Linear vibration motors are becoming more popular for use in haptic applications owing to their better performance. However, a permanent magnet with a large volume causes massive magnetic flux leakage, which can be harmful to passengers with a cardiac pacemaker or an implantable-cardioverter defibrillator. The magnetic flux leakage is calculated using the 3D finite element method, which can also be applied to obtain the force factor. Then, the displacement and impedance are obtained to check the performance of the linear vibration motor by utilizing the finite element method. A prototype of a linear vibration motor is analyzed and verified based on the experimental results. Based on the analysis methods, three new designs are proposed to reduce the magnetic flux leakage to within 50 G. The final design shows a 93.07% reduction of the magnetic flux leakage while maintaining the same performance as the prototype. To verify the validity of the analysis results, three experimental results were obtained: the magnetic flux leakage, displacement, and impedance. The experimental results are in good agreement with the analysis results.

AbstractThe metal magnetic memory method is a novel technique for monitoring fatigue cracks in steel structures, which can reduce operational expenses and increase safety by minimizing inspections. The crack geometry can be identified by measuring the self magnetic flux leakage, which is induced by the Earth’s magnetic field and the permanent magnetization. The finite element method can be used to simulate the induced magnetic field around cracks to help interpret the self magnetic flux leakage measurements, but it is unclear what material properties to use. This study aims to determine the magnetic permeability of structural steel for accurate simulation of the induced magnetic field around cracks by the finite element method. The induced magnetic field was extracted from measurements above two square steel plates, one without defect and one with a straight slit, and compared with finite element results in function of the relative permeability. For both plates, a uniform relative permeability could be found for which experimental and numerical results were in good agreement. For the plate without defect and a relative permeability of 350, errors were within 20% and were concentrated around the plate’s edges. For the plate with the slit and a relative permeability of 225, errors were within 5%.

Abstract The finite element method has been used widely in tire engineering. Most tire simulations using the finite element method are static analyses, because tires are very complex nonlinear structures. Recently, transient phenomena have been studied with explicit finite element analysis codes. In this paper, the authors demonstrate the feasibility of tire cornering simulation using an explicit finite element code, PAM-SHOCK. First, we propose the cornering simulation using the explicit finite element analysis code. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed simulation, computed cornering forces for a 175SR14 tire are compared with experimental results from an MTS Flat-Trac Tire Test System. The computed cornering forces agree well with experimental results. After that, parametric studies are conducted by using the proposed simulation.

Power transformers play an indispensable component in AC transmission systems. If the operating condition of a power transformer can be accurately predicted before the equipment is operated, it will help transformer manufacturers to design optimized power transformers. In the optimal design of the power transformer, the design value of the magnetic flux density in the core is important, and it affects the efficiency, cost, and life cycle. Therefore, this paper uses the software of ANSYS Maxwell to solve the instantaneous magnetic flux density distribution, core loss distribution, and total iron loss of the iron core based on the finite element method in the time domain. . In addition, a new external excitation equation is proposed. The new external excitation equation can improve the accuracy of the simulation results and reduce the simulation time. Finally, the three-phase five-limb transformer is developed, and actually measures the local magnetic flux density and total core loss to verify the feasibility of the proposed finite element method of model and simulation parameters.

Mechanistic pavement analysis and design based on either layered elastic analysis (LEA) or the finite element method (FEM) is increasingly being used to replace the empirical design process. The simplifying assumptions of a uniform, homogeneous layer of linear material used in LEA can render its analysis inaccurate for real pavement structures. The FEM is more attractive for structural analysis of pavements; the generality of the FEM also allows both the use of comprehensive material models and modeling of the spatial variability that exists in pavement systems. To date, spatial variability and uncertainty are ignored in pavement system finite element analyses. Ignoring spatial variability and uncertainty implies a false sense of accuracy in the results and can lead to inaccurate assessment of the pavement. The first application of the probabilistic finite element method to pavement response analysis and life prediction and the first investigation of the effects of spatial variability on pavement life prediction are presented. It is concluded that the probabilistic FEA, with spatial variability, is a more accurate representation of the true physical condition and leads to results that are less conservative than those obtained with probabilistic LEA.
