The aim of this paper is to present the optimal design process and an optimized model for a discontinuous armature arrangement permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM). The stator tooth shapes are optimized to reduce detent force. When the shape of the stator is changed to reduce the detent force, the saturation magnetic flux density and the back electromotive force characteristics change. Multi-objective optimization is used to search for the local lowest point that can improve the detent force, saturation magnetic flux density, and back EMF characteristics. To reduce the detent force generated at the outlet edge, a trapezoidal auxiliary tooth was installed and the performance was analyzed. The experiment’s response surface methodology is used as an optimization method and all the experimental samples are obtained from finite-element analysis. The validity of this method is verified by comparing the optimized FEA model to the initial FEA model.

In this article, we present a numerical model of a magnetic abrasive finishing station, which was analyzed using the finite element method (FEM). The obtained results were compared with the real values measured on an experimental station of our own design. The prepared station had the option of adjusting the magnetic flux density inside the machining gap, the width of which could be changed from 10 to 30 mm. The maximum value of the magnetic flux density inside the air gap was 0.8 T. The real distribution of magnetic flux density in the finishing area was also analyzed. A design of experiment was carried out with the following variables: abrasive grain concentration, width of the machining gap, and process duration. The results are presented in the form of regression equations and characteristics for selected roughness parameters.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of the spiral coil shape of inductive coupled power transfer on its performance. The coil shapes evaluated are: circular, square and pentagon spiral shapes. The coils are modelled in Ansoft Maxwell software. Simulations are carried out to determine the mutual inductance, coupling coefficient and magnetic flux density. The performance in term of magnetic flux density, mutual inductance and coupling coefficient of the three coils shapes are compared. Of the three shapes, the pentagon is shown to have the best performance in term of its mutual inductance, coupling coefficient and magnetic flux density.

In multi-pole permanent magnets (PMs) such a ring-type PMs, as multi-poles are magnetized in one segment, the ends of each pole are weakly magnetized, which is known as the dead zone. Thus, when analyzing characteristics of the motor with multi-pole PMs, accurate results can be obtained by considering the magnetization distribution. For this reason, this paper proposed an equivalent magnetic circuit (EMC) for external-rotor surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors (SPMSMs) considering the dead zone to analyze the effects of the dead zone on the characteristics of the motor. As the magnetization in the dead zone gradually decreases toward the end of the pole, the magnetization distribution is assumed to have a trapezoidal shape. To describe the magnetization distribution, each pole was divided into several elements, and the equivalent residual magnetic flux density was applied to the elements of the dead zone. Finally, the validity of the proposed EMC was verified by comparing the back electro-motive force and air-gap magnetic flux density obtained by the EMC, finite-element analysis, and test.

Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) is a non-destructive testing method used to inspect the pipe and magnetization of the pipe wall to saturation is essential for anomalies to be reliably and accurately detected and characterized. Axial components of magnetic flux density obtained during the MFL inspection have been simulated using three-dimensional finite element analysis and the effects of magnetizing exciter parameters on magnetic flux density are investigated. The pipe modeled in this paper has an outer diameter of 127mm (5 in.) with a wall thickness of 9 mm (0.354 in.). According to numerical simulations, an increase in the magnetic flux density of pipe wall is observed with an increase in the permanent magnet length and height. It clearly illustrates that Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet assembly with 70 mm length and 40 mm height may magnetize pipe wall to near saturation.

Magnetically-impelled arc butt-welding (MIAB) is a pressure-welding process. In this process, heat is generated prior to forging by an arc created between two clamped and aligned tubes. This arc rapidly rotates along the peripheral edges of the tubes to be welded due to the electromagnetic force resulting from the interaction of the arc current and the magnetic field in the gap. To be precise, the magnetic flux density is the significant parameter that governs the arc rotation and the weld quality. This paper presents a three-dimensional finite-element model to determine the magnetic flux density distribution in the MIAB welding process. The objective of this study is to perform a non-linear electromagnetic analysis using the finite-element package ANSYS, and to explore the interdependence of MIAB welding parameters such as gap size, exciting current in the coil, and coil position from the weld centre, which influence the electromagnetic force generated in the welding process and weld quality. The results of this analysis are verified with the available experimental data for steel tubes (outer diameter 50 mm and thickness 2 mm). The results obtained using finite-element analysis establish that the magnetic flux density distribution in the gap increases with increasing exciting current and decreasing gap size and coil position from the weld centre.
