Linearity is an important index for evaluating the performance of various sensors. Under the Villari effect, there may be some hysteresis between the input force and the output voltage of a force sensor, meaning that the output will be multivalued and nonlinear. To improve the linearity and eliminate the hysteresis of such sensors, an output compensation method using a variable bias current is proposed based on the bidirectional energy conversion mechanism of giant magnetostrictive material. First, the magnetization relationship between the input force, bias current, and flux density is established. Second, a nonlinear neural network model of the force-magnetization hysteresis and a neural network model for the compensation control of the force sensor are established. These models are trained using the magnetic flux density-force curve and the magnetic flux density-current curve, respectively. Taking the optimal linearity as the objective function, the bias current under different input forces is optimized. Finally, a bias current control system is developed and an experimental test platform is built to verify the proposed method. The results show that the proposed variable bias current hysteresis compensation method enables the linearity under the return of the force sensor to reach 1.6%, which is around 48.3% higher than under previous methods. Thus, the proposed variable bias current method effectively suppresses the hysteresis phenomenon and provides improved linearity for giant magnetostrictive force sensors.

As the manufacturing technology of transformer getting more and more mature, issue of its vibration and noise is getting more and more attention. The vibration is more obviously when the transformer is running with DC Bias. 3D field-circuit coupling models of single-phase three-column power transformer was created by ANSYS. The simulating distributions of core magnetic flux density were obtained when the model was running with DC bias current of 0A, 0.9A and 2.6A. So were the modal shapes and curve of vibration-frequency of the transformer model. The theoretical guidance of reducing transformer vibration was obtained after analyzing the simulation result.

In the linear and planar motors, the 1D Halbach magnet array is extensively used. The sinusoidal property of the magnetic field deteriorates by analyzing the magnetic field at a small air gap. Therefore, a new 1D Halbach magnet array is proposed, in which the permanent magnet with a curved surface is applied. Based on the superposition of principle and Fourier series, the magnetic flux density distribution is derived. The optimized curved surface is obtained and fitted by a polynomial. The sinusoidal magnetic field is verified by comparing it with the magnetic flux density of the finite element model. Through the analysis of different dimensions of the permanent magnet array, the optimization result has good applicability. The force ripple can be significantly reduced by the new magnet array. The effect on the mass and air gap is investigated compared with a conventional magnet array with rectangular permanent magnets. In conclusion, the new magnet array design has the scalability to be extended to various sizes of motor and is especially suitable for small air gap applications.

As an auxiliary function of the wireless power transfer (WPT) system, coil positioning can solve the power and efficiency degradation during power transmission caused by misalignment of the magnetic coupler. In this paper, a Hall sensor array is used to measure the change of magnetic flux density. By comparing the multisensor data fusion results with the preset data obtained from the coil alignment, the real-time accurate positioning of the receiving coil can be realized. Firstly, the positioning model of the receiving coil is built and the variation of magnetic flux density with the coil misalignment is analyzed. Secondly, the arrangement of the Planar 8-direction symmetric sensor array and the positioning algorithm based on data fusion of magnetic flux density variations are proposed. In order to avoid coil positioning misalignment caused by the unstable magnetic field distribution which is actually affected by the change of mutual inductance during automatic guided vehicle (AGV) alignment, the constant current strategy of primary and secondary sides is proposed. Finally, the coil positioning experimental platform is built. The experimental results show that the coil positioning method proposed in this paper has high accuracy, and the positioning error is within 4 cm.

AbstractDiaphragm weakness affects up to 60% of ventilated patients leading to muscle atrophy, reduction of muscle fiber force via muscle fiber injuries and prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation. Electromagnetic stimulation of the phrenic nerve can induce contractions of the diaphragm and potentially prevent and treat loss of muscular function. Recommended safety distance of electromagnetic coils is 1 m. The aim of this study was to investigate the magnetic flux density in a typical intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Simulation of magnetic flux density generated by a butterfly coil was performed in a Berlin ICU training center with testing of potential disturbance and heating of medical equipment. Approximate safety distances to surrounding medical ICU equipment were additionally measured in an ICU training center in Bern. Magnetic flux density declined exponentially with advancing distance from the stimulation coil. Above a coil distance of 300 mm with stimulation of 100% power the signal could not be distinguished from the surrounding magnetic background noise. Electromagnetic stimulation of the phrenic nerve for diaphragm contraction in an intensive care unit setting seems to be safe and feasible from a technical point of view with a distance above 300 mm to ICU equipment from the stimulation coil.
