A rotating magnetic field (RMF) ${\Phi}_1-{\Phi}_2$ model was developed in consideration of the skin effect. The rotating magnetic field's induced three-dimensional flow was simulated numerically, and the influence of the skin effect was investigated. The rotating magnetic field drives the rotating convection in the azimuthal direction, and a secondary convection appears in the radial-meridional direction. The results indicate that ignoring the skin effect results in a smaller azimuthal velocity component and larger radial and axial velocity components, and that the deviation becomes more obvious with the larger dimensionless shielding parameter K.

A novel zero voltage switching (ZVS) phase shift full bridge (PSFB) converter used in geophysical exploration is proposed in this paper. To extend the ZVS ranges and increase power density of the converter, external inductor acting as leakage inductance is applied and integrated into the integrated magnetic (IM) transformer with separated secondary winding. Moreover, the loss of ZVS PSFB converter is also decreased. Besides, the analysis and accurate prediction methodology of the leakage inductance of the IM transformer are proposed, which are based on magnetic energy and Lebedev. Finally, to verify the accuracy of analysis and methodology, the experimental and finite element analysis (FEA) results of IM transformer and 40 kW converter prototypes are given.

In this study, quarter vehicle model is used to analyse vibration control effects for ride comfort and handling safety according to this three kinds of control methods, which are the modal control, the sky-hook control and the linear viscous damping control. We performed theoretical analysis and experiments and compared two results. In experiments, electro-magnetic actuator was employed as a force actuator. It is shown that all three methods can effectively control the vehicle model. The modal control method gives similar control results using gain less than the viscous damping control.

In this paper, we design the state feedback gain using linear matrix inequality(LMI) to the multiobjective synthesis, in the magnetic bearing system with integral type servo system. The design objectives can be a H$\_$$\infty$/ performance, asymptotic disturbance rejection, time-domain constraints, on the closed-lnp pole location. To the end, we investigated the validity of the designed controller through results of simulation.

This paper presents a two-paralleled four quadrant DC chopper type PWM power conversion circuit in order to generate a gradient magnetic field in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system. This circuit has 8-IGBTs at their inputs/outputs to realize further high-power density, high speed current tracking control, and to get a low switching ripple amplitude in a controlled current in the Gradient Coils (GCs). Moreover, the power conversion circuit has to realize quick rise/fall response characteristics in proportion to various target currents in GCs. It is proposed in this paper that a unique control scheme can achieve the above objective DSP-based control system realize a high control facility and accuracy. It is proved that the new control system will greatly enlarge the diagnostic target and improve the image quality of MRI.

This paper presents a general analytical method for predicting the magnetic fields of different Halbach magnet arrays with or without back iron mounted on slotless permanent magnet (PM) linear machines. By using Fourier decomposition, the magnetization components of four typical Halbach magnet arrays are determined. By applying special synthetic boundary conditions on the PM surfaces, the expressions of their magnetic field distributions are derived based on the magnetic scalar potential (MSP), which are simpler than those based on the magnetic vector potential (MVP). The correctness of the method is validated by finite element analysis. The harmonics of airgap flux density waveforms of these Halbach magnet arrays with or without back iron are also compared and optimized.

The magnetic levitation system is utilized in the magnetic bearing of high-speed rotor because of little friction, no lubrication, no noise and so on. The magnetic levitation system need the feedback controller for the stabilization of system, and gap sensors are generally used to measure the gap. The use of gap sensors brings out the increase of the number of troublesome, and the decrease of the control performance because of the dislocation between the measurement point and the control point. This paper presents the design of the gap estimation circuit for the sensorless method proposed by authors in the magnetic levitation system. We made the gap estimation circuit which was composed of both the superposition circuit and the measuring circuit. And we investigated the validity of the usefulness of the proposed sensorless method in the magnetic levitation system through results of actual experiment.

In the paper, we propose a design method for the logistics transportation system using magnetic levitation that has a good characteristics without mechanical friction, noise and dust. The proposed transportation system consists of a levitation control system and a propulsion control system. Magnetic levitation system is an electromagnetic suspension system in which electromagnet generates magnetic attractive force and the attractive force pulls the rail. We design a PID controller for the current control of electromagnets. We use linear induction motors for propulsion of the proposed logistics transportation system and adapt the space vector PWM method for the propulsion control system. The proposed transportation system using magnetic levitation is verified performances through levitation and propulsion experiments.

In this study, application feasibility of Magneto-rheological elastomer to friction control is investigated to identify the reciprocating friction and wear performance in applied magnetic field. Friction and wear of MR elastomerare measured by reciprocating tester by controlling the magnetic field. In the case of applied magnetic field, the coefficient of friction increases as both load and velocity increase. For the case of no magnetic field, the value of coefficient of friction hardly changes during the test. The amount of destruction is measured through cross section images of MR elastomer after tests. The depths of destruction are compared for MR elastomer with or without magnetic field. The results show that the depth of destruction of MR elastomer with magnetic field is deeper than without magnetic field. Based on the obtained results, optimal braking and driving performance can be achieved by controlling the coefficient of friction of MR elastomer, which can be applied to various industrial applications such as driving systems of automobiles and robots.

Minimum-time attitude maneuvers of three-axis stabilized spacecraft are presented to study the feasibility of using three magnetic torquers perform large angle maneuvers. Previous applications of magnetic torquers have been limited to spin-stabilized satellites or supplemental actuators of three axis stabilized satellites because of the capability of magnetic torquers to produce torques about a specific axes. The minimum-time attitude maneuver problem is solved by applying a parameter optimization method for orbital cases to verify that the magnetic torque system can perform as required. Direct collocation and a nonlinear programming method with a constraining method by Simpson's rule are used to convert the minimum-time maneuver problems into parameter optimization problems. An appropriate number of nodes is presented to find a bang-bang type solution to the minimum-time problem. Some modifications in the boundary conditions of final attitude are made to solve the problem more robustly and efficiently. The numerical studies illustrate that the presented method can provide a capable and robust attitude reorientation by using only magnetic torquers. However, the required maneuver times are relatively longer than when thrusters or wheels are used. Performance of the system in the presence of errors in the magnetometer as well as the geomagnetic field model still good.
