A measuring system for magnetostriction of silicon steel sheet using optical methods and a single sheet tester has been developed to establish a standard test method for IEC and JIS. Various factors affecting measurement accuracy and reproducibility of the developed system are examined. Two optical instruments, such as a laser Doppler vibrometer and a heterodyne displacement meter, are compared. 3-D characteristics of magnetostriction under ac excitation in the rolling direction are measured up to 2.0 T

Due to structural limitation, the currently proposed apparatus based on a single sheet tester (SST) cannot measure magnetic properties along arbitrary directions (so-called 2-D magnetic properties) of silicon steel at high flux densities. In this paper, significant improvements are carried out on magnetizing windings and auxiliary yokes of a double excitation type of SST. Furthermore, crosswise overlapped H-coils are introduced so that even an ordinary single-excitation type of SST can be applicable to the measurements of 2-D properties. It is demonstrated that 2-D magnetization property up to 1.9 T can be measured by using the newly developed SST's

A single sheet tester having closed magnetic path (a closed type of SST) has a problem that measurement accuracy of magnetostriction is considerably affected by electromagnetic force between specimen and yoke. Therefore, an open type has been developed. In order to get uniform flux distribution in a sufficiently large region, a compensating magnetizing winding is installed, and a method of waveform control is investigated, in which applied voltages to main and compensating windings are adjusted individually. The effectiveness of the newly developed open type is demonstrated by measuring magnetostrictions of thin amorphous sheet as well as highly grain-oriented silicon steel sheet

A modeling technique of the minor loop using typical hysteresis loops is shown. The effect of the minor loop and eddy current in the pole piece of a permanent magnet type of MRI on the residual flux density of the probe coil is examined. It is illustrated that the change ΔB of residual flux density occurs due to the minor loop of the pole piece. It is also pointed out that the choice of time interval Δt is important in a nonlinear analysis considering the minor loop

The minor loops of B and H of steel due to pulse excitation and eddy currents induced in steel affect the magnetic characteristics of a permanent-magnet-type MRI. In this paper, the magnetic properties of a permanent magnet assembly is examined by using the finite-element method taking into account minor loop. The distribution of residual magnetization in the yoke is illustrated, and the effect of residual magnetization on the behavior of residual flux density is examined. It is shown that the behavior of B and H in minor loops is affected by the eddy currents in the yoke and pole piece.

Summary form only given. The flux distribution of a permanent magnet type of MRI shown in Fig.1 is affected by the hysteresis (minor loop) and eddy currents in the pole piece and yoke due to the pulse current (Fig.2) of the gradient coil. In this paper, the effects of the hysteresis and the eddy current in the yoke on the residual flux density of the probe coil are investigated. It can be assumed that the eddy current does not flow in the pole piece because it is divided into pieces. The eddy current flows in the yoke. Fig.3 shows the change of residual flux density /spl Delta/B/sub z/ at the point S(0,0) in Fig.1. /spl Delta/B/sub z/ is given by /spl Delta/B/sub z/=B/sub z1/-B/sub z0/ (1), where B/sub z0/ is the flux density at the instant t=0(I=0A). B/sub z1/ is the flux density at the instant t=i(I=0A). The instant of 1,2,3,... in Fig.2 corresponds to 1,2,3,... in Fig.3. Fig.3 shows that the hysteresis in the pole piece and yoke should be taken into account. The effect of eddy current in the yoke on the residual flux density /spl Delta/B/sub z/ is not negligible. These results suggests that the reduction of the amplitudes of minor loop and eddy current is important in order to improve the operating characteristics of the permanent magnet type of MRI.

An improved T-Ω method that can analyze magnetic fields produced not only by eddy currents but also by magnetizing currents is proposed. The method is applied to the analysis of 3-D eddy-current models with holes. The usefulness of the method is investigated by comparing calculated results with measured results and with results obtained by the A-Φ method. The T-Ω method has the advantage that the CPU time can be considerably reduced when most of the analyzed region is current-free and the eddy current flows two-dimensionally. The method is especially effective when the shape of the winding is simple and the distribution of magnetizing current is known beforehand. It is not effective when most of the analyzed region is current-carrying

A benchmark problem has been proposed by the Storage Research Consortium (SRC) in Japan, for evaluating the applicability of computer codes to 3-D nonlinear eddy current analysis of thin film magnetic recording write head. Various codes using the finite element method are compared in terms of the write head field and the computational efficiency. The difficulty in 3-D mesh generation of thin film head is also discussed. The write head fields calculated by various codes using different meshes show fairly good agreement. The calculated write head fields are verified by measurement using a stroboscopic electron beam tomography. It is found that the calculation time strongly depends on unknown variables

A three-dimensional finite element method using the A-φ formulation for analyzing time-periodic nonlinear magnetic fields with eddy currents has been developed. The CPU time of this method can be reduced to below that of the conventional step-by-step method, because the new method calculates the time-periodic phenomena directly, not through the transient phenomena. The finite element discretization of the method is described in detail. As an example of application, a loaded transformer is analyzed

The effects of the leakage flux, eddy current path, and end coil of electric machines on the flux and eddy current density analyzed by the 2-D approximation are investigated systematically by making a comparison with 3-D analysis. It is shown that, when the gap length is relatively large, the difference between the fluxes calculated by 2-D and 3-D analyses is pronounced due to the leakage flux. The flux in the pole obtained by 3-D analysis is larger than that obtained by 2-D analysis under constant current excitation, and the flux obtained by 3-D analysis is less than that obtained by 2-D analysis under constant voltage excitation. When the eddy current flows in the thin core, a larger error occurs in the 2-D analysis, because there is a great difference in eddy current paths between 2-D and 3-D models

Recently, the increase of areal recording density is remarkable. In order to develop a high density recording device, a read/write (R/W) simulation using three dimensional (3-D) magnetic field analysis is indispensable. In this paper, the magnetic field in a cusp-field single-pole-type (CF-SPT) head with discrete track media is analyzed using a 3-D R/W simulation system, in which edge-based finite element method and 3-D medium hysteresis model based on the ensemble of the Stoner-Wohlfarth (SW) particles are combined. The effects of ampereturns and the discrete track media on the distribution of recorded magnetization are investigated. The detailed behavior of flux around the discrete track media and continuous media is illustrated.

The alternating magnetic flux leakage testing is used for the detection of cracks in a steel plate. A new technique of how to detect plural cracks, which are located at a very short distance from each other, using the parallel (x-) component of the leakage flux density is proposed. The behavior of leakage flux is examined using a three-dimensional edge-based hexahedral finite-element method. The effects of dimensions of search coils and cracks on the detection accuracy are illustrated.

Methods of analyzing magnetic fields in rotating machines using nonconforming meshes, in which only an interpolation technique is applied, are investigated. The effect of the continuity of potentials at nonconforming surfaces on accuracy is examined, it is shown that although the flux distribution is not affected by the discontinuity of the potential, the force and torque are fairly affected by the discontinuity. Therefore, it is shown that a continuous method, or a discontinuous method using a fine mesh should be used especially in force and torque calculation. An analysis of an induction motor is also carried out using a nonconforming mesh

By using the automatic 3-D mesh generation technique using hexahedral elements, which is applicable when design variables are changed in x-, y- and z-directions, a transformer tank shield model is optimized. The volume of tank shield can be considerably reduced by using the Rosenbrock's method (RBM) compared with the previous result having design variables in one direction. It is shown that the determination of initial values for RBM using the experimental design method (EDM) is indispensable for the practical application of the optimization method to obtain a desired result within an acceptable CPU time

Summary form only given. An inner magnetic shield (IMS) is set inside a cathode ray tube (CRT) to reduce the disturbance from outside of the CRT, such as geomagnetism. The eddy current induced in the IMS due to the changing current in the deflection coil may affect the flux distribution in the CRT. The eddy current is also induced in the electron gun when coils for velocity modulation (VM) are set near the gun. Although the effect of the eddy current is important, reports about the analysis of this phenomenon are few. In this paper, the effect of the eddy current in the IMS and electron gun on flux distribution in the CRT is analyzed by using the 3-D finite element method.

Investigates the cause of quenching at the joint between a multifilamentary superconducting cable and a normal conducting cable. The 3D current distribution is analyzed. It is found that the cause of quenching is the extreme concentration of current in the joint due to the pronounced skin effect at liquid helium temperature. The mechanism of the concentration of current which is affected by the twist pitch and skin depth is also clarified quantitatively by numerical analysis

A technique for analyzing the magnetic field in anisotropic material using the effective anisotropic reluctivity proposed by Enokizono is examined. It is shown that the Enokizono model can be transformed into another model having a conventional form. By expanding the examination of such a conventional form, a new finite element formulation for taking account of the two-dimensional (2-D) magnetic property is proposed. As the modeling of the 2-D magnetic property at the high flux density region is important in the practical analysis of the magnetic device, the extrapolation method of the magnetic property is examined. It is shown that the Bezier interpolation is fairly effective to stabilize the convergence characteristic of the Newton-Raphson (N-R) iteration in the nonlinear magnetic field analysis, taking account of the 2-D magnetic property

It is troublesome and time consuming to treat a coil of complicated shape with optimization methods using edge elements, because the current vector potential in the coil of changed shape (changed mesh) should be calculated at each iteration of the optimization. In this paper, an effective optimal design method using the Biot-Savart method (As method) and the evolution strategy is investigated. As it is not necessary to generate a mesh for the coil by using the As method, the mesh becomes simple and, moreover, it is not necessary to calculate the current vector potential in the changed coil at each iteration in order to give the current vector potential in the coil. The usefulness of the proposed method is illustrated by applying it to the optimal design of a deflection coil for a cathode-ray tube

An efficient method, which is called the “inverse distribution function method”, for calculating the magnetic field strength H from the flux density B through the Preisach model is developed. By using the method, H can be directly obtained without iteration from B which is calculated by the usual FEM, with the magnetic vector potential as an unknown variable. The effects of the dimension n of the inverse distribution function on the CPU time and the memory requirements are investigated through a numerical example by increasing the dimension n of the inverse distribution function. It is shown that the additional CPU time for taking account of hysteresis is negligible when n is less than about 200

NdFeB sintered magnets are widely used in rotating electrical machines. In order to develop an efficient rotating machine, it is important to estimate ac loss of the permanent magnet of rotor precisely. In this paper, the ac losses of the permanent magnet of IEEJ model (surface permanent-magnet motor model) are examined by using the three-dimensional finite-element method taking into account the newly measured hysteresis losses of permanent magnet. The result shows that we should consider not only the eddy-current loss but also the hysteresis loss, when the frequency of ac field due to a slot ripple is of the order of several hundred hertz.

It is necessary to develop a write head having a large recording field and small stray field in adjacent tracks and adjacent bits in perpendicular magnetic recording systems. In this paper, a practical three-dimensional topology optimization technique combined with the edge-based finite-element method is proposed. A technique for obtaining a smooth topology is also shown. The optimization of single-pole-type head having a magnetic shield is performed by using the topology optimization technique so that the leakage flux in the adjacent bit can be reduced. A useful shape of the magnetic shield obtained by the proposed technique is illustrated.

Due to structural limitation, the currently proposed apparatus based on a single sheet tester (SST) cannot measure magnetic properties along arbitrary directions (so-called 2-D magnetic properties) of silicon steel at high flux densities. In this paper, significant improvements are carried out on magnetizing windings and auxiliary yokes of a double excitation type of SST. Furthermore, crosswise overlapped H-coils are introduced so that even an ordinary single-excitation type of SST can be applicable to the measurements of 2-D properties. It is demonstrated that 2-D magnetization property up to 1.9 T can be measured by using the newly developed SST's

The alternating magnetic flux leakage testing has been applied in the nondestructive inspection process for detecting cracks on the surface of steel. This paper describes numerical analysis using three-dimensional (3-D) edge-based hexahedral finite element method for this testing. The necessity of nonlinear analysis is clarified in comparison with the linear analysis (jω method). The characteristic of leakage flux is confirmed by verification experiment. The possibility of distinguishing two cracks is examined by calculating the detailed distribution of leakage flux around cracks

The evaluation method of stray field loss of engineering oriented loss model (TEAM Workshop Problem 21) is investigated. It is shown that the nonlinear eddy current analysis is obligatory in order to investigate the eddy current loss in the steel plate, because the flux and eddy current in steel are affected by the permeability of the plate. The hysteresis loss in such a steel plate having a substantial skin effect is not negligible, even if the flux density in air is small

The physical meaning of the gradφ in the A-φ method is investigated in order to determine when it can be safely neglected in order to reduce computation time. The relationship between eddy current distribution and gradφ and the effects of boundary conditions on gradφ are examined for several 2-D examples. It is shown that gradφ in 2-D analysis is a constant that modifies the interlinkage flux of the conductor, which is denoted by the magnetic vector potential A

The eddy current induced in an inner magnetic shield (IMS) and an electron gun affect the flux distribution of a cathode ray tube, causing a possible degrade of picture quality. In this paper, the effect of the distance between an IMS and a deflection coil on the eddy-current distribution is examined. The eddy current induced in the electron gun, when the coils for velocity modulation (VM) are set near the electron gun, is also analyzed. It is found that the variation of flux distribution is mainly affected by the shape of VM coil.

The alternating magnetic flux leakage testing is used for the detection of cracks in a steel plate. A new technique of how to detect plural cracks, which are located at a very short distance from each other, using the parallel (x-) component of the leakage flux density is proposed. The behavior of leakage flux is examined using a three-dimensional edge-based hexahedral finite-element method. The effects of dimensions of search coils and cracks on the detection accuracy are illustrated.

A single sheet tester having closed magnetic path (a closed type of SST) has a problem that measurement accuracy of magnetostriction is considerably affected by electromagnetic force between specimen and yoke. Therefore, an open type has been developed. In order to get uniform flux distribution in a sufficiently large region, a compensating magnetizing winding is installed, and a method of waveform control is investigated, in which applied voltages to main and compensating windings are adjusted individually. The effectiveness of the newly developed open type is demonstrated by measuring magnetostrictions of thin amorphous sheet as well as highly grain-oriented silicon steel sheet

In order to process a semiconductor device of high quality, uniform heating is necessary, but it is not easy to heat uniformly with conventional induction heating equipment. To solve this problem, zone control induction heating equipment has been jointly developed. In this paper, we examine the effect of dividing an induction heater into several small coil groups having different current and frequency, using the finite-element method. We describe the heating characteristics of the zone control coil groups and show that nearly uniform heating is possible by controlling both current and frequency.

It is necessary to develop a write head having a large recording field and small stray field in adjacent tracks and adjacent bits in perpendicular magnetic recording systems. In this paper, a practical three-dimensional topology optimization technique combined with the edge-based finite-element method is proposed. A technique for obtaining a smooth topology is also shown. The optimization of single-pole-type head having a magnetic shield is performed by using the topology optimization technique so that the leakage flux in the adjacent bit can be reduced. A useful shape of the magnetic shield obtained by the proposed technique is illustrated.

In this paper, the effects of core constructions, joint configurations, magnetizing characteristics of materials on the flux distributions are examined using newly developed techniques such as a gap element, an approximate method for solving three-dimensional magnetic fields, the time periodicity finite element method, an efficient technique for treating hysteresis characteristics and so on. A method for the optimum design of transformer cores is also discussed. Main results obtained can be summarized as follows: (a) The building factor of the core made of higely-oriented silicon steel is larger than that of the conventional core. (b) The iron losses at joints are much affected by overlap lengths, number of laminations per stagger layer and a small irregularity of the arrangement of sheets. (c) It is clarified that examinations of the optimum construction of core and the most desirable magnetic characteristics of core material are possible using the finite element method. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=NakataTakayoshi kn-aut-sei=Nakata kn-aut-mei=Takayoshi aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=TakahashiNorio kn-aut-sei=Takahashi kn-aut-mei=Norio aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=14 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=15 end-page=28 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1979 dt-pub=19791201 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Iron Losses of Silicon Steel due to Rotating Fluxes (Inclined Rotating Flux and Distorted One) en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Characteristics of iron losses in silicon steel due to inclined rotating fluxes and distorted ones are described. Iron losses due to rotating fluxes have been measured at various conditions for grain-oriented and non-oriented silicon steels by using an improved thermistor-bridge method. Loss measurements indicate that the iron loss due to the inclined rotating flux is greater than that due to the non-inclined one. However, the iron loss due to the distorted rotating flux is not always greater than that due to the non-distorted one. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=IshiharaYoshiyuki kn-aut-sei=Ishihara kn-aut-mei=Yoshiyuki aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=TakahashiNorio kn-aut-sei=Takahashi kn-aut-mei=Norio aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical Engineering END
