rapidly rising resistivity in the flux-flow regime with currents saturated at Jc. The magnetization loss for the continuum is essentially the magnetic hysteresis loss for the filaments times the fraction of the composite occupied by the filaments.
