This paper deals with the description, measurement, and use of electromagnetic properties of ferromagnetic fibres used as dispersed fibre reinforcement in composite mixtures. Firstly, the fibres’ magnetic properties are shown, and a method of measuring the hysteresis loop of fibres is proposed. The results from the measurements are presented and a discussion of the influence of measured parameters on the fibres’ orientation in a magnetic field is performed. Furthermore, methods of non-destructive estimation, of their amount and orientation in the composite specimens, are discussed. The main experimental goal of this paper is to show the relationship between this non-destructive method’s results and the destructive flexural strength measurements. The method is sensitive enough to provide information related to fibre reinforcement.

The efficiency of fibre reinforcement in concrete can be drastically increased by orienting the fibres using a magnetic field. This orientation occurs immediately after pouring fresh concrete when the fibres can still move. The technique is most relevant for manufacturing prefabricated elements such as beams or columns. However, the parameters of such a field are not immediately apparent, as they depend on the specific fibre reaction to the magnetic field. In this study, a numerical model was created in ANSYS Maxwell to examine the mechanical torque acting on fibres placed in a magnetic field with varying parameters. The model consists of a single fibre placed between two Helmholtz coils. The simulations were verified with an experimental setup as well as theoretical relationships. Ten different fibre types, both straight and hook-ended, were examined. The developed model can be successfully used to study the behaviour of fibres in a magnetic field. The fibre size plays the most important role together with the magnetic saturation of the fibre material. Multiple fibres show significant interactions.

This paper describes a wire resistor with the resistance of several hundreds ohms, with a power dissipation up to several hundreds watts. In a high frequency band, it shows maximum frequency reflection coefficient values with respect to the nominal resistance value of about 0.1, and which reaches a third order IM distortion products close to -130dBc at the dissipation power.

The mechanical performance of fiber-reinforced concrete is critically dependent on the orientation and concentration of its reinforcing fibers. This paper presents a non-destructive method for diagnosing ferromagnetic (steel) fiber parameters especially suited for large planar specimens. The proposed technique utilizes an electromagnetic measurement system using electrical coils with commercial LCR meters, but also a novel custom-made meter suitable for factory environments, offering a practical solution for quality control in the prefabrication of high-performance structural elements. This study details the theoretical background, experimental setup, methodology and provides an evaluation of the diagnostic system’s effectiveness and accuracy. The experiments were performed using steel fiber specimens with cardboard as a carrier. This allows for the exact placement and orientation of the fibers in a matrix that has negligible influence on the magnetic field, similar to plain concrete. The results demonstrate a strong correlation between the electromagnetic measurements and the actual fiber parameters, confirming the method’s reliability.
