| Abstract: | This paper deals with phenomena leading to a considerable increase in magnetic field and energy density during compression
of a magnetic flux trapped by a conducting shell and joint deformation of a magnetic field and material. The main features
and merits of these two alternative schemes of magnetic cumulation are discussed. A comparison is made between the classical
and schock-wave schemes of magnetic compression in a material with a phase transition from a nonconducting to a conducting
state. The possibility of magnetic-energy cumulation during stretching of magnetic field line by a transverse flow of a conducting
material is considered.
