To increase the retaining force, a novel design for a concentric, bi-directional, electromagnetic valve actuator that contains double-layer permanent magnets is presented in this paper. To analyze the retaining-force change caused by the magnets, an equivalent magnetic circuit (EMC) model is established, while the EMC circuit of a double-layer permanent-magnet valve actuator (DLMVA) is also designed. Based on a 3D finite element method (FEM), the calculation model is built for the optimization of the key DLMVA parameters, and the valve-actuator optimization results are adopted for the improvement of the DLMVA design. A prototype actuator is manufactured, and the corresponding test results show that the actuator satisfies the requirements of a high retaining force under a volume limitation; furthermore, the design of the permanent magnets in the DLMVA allow for the attainment of both a high initial output force and a retaining force of more than 100 N.

This paper presents an optimal design of magnetorheological(MR) damper based on analytical methodology and finite element analysis. The proposed MR damper consists of MR valve and gas chamber. The MR valve is constrained in a specific volume and the optimization problem identifies geometric dimensions of the valve structure that maximize the pressure drop of the MR valve or damping force of the MR damper. In this work, the single-coil annular MR valve structure is considered. After describing the schematic configuration and operating principle of MR valve and damper, a quasi-static model is derived based on Bingham model of MR fluid. The magnetic circuit of the valve and damper is then analyzed by applying the Kirchoff’s law and magnetic flux conservation rule. Based on the quasi-static modeling and the magnetic circuit analysis, the optimization problem of the MR valve and damper is built. The optimal solution of the optimization problem of the MR valve structure constrained in a specific volume is then obtained and compared with the solution obtained from finite element method.

The voice coil linear force motor is a kind of a direct drive motion device that uses a permanent magnetic field and coil winding to produce force. In order to design a voice coil linear force motor, an exact calculations of the required force, the flux density in air gap and the flux pathway are needed. A conventional method can be used usually to calculate the flux density in air gap, but with this method it is needed to find a magnetic circuit revision constant. In this paper a voice coil linear force motor is designed by conventional design method and analyzed by 3D simulation program "Flux". For the prototype linear force motor, the results of the calculated by conventional design method and the analyzed by 3D simulation program are compared with the test result. Finally it is showed that the magnetic circuit revision constant which is found by comparing of the analyzed and the measured data can be used for the design of the voice coil type linear force motor to minimize the trial and error.

Magnetic circuit design of HTS (High Temperature Superconducting) motor is important to achieve the power at a given load condition, and it is essential to the thermal design for HTS motor rotors. To determine the result of thermal design, the magnetic field distribution has to be known exactly. On the basis of the 2 dimensional magnetic field analysis, the magnetic field distributions due to several cases are calculated by using Biot-Savart equation and magnetic image method. And the I$_{c}$ of HTS field coil was calculated by using I$_{c}$-B(equation omitted) curve and 3D FEA(Finite Element Analysis).is).

To design a limiting MCCB (Molded Case Circuit Breaker) mechanism, a dynamic modeling of the mechanism in which the electro-magnetic force effects are incorporated needs to be developed. Conventionally, electro-magnetic effects were considered separately for the design of the mechanism. In this paper, an electro-magnetic force that is induced by limited current is identified and included in the dynamic modeling of the mechanism. Thus, the electro-magnetic which is defined as a external force and the mechanical effects are simultaneously considered for the design of the mechanism which is composed of contactor, spring , link, latch and so on.

The most important thing in design procedure of SCG is the exact estimation of the electromagnetic force acting on the field and amature winding. Until now, equivalent circuit method was used for the analysis or electric and magnetic performance. This paper sheds the leo dimensional analysis of electric and magnetic characteristics of SCG by Finite Element Method(FEM). Analysis by FEM provides more areolate results than that of equivalent circuit method because harmonics field generated by field current can he considered. Circuit and field equations are combined together in a equation and solved simultaneously.

This paper presents a design and characteristics analysis of an SRM drive for EPS application. A rack mounted EPS system is considered in this paper. In the unrestricted design conditions, motor parameters are determined for sufficient torque and speed with some restrictions. For the smooth torque generation and simple circuit of power system, 12/8 motor drive is considered. With FEM and magnetic circuit analysis, redesigned motor is simulated to meet the requirement of specifications. Effectiveness of the suggested SRM drive for EPS application is verified by redesigned motor drive tests.

철도차량용 선형유도전동기(Linear Induction Motor, LIM) 축소-회전형 모델의 기본 설계 결과를 검증하기 위하여 LIM의 자기등가회로법을 이용한 파라미터 도출 및 특성 계산을 수행하였다. LIM의 경우, 자기등가회로상의 파라미터는 LIM의 전기자 코어와 2차측 알루미늄 도체판의 형상 및 공극에 대한 함수로써 표현이 가능하다. 즉 전기자 코어와 2차측 알루미늄 도체판의 형상 및 공극 변경에 의해 LIM의 특성이 크게 달라질 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 철도차량용 LIM 축소-회전형 모델의 공극, 2차측 AL-Plate의 두께, 오버행 길이, 형상 변경에 따른 LIM 축소-회전형 모델의 자기등가회로 파라미터 및 특성의 변화 추세를 분석하여, 철도차량용 실모델 LIM 개발을 위한 기초 연구를 수행하였다.
