Abstract

This paper presents a high-fidelity finite-element modeling technique for magnetic hysteresis and eddy current losses in toroid inductors. The method is based on the separation of ferromagnetic loss characteristics into two components: a quasi-static hysteresis component and a dynamic eddy current component. The Preisach model is used to describe the quasi-static magnetic hysteresis behavior of the core, providing strong guarantees on the reproducibility of the experimentally measured characteristics. This model is used to represent the magnetic field constitutive relationships within a finite-element framework combining the effects of hysteresis and eddy currents in a unified dynamic simulation. The finite-element model of the toroid is used as a high-order inductor model coupled to a resonant circuit simulation. The modeling technique is validated through experimental measurements on two different series RLC circuits. The first circuit is based on an M19 electrical steel toroid having resonant frequency near 200 Hz. The second circuit is based on a T38 ferrite toroid having a resonant frequency near 10 kHz. The models agree closely with the measured voltages, currents, and losses. The models also successfully predict discontinuities in the measured frequency responses due to the existence of bistable operating regimes.

Continuum Modeling of Inductor Hysteresis and Eddy Current Loss Effects in Resonant Circuits

Conference Pries, Jason L. ; Tang, Lixin ; Burress, Timothy A.

This paper presents experimental validation of a high-fidelity toroid inductor modeling technique. The aim of this research is to accurately model the instantaneous magnetization state and core losses in ferromagnetic materials. Quasi–static hysteresis effects are captured using a Preisach model. Eddy currents are included by coupling the associated quasi-static Everett function to a simple finite element model representing the inductor cross sectional area. The modeling technique is validated against the nonlinear frequency response from two different series RLC resonant circuits using inductors made of electrical steel and soft ferrite. The method is shown to accurately model shifts in resonant frequencymore »« less

Induced Eddy Currents in Simple Conductive Geometries: Mathematical Formalism Describes the Excitation of Electrical Eddy Currents in a Time-Varying Magnetic Field

Journal Article Nagel, James R. - IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine

In this paper, a complete mathematical formalism is introduced to describe the excitation of electrical eddy currents due to a time-varying magnetic field. The process works by applying a quasistatic approximation to Ampere's law and then segregating the magnetic field into impressed and induced terms. The result is a nonhomogeneous vector Helmholtz equation that can be analytically solved for many practical geometries. Four demonstration cases are then solved under a constant excitation field over all space—an infinite slab in one dimension, a longitudinal cylinder in two dimensions, a transverse cylinder in two dimensions, and a sphere in three dimensions.

Laminated core modeling under rotational excitations including eddy currents and hysteresis

Journal Article Bottauscio, Oriano ; Chiampi, Mario - Journal of Applied Physics

This article presents a numerical model for the electromagnetic analysis of hysteretic-laminated cores under rotational excitations. The computational approach is based on the finite element solution of a two-dimensional field magnetic problem in a homogeneous structure, where the skin effect due to macroscopic eddy currents in the lamination depth is included through a generalized dynamic constitutive relationship between B and H. The proposed model, after validation, is applied to the analysis of a laminated disk, evaluating the effects of the supply frequency and distorsion on power losses and B{endash}H loops. {copyright} 2001 American Institute of Physics.

Heat flux modeling using ion drift effects in DIII-D H-mode plasmas with resonant magnetic perturbations

Journal Article Wingen, Andreas ; Schmitz, Oliver ; Evans, Todd E. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The heat flux patterns measured in low-collisionality DIII-D H-mode plasmas strongly deviate from simultaneously measured CII emission patterns, used as indicator of particle flux, during applied resonant magnetic perturbations. While the CII emission clearly shows typical striations, which are similar to magnetic footprint patterns obtained from vacuum field line tracing, the heat flux is usually dominated by one large peak at the strike point position. The vacuum approximation, which only considers applied magnetic fields and neglects plasma response and plasma effects, cannot explain the shape of the observed heat flux pattern. One possible explanation is the effect of particle drifts.more »« less

An algorithm for continuum modeling of rocks with multiple embedded nonlinearly-compliant joints [Continuum modeling of elasto-plastic media with multiple embedded nonlinearly-compliant joints]

Journal Article Hurley, R. C. ; Vorobiev, O. Y. ; Ezzedine, S. M. - Computational Mechanics

Here, we present a numerical method for modeling the mechanical effects of nonlinearly-compliant joints in elasto-plastic media. The method uses a series of strain-rate and stress update algorithms to determine joint closure, slip, and solid stress within computational cells containing multiple “embedded” joints. This work facilitates efficient modeling of nonlinear wave propagation in large spatial domains containing a large number of joints that affect bulk mechanical properties. We implement the method within the massively parallel Lagrangian code GEODYN-L and provide verification and examples. We highlight the ability of our algorithms to capture joint interactions and multiple weakness planes within individualmore »« less
