Abstract :
In this paper, a new iterative algorithm for the analysis of properties of magnetic shielding systems is proposed. Since such shielding systems for low frequency applications are composed of thin-walled shells with magnetic materials of high permeability, the thin shell approximation is adopted and a numerical integral formulation of the ensuing magnetostatic problem is obtained in the form of a convolution equation. This algebraic system is eventually solved iteratively by exploiting the convolution properties of the discrete Fourier transform. The convergence properties of the procedure are analyzed and tested on two case studies where isotropic and anisotropic magnetic shields are used.
