AIM - TOPICS

The fourth Japanese-Mediterranean Joint Workshop (JAPMED'4) is continuing and extending the successful three previous events: two Japanese-Greek Joint Workshops held in Athens (Greece, 1999) and Oita (Japan, 2001) and the third Japanese-Mediterranean Joint Workshop held in Athens (Greece, 2003), respectively.

The aim of the workshop is to create a link for the participants to share knowledge and experience and for the cross-fertilization of new ideas and developments in applied electromagnetics, design, analysis, new material utilization, and optimization techniques focussing on applications related to superconducting flywheels. Topics related to practical applications, operations, maintenance are also highly encouraged.

The scope of the workshop includes: Advances in Analysis, Manufacturing and Measurements of Advanced Materials (Magnetic, Superconducting and Nanostructured Materials). The topics are related to new developments in the following:

• Computational Electromagnetics

• Magnetic material characterization

• Nanotechnology

• Magnetohydrodynamics

• Bioengineering

• Losses analysis

• Magnetic Material Processing

• Design

• Applications in Energy and Environmental Aspects

• Devices (Magnetic circuits, Transformers, Electrical

  Machines, micro-machines)

    • Superconducting Flywheels

    • Perspectives of High –Tc supercoductors

    • Modelling of superconductive properties

    • Characterization techniques

    • Processing of bulk superconductors

    • Processing of thin and thick film superconductors

    • Special measurement techniques

    • Applications in electricity/electronics and

       transportation (Levitation, electrical/magnetic

       machines, HTS/metal junctions, shielding, squids)
