Abstract:

The replacement of steam catapults with electromagnetic ones is becoming an overwhelming trend in aircraft launch systems. The Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) offers significant benefits to the aircraft, ship, personnel, and operational capabilities. EMALS has such advantages as high thrust, good controllability, reusable, etc., as a launching motor, a double-side plate Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor (PMLSM) can provide high instantaneous thrust. This paper compared two PM mover with quasi-Halbach array topology and radial topology for PMLSM application. A detailed analytical modeling based on Maxwell equations is presented for analysis and design of PMLSM with Halbach array. Finally, employing 2-D nonlinear time-stepping transient finite element method to demonstrate validity of the analytical analysis and parametric search. Using FEA, the effects of the parameters on the thrust amplitude are analyzed. Finally, A design optimization method applied to PMLSM with Halbach array, that the obtained result form 2-D FEM shown the increase of thrust force and flux density distribution in the air gap.

Electromagnetic field analysis of novel low cogging force, linear switched reluctance motor, based on 2-D finite element method

This paper deals with electromagnetic design and 2-D (two-dimensional) magnetic field analysis of novel low force ripple linear switched reluctance (LSR) motor. The configuration that has been presented here has a higher number of rotor poles than stator poles, and the purpose of this configuration is to improve the force ripple, which is the weak point of LSRMs. In order to illustrate the ...

Electromagnetic Vibration Energy Harvesting Using an Improved Halbach Array

This paper reports an electromagnetic vibration energy harvester using an improved Halbach array. A Halbach array is a specific arrangement of permanent magnets that concentrates the magnetic field on one side of the array while cancelling the field on the other side to almost zero. Previous research showed that although the Halbach array has higher magnetic field density compared to normal mag...

A Planar Electromagnetic Vibration Energy Harvester with a Halbach Array

This paper presents a low-profile, planar electromagnetic vibration energy harvester integrated with a Halbach array. Halbach array is a special arrangement of permanent magnets that doubles the magnetic field on one side of the array while cancelling the field to near zero on the other side. Using this arrangement can improve electromagnetic coupling in a limited space. The energy harvester ha...
