Enhancing Infrastructure Safety with Natural Ferromagnetic Resonance in Cast Microwires

Understanding Natural Ferromagnetic Resonance (NFMR):
NFMR is a phenomenon where ferromagnetic microwires exhibit specific resonance frequencies that shift due to internal and external stress factors. These microwires, particularly glass-coated amorphous magnetic microwires (GCAMNWs), are highly sensitive to mechanical deformations.

Key Findings of the Study:

  • Stress Detection Mechanism: The NFMR frequency of microwires shifts under deformation, allowing for non-contact diagnostics of structural integrity.
  • Application in Critical Infrastructure: Bridges, dams, skyscrapers, and wind turbines can integrate these microwires to detect dangerous deformations before visible cracks appear.
  • Real-Time Monitoring: By embedding microwires in concrete structures or coating them with a special adhesive, a radar system can periodically scan for frequency shifts, indicating potential structural risks.

Broader Implications and Future Applications:

  • Smart Cities & IoT: Integrating NFMR sensors into smart city frameworks can enable real-time infrastructure monitoring.
  • Disaster Prevention: The ability to detect stress changes early can prevent collapses caused by natural disasters.
  • Cost Efficiency: Compared to traditional inspection methods, NFMR offers a cost-effective, continuous monitoring solution.
