Abstract: With the increase in power electronic equipment in power system, the excitation of ferromagnetic materials often involves a large number of harmonics. Therefore, it is necessary to construct an accurate dynamic hysteresis model to adapt to this complicated operating state of electrical equipment. In this paper, a Hybrid Dynamic Hysteresis Model (HDHM), which can effectively characterize the harmonic excitation of materials is studied based on the Preisach model and Stacked Auto-Encoder (SAE) model. The static part of this model takes the form of the inverse Preisach model. And the Multiple Dynamic Hysteresis Model Set (MDHMS) is constructed by multiple dynamic …models of eddy currents and excess characteristics of the ferromagnetic materials. The dynamic part of the HDHM takes the form of the model structure combining the Stacked Auto-encoder and the MDHMS. The calculation results of the hysteresis loop and ferromagnetic loss in the harmonic condition of silicon steel sheet proves the validity of this model. Moreover, compared with the conventional dynamic hysteresis model, the HDHM has better accuracy and generalization ability. Show more

Abstract: Machine ratio adaptation of a dual-PM modular doubly salient permanent magnet machine (DPM-DSPM) was proposed to improve the torque characteristics. An optimization design process was examined. Essential machine indicators were investigated to obtain an optimal machine ratio. It was found that p = 4 and a 0.8 rotor pole width ratio of the DPM-DSPM produced the best essential machine indicator that provided the appropriate magnetic flux path and high flux regulation quality. Then, the DPM-DSPM with an optimal machine ratio was investigated based on open-circuit and on-load tests and then compared to a reviewed DPM-DSPM. The results, based on 2-D …finite element analysis, verified that the optimal proposed DPM-DSPM had better torque characteristics. In particular, the optimal proposed structure produced 35.04% higher electromagnetic torque with 61.75% lower ripple torque than the review structure. Therefore, an optimal machine ratio for a DPM-DSPM can be beneficial in solving industrial machine problems, especially noise reduction from vibration. Show more

Abstract: Permanent magnet toroidal motor (PMTM) is a novel spatial motor that integrates toroidal drive system and permanent magnet synchronous motor. The unbalanced magnetic pull (UMP) with planet rotor eccentricity is the main cause of vibration in PMTM. In this paper, the analytical model of magnetic field with planet rotor eccentricity is established with the consideration of magnetic flux leakage. The calculation results of eccentric magnetic fields are compared with simulation results of finite element model. Based on the Maxwell tensor method, the analytical model of UMP with planet rotor eccentricity is established. The changes of UMP with initial eccentricity are …obtained. The UMP is analyzed with the effects of eccentric distance and angle. The transient variations of UMP are discussed with different eccentric situations respectively. In addition, both simulation and calculation results for UMP have a good agreement, which verifies the validity of analytical model. Show more

Abstract: As an important actuator component, the electromagnetic linear actuator has a significant impact on the performance of fully flexible variable valve trains. Aiming at the shortcomings of the conventional moving coil electromagnetic linear actuator (MCELA) with low force density and insufficient end-passive self-holding ability, a novel compound electromagnetic linear actuator (CELA) integrating the advantages of MCELA and the moving iron electromagnetic linear actuator (MIELA) was proposed in this work. The CELA has two operating modes, including single drive mode and cooperative drive mode, and its loss variation is different from that of the single MCELA or MIELA. Firstly, the current …and displacement curves under different operating modes were obtained through experiments, which were then used as the excitation source to quantitatively analyze the copper and iron losses under different working conditions by means of 3D finite element simulation. The loss distribution and ratio of CELA under typical operating conditions were discussed in detail. The effects of stroke and valve opening duration on CELA losses were analyzed. The results show that there are significant differences in the loss variation rules between the two operating modes, the losses increase as the working stroke increases in single drive mode. In the cooperative drive mode, the losses are much greater than in the single drive mode, with the losses decreasing in the initial stage and then increasing as the stroke increases. None of the valve opening durations had a significant effect on losses. This study provides a reference for loss studies of other novel electromagnetic linear actuators. Show more

Abstract: Aiming at the problems existing in current electric energy replacement, such as the random energy fluctuation of the power grid, the energy storage of the power grid and the consumption of new energy, electromagnetic coupling heating technology and methods based on power frequency high power is proposed. According to the theory of electromagnetic induction heating, Maxwell’s equations are used to establish a three-dimensional electromagnetic field simulation model, determining the size of the core and the windings, and completing the structural design of the heater. Based on the simulation model of electromagnetic coupling heater, the back electromotive force of the primary …winding, the induced current of the secondary winding, the B–H curve field diagram of the core, and the J-field diagram of the secondary winding are analyzed to explore heating efficiency of the heater and verify the correctness of electromagnetic coupling heating mechanism. The relationship between the coupling gap, the number of heat dissipation rings, and the air gap and heating efficiency of the heater was further explored, and the model structure of the heater was optimized according to the variation rules so that heating efficiency of the heater reached more than 99%. The electromagnetic coupling heater achieves high efficiency, cleanliness and low carbon, and power frequency high power, which is of great significance to the renewal of electric heater in the future.

Abstract: A novel Triple-magnet Magnetic Dynamic Vibration Absorber (TMDVA) with Eddy Current Damping (ECD) and Coulomb damping is proposed in this paper. A multi-storey structure is selected as the vibration reduction object. First, the equivalent dynamics model of the TMDVA multi-storey structure vibration reduction system is established. Then the nonlinear magnetic force model is built according to the magnetizing current theory. Next, an ECD accurate calculation model is developed and derived based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. Because of the model, the ECD coefficient can be designed and adjusted arbitrarily. The full text indicates that adjusting the ECD coefficient properly …can not only improve the vibration reduction effect of the TMDVA, but also reduce the sensitivity of the vibration reduction effect to the excitation amplitude as well as enhance the broadband vibration reduction performance and the robustness of the TMDVA. With its simple structure, the TMDVA is easy to be implemented and miniaturized. And the low frequency vibration reduction effect of the TMDVA is better than other existing magnetic dynamic vibration absorbers. Taken together, the TMDVA has potential application value in passive vibration reduction of engineering structures. Show more

Abstract: Metal magnetic memory testing (MMMT) is a nondestructive testing technique that can detect early signs of damage in components. Many scholars have studied the effect of uniform stress on the self-leakage magnetic field (SLMF) strength of ferromagnetic materials. However, there is still insufficient research on the stress concentration caused by uneven stress, under the combined action of bending and shear. In this study, we studied the law of distribution of the magnetic signal, H P (y ) and magnetic gradient, K , on a part of the surface of a steel box girder damaged by buckling, using a four-point …bending pattern. The results showed that combining the three peak positions, namely, the magnetic signal, its newly added comparing initial magnetic signal, and magnetic gradient distribution curves, could accurately determine all stress concentration positions on the flange of the steel box girder, and reduce the interference of the initial complex residual magnetic field. Furthermore, we studied the quantitative relationship between normal stress, shear stress, and a magnetic signal. It was found that the stress-magnetic relationship conformed to the Jiles–Atherton model. The peak value of H P (y ) – 𝜎, |H P (y )|a – 𝜎 , and K max – 𝜎 relationship curves could be used as the characteristic point of the critical yield stress at the action of normal and shear stress. The degree of stress concentration of the flange and web could be quantitatively evaluated by fitting the K max – 𝜎 relationship. This study can provide an experimental reference for the application of MMMT in the evaluation and early warning of the state of damage to a steel box girder. Show more

Abstract: The Deflectable double-stator Switched Reluctance Generator (DSRG) has the advantages of simple structure, small volume and multi-dimensional operation. The DSRG and propeller are combined into the application of underwater power generation. With the help of the deflect ability of the generator, the efficiency is improved. Due to the uncertainty of ocean current direction and the structure of switched reluctance generator, the torque ripple is one of the important factors damaging the underwater generator. In order to effectively suppress the influence of torque ripple caused by generator operation, a method of adding pole shoes on the pole side of outer stator …is proposed, so as to reduce the torque ripple. The propulsion structure running at different deflection angles is simulated. The torque and speed obtained before and after pole shoe optimization are input into the propeller model. The pressure and speed characteristics of the corresponding blade structure are simulated to verify the effect of optimization and the effectiveness of the power generation system. Show more

Abstract: Since Remote field eddy current (RFEC) detection technology is barely limited by the skin effect, it can realize the defect detection of large-thickness components. Whereas, the structure of the RFEC probe for the planar conductor is complicated, resulting in an oversized probe. This hinders the application and development of the RFEC testing technology. In this paper, finite element simulations and experimental verification are used to optimize the RFEC probe structure for flat conductors. The results have shown that the thickness of the magnetic shield is the dominant factor in achieving high performance of RFEC inspection of flat conductors. When inspecting …both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic flat conductors, cylindrical magnetic shields with appropriate thickness and appropriate excitation frequencies are preferred for improvement of RFEC testing.

Abstract: In this work, an identification of the electrical conductivity of material 𝜎 was carried out. This is accomplished by formulating and solving an inverse problem based on the minimization of an objective function using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method. Such a function represents the difference between the experimentally measured final ejection position and that numerically computed by solving the material magnetic separation problem. For this, the coupled magnetic field and the material dynamic governing equations were numerically solved using the finite element (FE) and Runge–Kutta (RK4) methods. The strong correlation observed between the computed and measured final position of …the separated material verifies the accuracy of the proposed identifying approach. Show more
