Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The research programme is concerned with advanced design and analysis techniques for fast-acting, short stroke linear electromagnetic actuators. Specific issues which are addressed are the incorporation of magnetic hysteresis effects and complex mechanical models into an existing dynamic coupled circuit/transient field simulation package. The utility of employing the developed techniques will be demonstrated by two case studies, supported by experimental validation, on the deisgn of a solenoid actuator and permanent magnet polarised actuator to meet demanding specifications. Particular emphasis will be placed on establishing the relationship between the various design parameters and the magnetic material properities kon the overall system dynamic performance, in order to generate guidelines for design and material selection.
