This paper presents the materials analysis for combination of working modes of Magnetorheological (MR) damper. The materials were selected based on the optimum magnetic field strength at the effective areas in order to obtain a better design of MR damper. The design of electromagnetic circuit is one of the critical criteria in designing MR dampers besides the working mechanism and the types of MR damper. The increase in the magnetic field strength is an indication of the improvement in the damping performance of the MR damper. Eventually, the experimental test was performed under quasi-static loading to observe the performances of MR damper in shear mode, squeeze mode and mixed mode. The results showed that the increment of forces was obtained with the increased current due to higher magnetic flux density generated by electromagnetic coils. In general, it can be summarized that the combination of modes generates higher forces than single mode for the same experimental parameters throughout the study.

In this paper, electromagnetic forces acting on the rotor surface of a BLDC motor for hard disk drive are calculated by the finite element field analysis. The frequency characteristics of torque ripple, local force and unbalanced magnetic force as a source of mechanical vibration area analyzed. Ring-type permanent magnets for the brushless DC motor are apt to have different magnetization levels at each pole because of the unbalanced air gap between the magnet surface and the magnetizer fixture during the multi-poles magnetizing process. This paper discusses the effect of the unsymmetric magnetization distribution in the permanent magnet on the brushless DC motor performances. As a result, the unbalanced magnetic force acting on the rotor surface and the torque ripple are examined for the motor with an unsymmetric magnetization distribution, and compared with those of an ideally symmetric motor.

Graphene Nanosheets play an important role in nanosensors due to their proper surface to volume ratio. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to consider the nonlinear vibration behavior of graphene nanosheets (GSs) under the influence of electromagnetic fields and electrical current create forces. Considering more realistic assumptions, new equations have been proposed to study the nonlinear vibration behavior of the GSs carrying electrical current and placed in magnetic field. For this purpose, considering the influences of the magnetic tractions created by electrical and eddy currents, new relationships for electromagnetic interaction forces with these nanosheets have been proposed. Nonlinear coupled equations are discretized by Galerkin method, and then solved via Runge-Kutta method. The effect of different parameters such as size effect, electrical current magnitude and magnetic field intensity on the vibration characteristics of GSs is investigated. The results show that the magnetic field increases the linear natural frequency, and decreases the nonlinear natural frequency of the GSs. Excessive increase of the magnetic field causes instability in the GSs.

Electromagnetic forming(EMF) is one of the high-speed forming methods, and has been used to deform metal sheets. The advantages of electromagnetic forming are reduced wrinkling due to non-contact characteristic and fine formability because of the high speed impact. In the current study, we suggest the application of electromagnetic forming to emboss pattern shapes using electromagnetic forces with only one forming coil and one punch. The high impact of the sheet at speeds of 100~300m/s produces significant coining pressure. In the current paper, electromagnetic forming was applied to Al 1100-O sheets; with thickness of 1.27mm and an area of $40mm{\times}40mm$. Using a single spiral coil, totally different types of patterns were created. Four different patterns were successfully produced on the aluminum sheet. The length and depth of the patterns were measured by three-dimensional scanning. Comparisons to the die shape showed good agreement. The test results confirm that emboss pattern forming by EMF using a single die can be used to replace the costly conventional method.

Effects of electromagnetic force which is one of the most important factor of metal transfer that affects bead geometry and microstructure of weld metal in GMAW(gas metal arc welding). In this paper, different ways of external electromagnetic forces were applied on GMAW process and their effects on the welding were studied. On certain conditions, better bead geometry, better influence on the arc and metal transfer mode and higher welding efficiency could be obtained. Experimental methods and their results will be presented.

An electromagnetic excitation force is caused by the air-gap flux density, which greatly influences the noise and vibration of the motor. In many real projects, skewed slot technology is widely used to reduce the harmonic components of the air-gap flux density to reduce the noise and vibration of the motor. However, a skewed slot has several side effects such as a transverse current and axial drifting. Thus, a double skewed slot rotor is selected with the aim of eliminating these side effects. This paper presents the exact structure of the double skewed slot rotor and the mechanism whereby the electromagnetic excitation force can be reduced. A multi-slice method is adopted to model the special structure. Finite element simulation is used to verify the theory.

Liquid alloy systems have a high degree of thermal conductivity, far superior to ordinary nonmetallic liquids and inherent high densities and electrical conductivities. This results in the use of these materials for specific heat conducting and dissipation applications for the nuclear and space sectors. Uniquely, they can be used to conduct heat and electricity between nonmetallic and metallic surfaces. The motion of liquid metals in strong magnetic fields generally induces electric currents, which, while interacting with the magnetic field, produce electromagnetic forces. Electromagnetic pumps exploit the fact that liquid metals are conducting fluids capable of carrying currents, which is a source of electromagnetic fields useful for pumping and diagnostics. The coupling between the electromagnetics and thermo-fluid mechanical phenomena and the determination of its geometry and electrical configuration, gives rise to complex engineering magnetohydrodynamics problems. The development of tools to model, characterize, design, and build liquid metal thermomagnetic systems for space, nuclear, and industrial applications are of primordial importance and represent a cross-cutting technology that can provide unique design and development capabilities as well as a better understanding of the physics behind the magneto-hydrodynamics of liquid metals. First studies for the development of computational tools for the design of liquid metal electromagnetic pumps are discussed.

This paper proposes a method to calculate magnetostrictive forces, displacement, and vibration modes of a large-scale Brushless DC(BLDC) motor by using a magneto-mechanically strong coupling formulation. The force is calculated using the energy method with magnetostrictive stress tensor. The mechanical vibration modes are also analyzed by using the principle of Hamilton and the calculated magneto-elastic forces acting on the surfaces of the stator. To verify the algorithm, 3 MW BLDC motor is simulated, and the forces, displacements, and vibration modes are calculated. The result shows that the mechanically stressed core has more deformation or displacements than those of the normal condition.

It is necessary for the optimum design of switching devices to calculate repulsion forces acting on the closed electric contacts flowing over-current, e.g. inrush current and overload currents. In this paper, the forces generated by currents and flux densities at the contact point when circuit breakers are in closed position are obtained by using 3D finite element method. According to the analysis, the optimum configuration of wipe springs and arc extinguishing chambers are newly designed and consequently type tests show satisfactory results.
