Asif, Dean Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science ii ABSTRACT Application of Magnetic Hysteresis Modeling to the Design and Analysis of Electrical Machines Maged Ibrahim, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2014 Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) with rare-earth magnets are widely used in the traction drives of electrical and hybrid electrical vehicles, as they can provide high efficiency and torque density. Due to the possibility of future shortage of rare-earth materials, it is essential for electric vehicle industry to find alternative magnet technologies that can provide a substitute for rare-earth PMSMs. Permanent magnet machines with Alnico magnets can theoretically provide torque densities comparable to rare-earth PMSMs, due to their high remnant flux density. However, these magnets are rarely used in the conventional designs of PMSMs, as they can be demagnetized by the armature field. The thesis presents a novel design for permanent magnet machines with Alnico magnets. The proposed design can provide high air gap flux density at no-load, and the armature field at full load tends to enhance the magnet flux. Therefore, the machine can operate with high torque density even under severe loading conditions. The demagnetization characteristics of Alnico magnets are also utilized to achieve high efficiency at a wide speed range, as the magnet flux is reduced at high speeds by armature current pulses that iii dissipate negligible losses, thus avoiding the additional copper losses of the continuous flux weakening current in conventional rare-earth PMSMs. The simulation of the demagnetization and magnetization dynamics of the proposed machine design requires considering the hysteresis characteristics of the permanent magnets. Therefore, finite element analysis (FEA) simulations for the designed machine are performed using a linearized hysteresis model for Alnico magnets. The thesis also aims to improve the design and modeling of electrical machines by developing computationally efficient methods for incorporating the hysteresis characteristics of electrical steel into electrical machine models. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my deep appreciation to my supervisor Dr. Pragasen Pillay for his invaluable guidance and continuous support throughout my MA.Sc and Ph.D studies.

Hence, they would have wide potential applications in next-generation nanoelectronic and spintronic devices. In this work, being inspired by a recent study we systematically perform Monte Carlo simulations based on single-site update Metropolis algorithm to investigate the hysteresis features of VX2 monolayers for a wide range of temperatures up to 600 K. Our simulation results indicate that, both remanence and coercivity values tend to decrease with increasing temperature. Furthermore, it is found that hysteresis curves start to evolve from rectangular at the lower temperature regions to nearly S-shaped with increasing temperature. 1. Introduction In recent years, two-dimensional (2D) monolayers such as boron nitride (BN) [1], silicene [2], germanene [3], arsenene and antimonene [4], phosphorene [5] and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) [6–8] have attracted considerable attention beyond graphene due to their remarkable structural, electronic, optical and magnetic properties.

  • Magnetic Hysteresis
    Magnetic Hysteresis The lag or delay of a magnetic material known commonly as Magnetic Hysteresis, relates to the magnetisation properties of a material by which it firstly becomes magnetised and then de- magnetised. Then the magnetic flux density in the material will be increased by a larger factor as a result of its relative permeability for the material compared to the magnetic flux density in vacuum, μoH and for an air-cored coil this relationship is given as: So for ferromagnetic materials the ratio of flux density to field strength ( B/H ) is not constant but varies with flux density. However, for air cored coils or any non- magnetic medium core such as woods or plastics, this ratio can be considered as a constant and this constant is known as μo, the permeability of free space, -7 ( μo = 4.π.10 H/m ). By plotting values of flux density, ( B ) against the field strength, ( H ) we can produce a set of curves called Magnetisation Curves, Magnetic Hysteresis Curves or more commonly B-H Curves for each type of core material used as shown below. Magnetisation or B-H Curve The set of magnetisation curves, M above represents an example of the relationship between B and H for soft-iron and steel cores but every type of core material will have its own set of magnetic hysteresis curves. You may notice that the flux density increases in proportion to the field strength until it reaches a certain value were it can not increase any more becoming almost level and constant as the field strength continues to increase.

  • Magnetic Hysteresis
    Study of magnetic hysteresis Objective: To study the magnetic hysteresis loop for a ring shaped massive iron core. Theory: Magnetism in matter: The magnetic state of a material can be described by a vector ͇⃗ called magnetization, or dipolar magnetic moment per unit volume. In vacuum, the magnetic induction ̼⃗ and the applied magnetic field intensity, ͂⃗, are connected by the equation: ̼⃗ = 0͂⃗ (1) −7 -1 where 0 = 4 ∙ 10 Hm , is the absolute magnetic permeability of vacuum. However, in a matter, magnetic induction depends on magnetization ͇⃗ in the following way: ̼⃗ = 0(͂⃗ + ͇⃗) (2) There is another important parameter called the magnetic susceptibility, , which is a measure of the quality of the magnetic material and defined as the magnetization produced per unit applied magnetic field, i.e., = M/H (3) Magnetism in solids is broadly classified into 3 categories: diamagnetism, paramagnetism and ferromagnetism. Diamagnetism: Diamagnetism is a very weak effect observed in solids having no permanent magnetic moments. It arises due to changes in the atomic orbital states induced by the applied magnetic field. It exists in all materials but usually suppressed by other stronger effects such as para- or ferromagnetism. For diamagnetic materials, magnetization ͇⃗ varies linearly with ͂⃗ in opposite direction. Hence < 0. Diamagnetism is temperature independent. Paramagnetism: Paramagnetism is also a weak effect, but unlike diamagnetism, the magnetic moment is aligned along the direction of applied magnetic field. Certain atoms and ions (oxygen, air, iron salts, etc.) have a permanent magnetic moment of their own. Without applied magnetic field, these are oriented randomly.
