China’s total coal consumption accounts for 50% of total energy consumption. However, every ton of coal in the process of production and use will bring huge losses to the environment. Desulfurization and ash removal of coal have been a continuous focus of researchers in various countries. The three-phase alternating current (AC) magnetic separator is a device for desulfurization and ash reduction of coal based on the principle of generating an alternating magnetic field generated by a three-phase flat linear motor. It is optimized by finite element analysis and its electromagnetic thrust is improved by 114% after optimization. Factors such as current size, magnetic particle size, and installation angle of the device are also analyzed. The simulation results show that the structure design of the three-phase AC magnetic separator is reasonable.

Based on finite element analysis technology, a static simulation model of the swing-rod constraint reciprocating piston-type oil-free air compressor was established for stress analysis of the compressor. Simulation results show that the stress in the main parts of the new compressor is within the permitted range, so structure design and parameter setting of the compressor are reasonable. Moreover, the force condition of seal rings is improved by adding swinging-rod constraint mechanism, which will prolong the service life of seal rings. With this study, these simulation results will guide further modification and performance improvement of the compressor.

Cage Induction Motor

There is a necessity to design a three-phase squirrel cage induction motor (SCIM) for high-speed applications with a larger air gap length in order to limit the distortion of air gap flux density, the thermal expansion of stator and rotor teeth, centrifugal forces, and the magnetic pull. To that effect, a larger air gap length lowers the power factor, efficiency, and torque density of a three-phase SCIM. This should inform motor design engineers to take special care during the design process of a three-phase SCIM by selecting an air gap length that will provide optimal performance. This paper presents an approach that would assist with the selection of an optimal air gap length (OAL) and optimal capacitive auxiliary stator winding (OCASW) configuration for a high torque per ampere (TPA) three-phase SCIM. A genetic algorithm (GA) assisted by finite element analysis (FEA) is used in the design process to determine the OAL and OCASW required to obtain a high torque per ampere without compromising the merit of achieving an excellent power factor and high efficiency for a three-phase SCIM. The performance of the optimized three-phase SCIM is compared to unoptimized machines. The results obtained from FEA are validated through experimental measurements. Owing to the penalty functions related to the value of objective and constraint functions introduced in the genetic algorithm model, both the FEA and experimental results provide evidence that an enhanced torque per ampere three-phase SCIM can be realized for a large OAL and OCASW with high efficiency and an excellent power factor in different working conditions.

Geometrical Effects

This study employed finite element analysis to simulate ultrasonic metal bump direct bonding. The stress distribution on bonding interfaces in metal bump arrays made of Al, Cu, and Ni/Pd/Au was simulated by adjusting geometrical parameters of the bumps, including the shape, size, and height; the bonding was performed with ultrasonic vibration with a frequency of 35 kHz under a force of 200 N, temperature of 200 °C, and duration of 5 s. The simulation results revealed that the maximum stress of square bumps was greater than that of round bumps. The maximum stress of little square bumps was at least 15% greater than those of little round bumps and big round bumps. An experimental demonstration was performed in which bumps were created on Si chips through Al sputtering and lithography processes. Subtractive lithography etching was the only effective process for the bonding of bumps, and Ar plasma treatment magnified the joint strength. The actual joint shear strength was positively proportional to the simulated maximum stress. Specifically, the shear strength reached 44.6 MPa in the case of ultrasonic bonding for the little Al square bumps.

Electromagnetic Performance

This paper discusses the design and analysis of a high-harmonic injection-based field excitation scheme for the brushless operation of wound field synchronous machines (WFSMs) in order to achieve a higher efficiency. The proposed scheme involves two inverters. One of these inverters provides the three-phase fundamental-harmonic current to the armature winding, whereas the second inverter injects the single-phase high-harmonic i.e., 6th harmonic current in this case, to the neutral-point of the Y-connected armature winding. The injection of the high-harmonic current in the armature winding develops the high-harmonic magnetomotive force (MMF) in the air gap of the machine beside the fundamental. The high-harmonic MMF induces the harmonic current in the excitation winding of the rotor, whereas the fundamental MMF develops the main armature field. The harmonic current is rectified to inject the direct current (DC) into the main rotor field winding. The main armature and rotor fields, when interacting with each other, produce torque. Finite element analysis (FEA) is carried out in order to develop a 4-pole 24-slot machine and investigate it using a 6th harmonic current injection for the rotor field excitation to both attain a brushless operation and analyze its electromagnetic performance. Later on, the performance of the proposed topology is compared with the typical brushless WFSM topology employing the 3rd harmonic current injection-based field excitation scheme.

Piezoelectric Energy

In recent years, piezoelectric energy harvester which can replace the traditional battery supply has become a hot topic in global research field of microelectronic devices. Characteristics of a trapezoidal-loop piezoelectric energy harvester (TLPEH) were analyzed through finite-element analysis. The output voltage density is 4.251V/cm2 when 0.1N force is applied to the free end of ten-arm energy harvester. Comparisons of the resonant frequencies and output voltages were made. The first order resonant frequency could reach 15Hz by increasing the number of arms. Meanwhile, the output voltage is improved greatly when excited at first-order resonant frequencies. The trapezoidal-loop structure of TLPEH could enhance frequency response, which means scavenging energy more efficiently in vibration environment. The TLPEH mentioned here might be useful for the future structure design of piezoelectric energy harvester with low resonance frequency.

Shock Processing

Welding residual stress is one of the main factors that affect the strength and life of components. In order to explore the effect on residual stress of welding line by laser shock processing, finite element analysis software ANSYS is used to simulate the welding process, to calculate the distribution of welding residual stress field. On this basis, then AYSYS/LS-DYNA is used to simulate the laser shock processing on welding line. Simulation results show that residual stress distributions of weld region, heat-affected region and matrix by laser shock processing are clearly improved, and the tensile stress of weld region effectively reduce or eliminate. The simulation results and experimental results are generally consistent, it offer reasons for parameter optimization of welding and laser shock processing by finite element analysis software.

Simulation Results

In an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor, an adhesive such as bond is generally injected into the magnet tolerance to prevent vibration of the permanent magnet within the insertion space. In this case, a disadvantage is that the magnet tolerance does not contribute to the performance. In this paper, ferrofluid is inserted to improve the torque density, utilizing the magnet tolerance. When inserting ferrofluid into the magnet tolerance, it is important to fix the magnet because conventional adhesives are not used, and it is important that the ferrofluid does not act as a leakage path within the insertion space. In this study, a new rotor configuration using a plastic barrier that satisfies these considerations was introduced. The analysis was conducted through finite element analysis (FEA), and this technique was verified by comparing the simulation results and the experimental results through a dynamo test. It was confirmed that the no-load back electromotive force in the final model increased through ferrofluid injection.
