This paper focuses on the modelling and control of an electromagnetic suspension using bond graph tool. technique combines graphical relational aspects to establish connections between elements, particularly in deducing junction relationships employing bicausal inversion for trajectory tracking controller design. To determine parameters, we utilized a meta-heuristic method called Firefly optimi...

Swallowable capsule endoscopy is used for non-invasive diagnosis of some gastrointestinal (GI) organs. However, control over the position of the capsule is a major unresolved issue. This study presents a design for steering the capsule based on magnetic levitation. The levitation is stabilized with the aid of a computer-aided feedback control system and diamagnetism. Peristaltic and gravitation...

This thesis describes the design procedure, analysis, and control of a single actuator magnetic levitation system. First the details of the system design and construction are presented, followed by an analysis of the relevant sub-systems and controller theory. Experimental levitation data is collected and compared to the theory. Utilizing a lead-lag controller, the maglev system is made stable ...

Levitation drift in the high-Tc superconducting levitation systems is directly related to the safe operation of the systems. In these levitation systems, the gap between a superconductor and a permanent magnet may decrease, increase, or keep unvarying with time. Based on the numerical simulations of the magnetic force-gap hysteresis relations of two different physical processes in field cooling...

Several cellular events cause permanent or transient changes in inherent magnetic and density properties of cells. Characterizing these changes in cell populations is crucial to understand cellular heterogeneity in cancer, immune response, infectious diseases, drug resistance, and evolution. Although magnetic levitation has previously been used for macroscale objects, its use in life sciences h...

In many applications, magnetic suspension systems are required to operate over large variations in air gap. As a result, the nonlinearities inherent in most types of suspensions have a significant impact on performance. Specifically, it may be difficult to design a linear controller which gives satisfactory performance, stability, and disturbance rejection over a wide range of operating points....

Kinetics of dendritic solidification and fragmentation of dendritic crystals in undercooled Ni–Zr samples are studied. Using the capacitance roximity sensor technique and a high-speed-camera system, the dendrite growth velocity has been measured as a function of initial undercooling n solidifying droplets processed by the electromagnetic levitation technique. Analyses of solidified droplets giv...
