Permanent magnet coupling is extensively studied owing to its economic efficiency and stability. In this study, a computational model for cylindrical permanent magnet coupling (CPMC) was designed using the magnetic field division method to divide an air gap magnetic field. An equivalent magnetic circuit model was also designed based on the equivalent magnetic circuit method. The novelty of this study is that both the skin effect and the working point of the permanent magnet are taken into consideration to obtain the magnetic circuit and induce eddy current characteristics of permanent magnet coupling. Furthermore, a computational model was obtained for the transmission torque of the CPMC based on the principles of Faraday’s and Ampere’s laws. Additionally, the accuracy of the model was verified using a finite element simulation model and a test bench.

The prediction of the magnetic field is a prerequisite to investigate the motor performance. This paper focuses on the magnetic field estimation of surface-mounted permanent-magnet (SMPM) motors based on two approximations, i.e., the magnetic circuit analysis and the finite-element analysis (FEA). An equivalent magnetic circuit model is applied to analytically evaluate the magnetic field of a SMPM motor with exterior-rotor configuration. The two-dimensional FEA is then applied to numerically calculate the magnetic field and to verify the validity of the magnetic circuit model. The results show that the errors between the analytical predictions and FEA results are less than 6%. It is of benefit to further design purposes and optimization of SMPM motors.

Purpose This paper aims to present an analytical method, which combines the complex permeance (CP) and the superposition concept, to predict the air-gap magnetic field distribution in surface-mounted permanent-magnet (SMPM) machines with eccentric air-gap. Design/methodology/approach The superposition concept is used twice; first, to predict the magnetic field distribution in slot-less machine with eccentric air-gap, the machine is divided into a number of sections. Then, for each section, an equivalent air-gap length is determined, and the magnetic field distribution is predicted as a concentric machine model. The air-gap field in the slot-less machine with eccentricity can be combined from these concentric models. Second, the superposition concept is used to find the CP under eccentricity fault. At this end, the original machine is divided into a number of sections which may be different from the one for slot-less magnetic field prediction, and for each section, the CP is obtained by equivalent air-gap length of that section. Finally, the air-gap magnetic field distribution is predicted by multiplying the slot-less magnetic field distribution and the obtained CP. Findings The radial and tangential components of the air-gap magnetic flux density are obtained using the proposed method analytically. The finite element analysis is used to validate the proposed method results, showing good agreements with the analytical results. Originality/value This paper addresses the eccentricity fault impact upon the air-gap magnetic field distribution of SMPM machines. This is done by a combined analysis of the complex permeance (CP) method and the superposition concept. This contrasts to previous studies which have instead focused on the subdomain method.

The emerging global wave energy industry has great potential to contribute to the world’s energy needs. However, one of the key challenges in designing a wave energy converter (WEC) is the wave energy generator. Thus, this paper focuses on the optimal design of a cylindrical permanent magnet linear generator (CPMLG), which is used for the wave energy conversion system. To reduce the end effect and enhance the magnetic field performance of the CPMLG, the level-set method is applied to the design of the topology and size for the generator. In the paper, the objective air gap magnetic field is given by the mathematical analysis method and appropriate measuring points are predetermined. The measuring points can fully reflect the distribution characteristics of the air gap magnetic field. Then, topology evolution on the permanent magnet (PM) and yoke based on the level-set method are performed. The level set function corresponding to the initial shape of the PM is constructed. The algorithm is programmed and computed iteratively using the discrete time and space variables. Finally, the performances of the CPMLG with the updated PM and width of yoke are analyzed by ANSYS Maxwell. Results show that the magnetic field distortion and the unbalance of three-phase electromotive force (EMF) of the CPMLG is reduced by the optimization of the level-set method. It has also been verified that the designed CPMLG with the level-set method could be used for WEC at different wave conditions.

To solve the conflict between separation space and magnetic field intensity, an original magnetic circuit structure system of permanent magnet magnetic filter is designed by utilizing multi-dimensional magnet extrusion technologies, with multi-block NdFeB magnets of different structures and magnetization directions. The inside diameter of the ring magnets and ring soft iron is taken as separating space. To inspect the distribution of the magnetic field characteristics of magnetic circuit system, mathematical model is established, and the designed magnetic circuit system is simulated, taking advantage of the electromagnetic software Magnet. The simulation results show that a larger separating space and higher background magnetic density can be achieved simultaneously by means of the organic magnetic circuit system design, when the thickness of ring soft iron is 4mm and the diameter ratio (outside diameter to the diameter) of ring magnets is 10/3. The highest magnetic induction intensity of 29.2 mm separating space is 1.5T, which provides the basis for permanent magnet magnetic circuit design.

The magnetorheological (MR) damper uses magnetorheological fluid which, when subjected to magnetic stimuli, generates an increase of damping forces. A significant problem of these dampers is their poor failsafe ability due to power supply interruption. In the case of faults, the damper remains in a low damping state, which is dangerous. This problem can be solved by accommodating a permanent magnet in the magnetic circuit of the damper. However, the magnetic circuit dynamic of this type of damper has rarely been studied. The main aim of this paper is to introduce the magnetic circuit dynamics of the magnetorheological damper/control valve with a permanent magnet. Firstly, the design of the magnetorheological valve with NdFe42 permanent magnet in the magnetic circuit is introduced. The response time of the magnetic field on the unit step of the control signal was calculated by transient magnetic simulation in Ansys Electronics software. The response time of the magnetic field was simulated in the range of 1.2 to 5 ms depending on the electric current magnitude and orientation. The presented MR damper was manufactured and tested. The experiments prove that the permanent magnet significantly affects the dynamics of the magnetic circuit.

Generally, the magnetic field applied to a magnetorheological fluid (MRF) is generated by electromagnets. Electromagnets consume electric power during MRF magnetization, which is an issue. In this study, we examine two kinds of magnetizing mechanism using a permanent magnet, instead of electromagnets, to save electric power and generate a magnetic field on the MRF. One mechanism linearly moves the permanent magnet into the magnetic circuit composed of yokes. The magnetic field intensity on the MRF is then controlled by changing the overlap between the magnet and the yokes. The other mechanism rotates a permanent magnet in the magnetic circuit. The magnetic field intensity on the MRF is then controlled by changing the relative angular position between the magnet and the yokes. These two mechanisms normally generate force or torque on the magnet toward a magnetically stable position concerning the magnet, and the force or torque causes power consumption to hold and move the magnet. We design herein special magnetic circuits and a cancelation mechanism for the force or torque that drastically reduce the power consumption during the MRF magnetization compared with an electromagnet-type magnetizing device.

This paper proposes a computation method using the equivalent magnetic circuit to analyze the driving force for the non-contact permanent magnet linear drive system. In this device, the magnetic driving force is related to the rotation angle of driving wheels. The relationship is verified by finite element analysis and measuring experiments. The result of finite element simulation is in good agreement with the model established by the equivalent magnetic circuit. Then experiments of displacement control are carried out to test the dynamic characteristic of this system. The controller of the system adopts the combination control of displacement and angle. The results indicate that the system has good performance in steady-state error and response speed, while the maximum overshoot needs to be reduced.

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.

The paper presents research on magnetic field exciters dedicated to testing magnetocaloric materials (MCMs) as well as used in the design process of magnetic refrigeration systems. An important element of the proposed test stand is the system of magnetic field excitation. It should provide a homogeneous magnetic field with a controllable value of its intensity in the MCM testing region. Several concepts of a magnetic circuit when designing the field exciters have been proposed and evaluated. In the MCM testing region of the proposed exciters, the magnetic field is controlled by changing the structure of the magnetic circuit. A precise 3D field model of electromagnetic phenomena has been developed in the professional finite element method (FEM) package and used to design and analyze the exciters. The obtained results of the calculations of the magnetic field distribution in the working area were compared with the results of the measurements carried out on the exciter prototype. The conclusions resulting from the conducted research are presented and discussed.
