This paper presents a new partial excitation method of the moving magnet type linear synchronous motor(MMLSM) and proposes a new way of implementation for multi-mover MMLSM. Originally, partial excitation circuit which excites the coils only under the magnet is necessary for proper operation of MMLSM. In conventional partial excitation method there is inevitably impedance unbalance situation. So a new partial excitation method Is proposed to solve this impedance unbalance problem. Based on this partial excitation method, a novel control method for multi-mover MMLSM is proposed. The validity and performance of the proposed partial excitation method and multi-mover MMLSM is verified by experimental results.

In order to tune the speed controller in the linear servo applications an accurate information of a mover mass including a load mass is always required. This paper suggests the mass estimation method of a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor(PMLSM) 4y using the parameter estimation method of Least-Squares algorithm. First, the deterministic autoregressive moving average(DARMA) model of the mechanical dynamic system is derived. Then the application of the Least-Squares algorithm shows that the mass can be accurately estimated both in the simulation results and in the experimental results.

Eddy current is usually generated in material with high conductivity by time-varying source such as AC current and also is induced in the moving source with relative velocity. The contactless magnetic brakes make use of the braking force from the eddy current generated by moving source and currently used for the secondary brakes of heavy trucks, buses and rail vehicles. This study aims to design the magnetization pattern of a permanent magnet type eddy current brake system to maximize the braking force. The analysis of the brake system is based on the two-dimensional finite element analysis. We use the sequential linear programming as the optimizer and the adjoint variable method for the sensitivity analysis.

This paper is proposed a new linear actuator with the permanent magnet on the mover. This linear actuator is designed to produce the vibration of a osillator. In order to evaluate its dynamic performance, the equivalent coupling parameter between mechanical and electromagnetic equations of the linear actustor, which is considered the magnetic nonlinear phenomena, is analyzed by the finite element method and estimated the thrust, displacement and acceleration with the simualation values and the experimenta ones.

The lift and drag forces on various magnet moving with a velocity is developed above a closed loop coil. These forces are affect by resistance and inductance of circuit, velocity of magnet. To obtain strong magnetic flux density, the magnet is replaced by Halbach array. This paper presents analysis of force between linear motion Halbach array and a closed loop having the constant resistance and inductance as a various speed.

This paper develops a moving-magnet electromagnetic actuator for fast steering mirror (FSM). The actuator achieves a reasonable compromise between voice coil actuator and piezoelectric actuator. The stroke of the actuator is between the strokes of a piezoelectric actuator and a voice coil actuator, and its force output is a linear function of air gap and excitation current within our FSM travel range. Additionally, the actuator is more reliable than voice coil actuator as the electrical connection in the actuator is static. Analytically modeling the actuator is difficult and time-consuming. Alternatively, numerous finite element simulations are carried out for the actuator analysis and design. According to the design results, a real prototype of the actuator is fabricated. An experimental test system is then built. Using the test system, the force output of the fabricated actuator is evaluated. The test results validate the actuator analysis and design.

As known generally, when permanent magnets whose poles are upward and downward in order, arranged into the circumferential direction rotate under the conducting plate, the rotating force acts on the plate as well as the repulsive force. If the magnetic field by the magnet wheel(the above rotating permanent magnets) is partially shielded, the magnet wheel over open region can be a linear induction motor. The distinct feature from induction motor is that the traveling magnet field is produced by the moving permanent magnet instead of ac current. Furthermore, a variation of the open region changes the direction of the thrust force. In this paper, we introduce a concept of the linear actuator using the magnet wheel. Under the above shielding condition, a few simulation results and its verification from a simple test setup are described.

This paper proposes an optimal design method for the weight and cost of a moving magnet typer linear DC motor (MM-LDM). The optimal design condition such as type and size of MM-LDM were determined by the trinary search algorithm after adjusting a standard function and its related parameters. In order to verigy results of the optimal design by the computer simulation, the designed values such as a thrust, a current, a velocity, and etc. of the fabricated MM-LDM were measured. And the measurement results are in good agreement with the designed ones.

In order to study the thermal-hydraulic behavior of the cable-in-conduit-conductor (CICC), a numerical model has been developed. In the model, the high heat transfer approximation between superconducting strands and supercritical helium is adopted. The strong coupling of heat transfer at the front of normal zone generates a contact discontinuity in temperature and density. In order to obtain the converged numerical solutions, a moving mesh method is used to capture the contact discontinuity in the short front region of the normal zone. The coupled equation is solved using the finite element method with the artificial viscosity term. Details of the numerical implementation are discussed and the validation of the code is performed for comparison of the results with thse of GANDALF and QSAIT.
