Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conductive layer and magnetic layer are stacked one on top of another, then electric field shielding and magnetic field shielding are achieved, but the magnetic field shielding effect is insufficient in wide frequency range

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic field shielding effectVSAvoidfrequency range
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The conductive layer is segmented into a mesh structure with multiple conductive wires arranged in patterns (e.g., grid, honeycomb). This segmentation increases the surface area of conductive material while maintaining flexibility and allowing the magnetic layer to be sandwiched between mesh layers, improving magnetic field shielding across wider frequency ranges.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic layer is sandwiched between two conductive mesh layers, creating a nested structure where the magnetic layer is enclosed within the conductive mesh. This configuration allows the magnetic material to interact with electromagnetic fields from both sides, enhancing magnetic field shielding effectiveness across broad frequency ranges.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Reliability

If conductive layer and magnetic layer are stacked, then shielding effect is obtained, but flexibility and resistance to deformation are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshielding effectVSAvoidflexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The conductive mesh is constructed from thin, flexible conductive wires that can bend and deform without breaking. The mesh structure inherently provides flexibility while maintaining electrical conductivity, allowing the shielding material to conform to various shapes and applications without compromising shielding effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The shielding material combines different materials with complementary properties: conductive materials (e.g., metal wires, conductive polymers) for electrical conductivity and mesh structure for flexibility, combined with magnetic materials (e.g., ferrite, magnetite) for magnetic field shielding. This composite structure achieves both shielding effectiveness and mechanical flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
