INVESTIGATIONS ON THE EFFECT OF WALL THICKNESS ON MAGNETIC ADHESION FOR WALL CLIMBING ROBOTS

The focus of this work is to investigate the adhesion characteristics a permanent magnet arrangement over ferromagnetic surfaces for wall climbing robot applications. changes in thickness affect robot, turn influences payload and alters operating conditions. effect varying on strength wall-climbing an area barely investigated being explored work. A two-dimensional model mechanism surface developed simulated study. are studied different thicknesses with grades magnet. Two standoff distances which comprise gap between be inspected therein. Experimental studies also carried out measure performance, results show strong correlation simulation results. Simulation experimental validation magnetic presented will provide better insights into systems.
