Mass Spring

This paper proposes a new type of a magnetic actuator that operates on a resonance energy of a mass-spring model by using an electromagnetic force. The magnetic actuator is moved by the difference in an inertia force during one period of vibration. Experimental result demonstrates that a horizontal speed of the magnetic actuator was 7.4 mm/s with load mass of 50 g. We considered a method of a cable-free movement of the actuator by using two iron rails and four permanent magnets. The magnetic actuator is able to move stably a ceiling plane and a wall plane. This actuator is able to move on the plane of the magnetic materials only a function generator and a power amplifier.

The present paper proposes a novel cableless magnetic actuator that exhibits a very high thrusting force and is capable of high speed locomotion in a thin pipe by using new type propulsion module. The magnetic actuator is moved according to the vibration amplitude and elastic energy of a mass-spring system due to mechanical resonance energy. The proposed actuator contains an electrical inverter that directly transforms DC from button batteries into AC. The electrical DC-AC inverter incorporates a mass-spring system, a reed switch and a curved permanent magnet that switches under an electromagnetic force. Experimental results indicate that the proposed actuator is able to move upward at a speed of 51 mm/s by the power provided by 8 button batteries when pulling a 10 g load mass. This cableless magnetic actuator has several possible applications, including small pipe inspection and maintenance.

Magnetic Suspension System

This paper proposes a new type of noncontact magnetic suspension system using two permanent magnets driven by rotary actuators. The paper aims to explain the proposed concept, configuration of the suspension system, and basic analyses for feasibility by FEM analyses. Two bar-shaped permanent magnets are installed as they are driven by rotary actuators independently. Attractive forces of two magnets act on the iron ball which is located under the magnets. Control of the angles of two magnets can suspend the iron ball stably without mechanical contact and changes the position of the ball. FEM analyses have been carried out for the arrangement of two permanent magnets and forces are simulated for noncontact suspension. Hence, successfully the required enough force against the gravity of the iron ball can be generated and controlled. Control of the horizontal force is also confirmed by the rotation of the permanent magnets.

Test Result

A permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) based on the principle of variable exciting magnetic reluctance (VMRPMSM) is presented. The motor is equipped with symmetrical non-magnetic conductors on both sides of the tangential magnetized permanent magnets (PMs). By placing the non-magnetic conductor (NMC), the magnetic reluctance in the exciting circuit is adjusted, and the flux weakening (FW) of the motor is realized. Hence, the NMC is studied comprehensively. On the basis of introducing the motor structure, the FW principle of this PMSM is described. The shape of the NMC is determined by analyzing and calculating the electromagnetic force (EF) acting on the PMs. We calculate the magnetic reluctance of the NMC and research on the effects of the NMC on electromagnetic force, d-axis and q-axis inductance and FW performance. The critical speeds from the test of the no-load back electromotive force (EMF) verify the correctness of the NMC design. The analysis is corresponding to the test result which lays the foundation of design for this kind of new PMSM.

In this experimental study, permanent magnets with three different sizes (M-1: 32 mm inner diameter, 70 mm outer diameter and 15 mm thick, M-2: 25 mm inner diameter, 60 mm outer diameter and 10 mm thick, M-3: 22 mm inner diameter, 45 mm outer diameter and 9 mm thick) are fully submerged in the single-slope glass solar still. The performance of magnetic solar stills (MSS) with three different sizes at 2 cm depth water to ensure that magnets are fully submerged is compared with conventional solar still (CSS) at the location 17.3850°N, 78.4867°E. Tiwari model is adapted to calculate the heat transfer coefficients (HTC), internal and exergy efficiencies. MSS with M-1, M-2 and M-3 significantly enhanced the convective, radiative, and evaporative heat transfer rate for the 2 cm depth of water. This is due to the desired magnetic treatment of water, which reduces the surface tension and increases the hydrogen bonds. The MSS's total internal HTC, instantaneous efficiencies led CSS by 25.52%, 28.8%, respectively, with M-1. Having various magnetic fields due to different magnets sizes increases MSS's exergetic efficiency by 33.61% with M-1, 33.76% with M-2, and 42.25% with M-3. Cumulative yield output for MSS with M-1, M-2, and M-3 is 21.66%, 17.64%, 15.78% higher than CSS. The use of permanent magnets of different sizes in the MSS is a viable, economical and straight forward technique to enhance productivity.

Application of single layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) as resonant sensors in detection of ultra-fine nanoparticles (NPs) is investigated via molecular dynamics (MD) and nonlocal elasticity approaches. To take into consideration the effect of geometric nonlinearity, nonlocality and atomic interactions between SLGSs and NPs, a nonlinear nonlocal plate model carrying an attached mass-spring system is introduced and a combination of pseudo-spectral (PS) and integral quadrature (IQ) methods is proposed to numerically determine the frequency shifts caused by the attached metal NPs. In MD simulations, interactions between carbon–carbon, metal–metal and metal–carbon atoms are described by adaptive intermolecular reactive empirical bond order (AIREBO) potential, embedded atom method (EAM), and Lennard–Jones (L–J) potential, respectively. Nonlocal small-scale parameter is calibrated by matching frequency shifts obtained by nonlocal and MD simulation approaches with same vibration amplitude. The influence of nonlinearity, nonlocality and distribution of attached NPs on frequency shifts and sensitivity of the SLGS sensors are discussed in detail.

Proper Orthogonal

A method of modal analysis by a mass-weighted proper orthogonal decomposition for multi-degree-of-freedom and distributed-parameter systems of arbitrary mass distribution is outlined. The method involves reduced-order modeling of the system mass distribution so that the discretized mass matrix dimension matches the number of sensed quantities, and hence the dimension of the response ensemble and correlation matrix. In this case, the linear interpolation of unsensed displacements is used to reduce the size of the mass matrix. The idea is applied to the modal identification of a mass-spring system and an exponential rod.

AbstractWe use front tracking data structures and functions to model the dynamic evolution of fabric surface. We represent the fabric surface by a triangulated mesh with preset equilibrium side length. The stretching and wrinkling of the surface are modeled by the mass-spring system. The external driving force is added to the fabric motion through the “Impulse method” which computes the velocity of the point mass by superposition of momentum. The mass-spring system is a nonlinear ODE system. Added by the numerical and computational analysis, we show that the spring system has an upper bound of the eigen frequency. We analyzed the system by considering two spring models and we proved in one case that all eigenvalues are imaginary and there exists an upper bound for the eigen-frequency This upper bound plays an important role in determining the numerical stability and accuracy of the ODE system. Based on this analysis, we analyzed the numerical accuracy and stability of the nonlinear spring mass system for fabric surface and its tangential and normal motion. We used the fourth order Runge-Kutta method to solve the ODE system and showed that the time step is linearly dependent on the mesh size for the system.
