Nonlinear Computational Homogenization Method for the Evaluation of Eddy Currents in Soft Magnetic Composites

In this paper, a heterogeneous multiscale method technique is applied to model the behavior of electromagnetic fields in soft magnetic composites (SMC). Two problems are derived from the two-scale homogenization theory: a macroscale problem that captures the slow variations of the overall solution, and many mesoscale problems that allow determining the constitutive laws at the macroscale. As application, an SMC core is considered.
