Stochastic methods offer a certain robustness quality to the optimization process. In this paper, the Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) searching techniques are applied to the shape optimization of an electromagnet. The magnetic field is computed using the 2D finite element code FEMM. The aim of optimization is the search for an optimal pole shape geometry leading to a homogeneous magnetic field distribution in the region of interest.

The paper presents research on magnetic field exciters dedicated to testing magnetocaloric materials (MCMs) as well as used in the design process of magnetic refrigeration systems. An important element of the proposed test stand is the system of magnetic field excitation. It should provide a homogeneous magnetic field with a controllable value of its intensity in the MCM testing region. Several concepts of a magnetic circuit when designing the field exciters have been proposed and evaluated. In the MCM testing region of the proposed exciters, the magnetic field is controlled by changing the structure of the magnetic circuit. A precise 3D field model of electromagnetic phenomena has been developed in the professional finite element method (FEM) package and used to design and analyze the exciters. The obtained results of the calculations of the magnetic field distribution in the working area were compared with the results of the measurements carried out on the exciter prototype. The conclusions resulting from the conducted research are presented and discussed.

Several constructions of electromagnetic actuators with moving permanent magnet for Braille screen are studied. All they are formed from a basic one that consists of two coils, core and moving permanent magnet. The finite element method is used for modeling of the magnetic field and for obtaining the electromagnetic force acting on the mover. The static force-stroke characteristics are obtained for four different constructions of the actuator. The constructions with ferromagnetic disc between the coils ensure greater force than the ones without disc and can reach the required minimum force.

AbstractHarvesting energy from ambient vibration sources is challenging due to its low characteristic amplitude and frequencies. In this purpose, this work presents a compact hybrid vibration converter based on electromagnetic and magnetoelectric principles working for a frequency bandwidth and under real vibration source properties. The combination of especially these two principles is mainly due to the fact that both converters can use the same changes of the magnetic field for energy harvesting. The converter was investigated using finite element analysis and validated experimentally. Results have shown that a frequency bandwidth up to 12 Hz with a characteristic resonant frequency at 24 Hz and a power density of 0.11mW/cm3 can be reached.

In this paper, we present an efficient finite element framework for modeling the finite deformations of slender magneto-active elastomers (MAE) under applied magnetic fields or currents. For the convenience of numerical modeling, magnetic field is defined at fixed spatial coordinates in the background space rather than in the elastic MAEs using material coordinates. The magnetic field will vary with free or localized currents while the spatial distribution of the magnetic field will evolve with the motion or deformation of the MAE materials, which is actuated by the surface or body forces induced by external magnetic fields or equivalent currents. A staggered strategy and a Riks method are introduced to solve the strongly coupled governing equations of the magnetic field and displacement field using finite element method. The mesh distortion along the interfaces between MAE domain and free-space domain is resolved by considering concurrent deformation of the mesh in these two domains. A few 2D numerical examples demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the developed model for simulating large deformation of MAE with non-uniform spatial magnetic field under different actuation sources such as free currents, magnetization or external magnetic field. This framework offers a new solution strategy for modeling mechano-magneto problems of MAEs and will help rational design and analysis of MAE-based actuators and soft robotics in the future.

Aims. We investigate the nature of the magnetic Rayleigh–Taylor instability at a density interface that is permeated by an oblique homogeneous magnetic field in an incompressible limit. Methods. Using the system of linearised ideal incompressible magnetohydrodynamics equations, we derive the dispersion relation for perturbations of the contact discontinuity by imposing the necessary continuity conditions at the interface. The imaginary part of the frequency describes the growth rate of waves due to instability. The growth rate of waves is studied by numerically solving the dispersion relation. Results. The critical wavenumber at which waves become unstable, which is present for a parallel magnetic field, disappears because the magnetic field is inclined. Instead, waves are shown to be unstable for all wavenumbers. Theoretical results are applied to diagnose the structure of the magnetic field in prominence threads. When we apply our theoretical results to observed waves in prominence plumes, we obtain a wide range of field inclination angles, from 0.5° up to 30°. These results highlight the diagnostic possibilities that our study offers.

Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) system use conductive coils made of superconductor wire to store energy, its application entirely depends on the design and development of superconducting magnet, as the magnetic storage element, during the operation of the superconducting magnet generates relatively strong magnetic field. In this paper, a 1MJ class single solenoidal SMES with Bi2223/Ag conductor is presented. On the basis of electromagnetic theory, subsequently infers mathematical model of magnetic field distribution by ANSYS finite element analysis software, modeling a two-dimensional electromagnetic analysis of 44 double pancakes to get the magnetic field distribution patterns. The results of the analysis provide a reference for the structural design, optimization of a superconducting magnet and shielding of stray magnetic field.

Based on the theoretical model, magnetic field distribution of rectangular teeth, two-sides dilated shape and one-side dilated shape teeth structure with common other conditions were calculated using finite element method when the sealing gap was 0.1mm and 0.12mm. The comparison of their results with the same sealing gap showed that rectangular teeth structure had the highest magnetic leakage. Moreover, the magnetic field distribution of sealing structures with rectangular stages on both the shaft and pole pieces under the same design and sealing gap were also calculated using the same method, whose result was compared with rectangular stages on pole pieces only. The comparison showed that the former did not have higher pressure capability obviously but led to higher magnetic leakage.

In this study, the MRE was manufactured, and the sandwich beam was also fabricated by treating with MRE between two thin aluminum layers. The experiment test rig was set up to investigate the vibration response of the MRE sandwich beam under non-homogeneous magnetic field. The experimental results show that the MRE sandwich beam had the capabilities of left shifting first natural frequency when the magnetic field was increased in the activated regions. It is also obvious that the first natural frequency of the MRE sandwich beam decreased as the magnetic field that applied on the beam was moved from the clamped end of the beam to the free end of the beam.
