  • Torque analysis and measurements of a permanent magnet type eddy current brake with a halbach magnet array based on analytical Magnetic field calculations
    Journal of Applied Physics, 2014
    Co-Authors: Mingyu Park, Hyeonjae Shin, Jangyoung Choi, Seok-myeong Jang
    Abstract:

    This paper presents the Torque analysis and measurements of a permanent magnet (PM) type eddy current brake (ECB) with a Halbach magnet array based on analytical Magnetic field calculations. On the basis of a Magnetic vector potential and using a two-dimensional (2D) polar coordinate system, the analytical solution for Magnetic flux density, including the eddy current reaction is evaluated. Based on these solutions, the Magnetic Torque is also determined analytically. A 2D finite element analysis is employed to validate the method used. Practical issues in the analytical study of the PM type ECBs, such as the maximum braking Torque, the required rotor speed, and the segment-dependent, are fully discussed. Finally, the braking Torque as a function of the rotor speed is measured to verify the results of the analytical study.

  • analytical Magnetic Torque calculations and experimental testing of radial flux permanent magnet type eddy current brakes
    Journal of Applied Physics, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jangyoung Choi, Seok-myeong Jang
    Abstract:

    This paper reports on analytical Magnetic Torque calculations and experimental tests of a radial flux permanent magnet (RFPM)-type eddy current brake (ECB). Analytical solutions for permanent magnet-generated Magnetic fields that consider the eddy current reaction are obtained by using a Magnetic vector potential and a two dimensional (2D) polar coordinate system. On the basis of these solutions, the analytical expressions for a Magnetic Torque are also derived. All analytical results are validated extensively by non-linear finite element calculations. In particular, Magnetic Torque measurements are obtained in tests to confirm the analyses. Finally, practical issues related to the analytical study of RFPM-type ECBs are fully discussed.

  • behavior of rotating Magnetic microrobots above the step out frequency with application to control of multi microrobot systems
    Applied Physics Letters, 2014
    Co-Authors: Arthur W Mahoney, Bradley J. Nelson, Nathan D Nelson, Kathrin E Peyer, Jake J. Abbott
    Abstract:

    This paper studies the behavior of rotating Magnetic microrobots, constructed with a permanent magnet or a soft ferromagnet, when the applied Magnetic field rotates faster than a microrobot's step-out frequency (the frequency requiring the entire available Magnetic Torque to maintain synchronous rotation). A microrobot's velocity dramatically declines when operated above the step-out frequency. As a result, it has generally been assumed that microrobots should be operated beneath their step-out frequency. In this paper, we report and demonstrate properties of a microrobot's behavior above the step-out frequency that will be useful for the design and control of multi-microrobot systems.

  • modeling Magnetic Torque and force for controlled manipulation of soft Magnetic bodies
    IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2007
    Co-Authors: Jake J. Abbott, Michael P. Kummer, Olgaç Ergeneman, Ann M. Hirt, Bradley J. Nelson
    Abstract:

    We calculate the Torque and force generated by an arbitrary Magnetic field on an axially symmetric soft-Magnetic body. We consider the magnetization of the body as a function of the applied field, using a continuous model that unifies two disparate Magnetic models. The continuous Torque and force follow. The model is verified experimentally, and captures the often neglected region between weak and saturating fields, where interesting behavior is observed. We provide the field direction to maximize Torque for a given field magnitude. We also find an absolute maximum Torque, for a given body geometry and material, which can be generated with relatively weak applied fields. This paper is aimed at those interested in systems-level analysis, simulation, and real-time control of soft-Magnetic bodies.

We provide the optimal field direction for a given field magnitude. We find a maximum possible Torque, which can be generated with relatively weak applied fields. This paper facilitates systems-level analysis, simulation, and real-time control of soft-Magnetic bodies.
