In this paper, the 6-switch inverter for the Flux-Reversal Motor (FRM) has been presented and compared to the 4-switch inverter for the FRM, which is more popular in cost effective applications. To analyze the FRM, we adopted the two-dimensional time-stepped voltage source finite element method (FEM) that uses the actual pulse width modulation (PWM) voltage waveforms as the input data. As the FRM characteristic analysis of actual pwm voltage input, the torque ripples and iron losses (eddy current and hysteresis loss) of the FRM can be precisely calculated. With the simulated and experimental results, the performance and limitations of the 4-switch FRM which is the cost effective drive compared to the 6-switch FRM drive are provided in more detail.

The roll- and pitch-induced eddy currents create a magnetic field that contributes to the total magnetic signature of naval vessels. The magnetic signature is of concern, as it exposes the ship to the threat of modern influence mines. It is estimated that the eddy current is the second most important source contributing to a ship's underwater magnetic field following the ferromagnetic effect. In the present paper, the finite element (FE) method is used to predict the eddy current signature of a real ship. The FE model is validated using the measurements of the Canadian research vessel CFAV QUEST at the Earth's Field Simulator (EFS) in Schirnau, Germany. Modeling and validation of the eddy current magnetic signature for a real ship represents a novelty in the field. It is shown that the characteristics of this signature depend on frequency. Based on these results, a ship's degaussing system could be improved to cancel both the ferromagnetic and the eddy current contribution to the magnetic signature simultaneously, reducing the susceptibility to sea mines.

본 연구에서는 홀센서의 감도를 높이기 위해 사용되는 자속집속기의 두께, 홀소자와의 상대적 위치, 모서리 형상에 따르는 발생 자계를 유한요소법을 이용하여 계산하였다. 자속집속기의 두께가 얇을수록 발생 자계가 커지는 것을 알 수 있었고, 이 경향은 반자계를 고려한 겉보기 상대투자율의 두께의존성과 유사하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 홀소자와의 상대적 위치에 따라 최대의 자계를 발생시키는 자속집속기의 최적의 두께가 변화하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 자속집속기와 홀소자의 간격이 가까울 경우, 자속집속기의 모서리 형상에 경사가 없는 것이 유리하지만, 자속집속기와 홀소자의 간격이 멀어질수록 자속집속기의 모서리를 경사지게 하는 것이 유리하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

요골동맥의 운동에 대한 공간적 맥진파형 특징을 얻기 위해 2차원 배열 자기터널접합(magnetic tunnel junction; MTJ) 센서를 이용하여 공간 맥진파형 진단장치(spatial pulse diagnostic apparatus; SPDA)를 설계하였다. 자극배열의 위치변동에 대한자장 분포의 변화는 2차원 자기장 유한요소해석 소프트웨어(finite element method magnetics; FEMM)를 사용하여 모의실험을 하였다. 그 결과 평행한 자극배열에서 높은 감도와 균일한 자기장 분포를 얻을 수 있다. 또한 자석배열의 공간 변위 변화는 MTJ 센서의 출력신호 변화와 비례하였다.

This paper presents a 2-D analytical method to calculate the back EMF of the axial flux permanent magnet synchronous generator (AFPMSG) with coreless stator and dual rotor having magnets mounted on both sides of rotor yoke. Furthermore, in order to reduce the no load voltage total harmonics distortion (VTHD), the initial model of the coreless AFPMSG is optimized by using a developed analytical method. Optimization using the 2-D analytical method reduces the optimization time to less than a minute. The back EMF obtained by using the 2-D analytical method is verified by a time stepped 3-D finite element analysis (FEA) for both the initial and optimized model. Finally, the VTHD, output torque and torque ripples of both the initial and optimized models are compared with 3D-FEA. The result shows that the optimized model reduces the VTHD and torque ripples as compared to the initial model. Furthermore, the result also shows that output torque increases as the result of the optimization.

Although pretty methods have been proposed to reduce torque ripple, they generally suffer from the decreased torque density. This paper will investigate the spoke-type interior permanent magnet (IPM) machine with shaping methods, including the sinusoidal (SIN), the inverse cosine (ICS), the sinusoidal with third harmonic (SIN+3rd), and the inverse cosine with third harmonic (ICS+3rd). In order to obtain low torque ripple and high torque density, the shaping method applied in rotor and stator at the same time, termed as the dual-shaping method, is proposed. This method is analytically derived and further confirmed by finite element method (FEM). It turns out that the ICS and ICS+3rd shaping methods are more suitable for outer rotors, while the SIN and the SIN+3rd shaping method should be used in inner stators. The original machine, the singular shaped machines and the dual-shaped machines on electromagnetic performances are compared for evaluation. The results verify that the dual-shaping method can improve torque density, whilst reducing torque ripple.

평판형 전자기 엑츄에이터는 이동코일과 가이드 사이의 마찰이 없기 때문에 초정밀 제품에 널리 사용된다. 전자기 엑츄에이터의 성능 검증에 가장 많이 사용되는 방법 중 한 가지는 유한요소해석 방법이다. 하지만 유한요소해석 방법은 해석 시간이 많이든다는 단점이 있다. 유한요소해석 방법의 대안으로 계산시간은 짧지만 높은 정확도의 해석 결과를 도출해 낼 수 있는 집중매개 변수모델 해석방법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 평판형 전자기 엑츄에이터의 집중매개변수 모델링을 생성하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 성능을 검증하고 그 결과를 유한요소해석 결과와 비교해 본다.

This paper develops a moving-magnet electromagnetic actuator for fast steering mirror (FSM). The actuator achieves a reasonable compromise between voice coil actuator and piezoelectric actuator. The stroke of the actuator is between the strokes of a piezoelectric actuator and a voice coil actuator, and its force output is a linear function of air gap and excitation current within our FSM travel range. Additionally, the actuator is more reliable than voice coil actuator as the electrical connection in the actuator is static. Analytically modeling the actuator is difficult and time-consuming. Alternatively, numerous finite element simulations are carried out for the actuator analysis and design. According to the design results, a real prototype of the actuator is fabricated. An experimental test system is then built. Using the test system, the force output of the fabricated actuator is evaluated. The test results validate the actuator analysis and design.
