This paper presents an electromagnetic design methodology for the magneto-rheological (MR) fluid actuator. In order to improve the performance of the MR fluid actuator, the magnetic circuit including the MR fluid, the ferromagnetic material for flux path and the electromagnetic coil should be well designed, thereby the magnetic field intensity can be effectively supplied to the MR fluid. First of all, in order to improve the static characteristic, the length of the flux path is decreased by removing the unnecessary bulk of the yoke. Next, in order to improve the dynamic and hysteretic characteristics, the magnetic reluctance of the ferromagnetic material is increased by minimizing the cross section through which the flux passes. The effectiveness of the proposed design methodology is verified by the magnetic analysis and a series of basic experiments.

This paper describes the magnetizer design of highly saturated magnetic circuit by high external field. The magnetizer is loaded by a capacitor bank with impulse currents to reach high magnetic flux-density(typically 5[T]). Magnetizing current come out from magnetizing system is simulated by analytic method and transient FEM, also field distributions of the magnetizer are analyzed.

The novel permanent magnetic actuator (PMA) and its optimal design method were proposed in this paper. The proposed PMA is referred to as the separated permanent magnetic actuator (SPMA) and significantly superior in terms of its cost and performance level over a conventional PMA. The proposed optimal design method uses the evolutionary strategy algorithm (ESA), the kriging meta-model (KMM), and the multi-step optimization. The KMM can compensate the slow convergence of the ESA. The proposed multi-step optimization process, which separates the independent variables, can decrease time and increase the reliability for the optimal design result. Briefly, the optimization time and the poor reliability of the optimum are mitigated by the proposed optimization method.

The design and development if Resonant-type Magnetometer(RM) using isotropic magnetic with high permeability is described in this paper. At first, the relationship between the inductance L if the coil winding on a magnetic material and the permeability u(H) appearing in the magnetic material with isotropic and high permeability is defined as a background theory. Then the circuit if RM, which is to obtain the values if L as the change qf frequency is implemented using simple Schmitt Trigger Circuit Through the swinging tests, which is to evaluate the measurement ability if RM, the measurement possibility for the component of earth field was confined.

In this paper, auto focus actuator, which is used to move a lens module in the mobile phone having a camera module, is developed. Camera module containing auto focus actuator requires to minimize total size because of characteristics of the application area such as mobile phone, digital camera, and personal digital assistant. There are stepping motor, voice coil motor, and piezoelectric motor as auto focus actuator. In this paper, voice coil motor having new electromagnetic configuration is proposed. And actuator using proposed voice coil motor is developed by optimal design method using magnetic circuit analysis. The sectional area of the developed actuator is reduced to 32.4% compared with actuator using general electromagnetic configuration. From the performance test, the developed actuator has moving stroke of 0.64 mm for 2.1 volt, hysteresis of 40 $\mu$m, full stroke current of 54 mA, and unit step motion of 3 $\mu$m.

This paper deals with the improvement of starting characteristic of line-start synchronous relucatance motor(SynRM). To decide the number of conductor bars, the locking torque, when slip is 1, is computed by finite element method(FEM). And then, the magnetic circuit is designed to improve the starting torque according to the rotor position from the shape design of the conductor bars of the rotor with the flux barriers.

The conventional motor-driven MCCB (molded-case circuit breaker) is not only large in size, but also inefficient in performance. To solve these problems, this paper suggests SPMA (separate permanent-magnet actuator), a novel magnetic actuator. In this paper, SPMA is designed for a 225AF MCCB and compared to a conventional motor-driven MCCB and to an EMFA (electro-magnetic force driving actuator)-type MCCB.

Recently, high-developed domestic industry and environmental issues demand high-voltage short-pulse power supply(power, voltage, pulse width and repetition rate of 100KW, 150KV, 500ns and 500Hz, respectively) for electron beam process and puolse corona process. In such power supplies magnetic compression circuit can be one of the effectives solutions. In ths study design and operation principle of a pulse-power supply with a three-stage magnetic-compression circuit are described. A good agreement between simulation and experimental results verifies the validity of thescheme. The system delivers energy of 10[J/pulse] at the efficiency of 82%[%].
