This study aims to enhance the low-frequency induction heating (LFIH) effect in a thermoplastic polymer doped with iron oxide magnetic particles, which are promising candidates for several medical applications thanks to their confirmed biocompatibility. Two main approaches were proposed to successfully boost the heating ability; i.e., improving the magnetic concentration of the composite with higher filler content of 30 wt %, and doubling the frequency excitation after optimization of the inductor design. To test the magnetic properties of the ferromagnetic composite, a measurement of permeability as a function of temperature, frequency, and particle content was carried out. Thermal transfer based COMSOL simulations together with experimental tests have been performed, demonstrating feasibility of the proposed approach to significantly enhance the target temperature in a magnetic composite. These results are encouraging and confirmed that IH can be exploited in medical applications, especially for the treatment of varicose veins where local heating remains a true challenge.

AbstractAn extended state observer (ESO)-based loop filter is designed for the phase-locked loop (PLL) involved in a disturbed grid-connected converter (GcC). This ESO-based design enhances the performances and robustness of the PLL, and, therefore, improves control performances of the disturbed GcCs. Besides, the ESO-based LF can be applied to PLLs with extra filters for abnormal grid conditions. The unbalanced grid is particularly taken into account for the performance analysis. A tuning approach based on the well-designed PI controller is discussed, which results in a fair comparison with conventional PI-type PLLs. The frequency domain properties are quantitatively analysed with respect to the control stability and the noises rejection. The frequency domain analysis and simulation results suggest that the performances of the generated ESO-based controllers are comparable to those of the PI control at low frequency, while have better ability to attenuate high-frequency measurement noises. The phase margin decreases slightly, but remains acceptable. Finally, experimental tests are conducted with a hybrid power hardware-in-the-loop benchmark, in which balanced/unbalanced cases are both explored. The obtained results prove the effectiveness of ESO-based PLLs when applied to the disturbed GcC.

We investigate the vibrational resonance by the numerical simulation and theoretical analysis in an overdamped system with fractional order potential nonlinearities. The nonlinearity is a fractional power function with deflection, in which the response amplitude presents vibrational resonance phenomenon for any value of the fractional exponent. The response amplitude of vibrational resonance at low-frequency is deduced by the method of direct separation of slow and fast motions. The results derived from the theoretical analysis are in good agreement with those of numerical simulation. The response amplitude decreases with the increase of the fractional exponent for weak excitations. The amplitude of the high-frequency excitation can induce the vibrational resonance to achieve the optimal response amplitude. For the overdamped systems, the nonlinearity is the crucial and necessary condition to induce vibrational resonance. The response amplitude in the nonlinear system is usually not larger than that in the corresponding linear system. Hence, the nonlinearity is not a sufficient factor to amplify the response to the low-frequency excitation. Furthermore, the resonance may be also induced by only a single excitation acting on the nonlinear system. The theoretical analysis further proves the correctness of the numerical simulation. The results might be valuable in weak signal processing.
