Plenary talk - non coaxial force and inductance calculations for bitter coils and coils with uniform radial current distributions
2011
Recently the Bessel function approach to calculating the magnetic fields of coils has been used to calculate the mutual inductance and the force between two non coaxial thick cylindrical coils with parallel axes and uniform radial current distributions. This method can also be applied to calculate the force and inductance between an ordinary coil and a Bitter coil, or between two bitter coils, not necessarily coaxial. Bitter coils give a simpler case of the method, and it is possible to solve analytically for the magnetic field of a bitter disk.
Exact solutions for the mutual inductance of circular coils and elliptic coils
2012
An exact solution is presented for the mutual inductance between general noncoaxial thin circular and elliptic coils with parallel axes. The thin coil solution is given as an angular integral of an elliptic integral expression. In addition, for the coaxial case, an exact solution is given for the mutual inductance of a thick circular coil and a thick elliptic coil. The elliptic coil is such that the coil thickness is the same along both elliptic semi-axes. The thick coil solution is given as an integral of an expression involving Bessel and Struve functions. Extensive numerical results for sample geometries are given for both solutions, which are cross checked against each other in the limi…

Thermophoretic separation of a ferrofluid–water emulsion: preliminary experiments
2002
Abstract The Soret effect in an emulsion (microdroplets of hydrocarbon based ferrofluid in water) is evaluated from the separation measurements in vertical thermodiffusion column. The particle concentration in column ends is detected from the resonance frequency of LC oscillators with inductance coils mounted inside the column ends. The Soret coefficient S T of droplets is calculated from the initial part of dynamic separation curves. The measured value S T =−480 K −1 agrees qualitatively well with the calculated one found assuming the Maragoni-type transfer of liquid particles.
THE OPTIMAL SCALING OF A LINEAR RELUCTANCE MOTOR BY FIELD COMPUTATION
1995
The work aims at investigating the law of miniaturization of a linear reluctance motor by expressing the ratio of force to mass as a function of bar position in per unit, for different scale factors. Corresponding to the same factors, inductance is also computed. Finally the ratio of the bar length to external diameter is changed and the analysis is accordingly repeated.
Adaptive Feedback Linearization Control of SynRM Drives With On-Line Inductance Estimation
2023
This article proposes an adaptive input-output Feedback Linearization Control ( FLC ) techniques for Synchronous Reluctance Motor ( SynRM ) drives, taking into consideration the iron losses. As a main original content, this work proposes a control law based on a new dynamic model of the SynRM including iron losses as well as the on-line estimation of the static inductances. The on-line estimation of the SynRM static inductances permits to inherently take into consideration the magnetic saturation phenomena occuring on both axes. As a major result, it permits a null stator current steady state tracking error even with a proportional derivative controller. The estimation law is obtained thank…
Importance of the Window Function Choice for the Predictive Modelling of Memristors
2021
Window functions are widely employed in memristor models to restrict the changes of the internal state variables to specified intervals. Here, we show that the actual choice of window function is of significant importance for the predictive modelling of memristors. Using a recently formulated theory of memristor attractors, we demonstrate that whether stable fixed points exist depends on the type of window function used in the model. Our main findings are formulated in terms of two memristor attractor theorems, which apply to broad classes of memristor models. As an example of our findings, we predict the existence of stable fixed points in Biolek window function memristors and their absenc…
Non-Linear Inductors Characterization in Real Operating Conditions for Power Density Optimization in SMPS
2021
The exploitation of power inductors outside their linear region in switching converters can be achieved by raising the current until a decreasing of the inductance can be noticed. It allows using a smaller magnetic core increasing the power density of the converter. On the other hand, a detailed description of the magnetization curve including the temperature is required. Since this information is often not included in the inductor’s datasheets, this paper shows how to identify the behavior of an inductor when it is operated up to saturation and its temperature rises. In order to characterize the inductor in real operating conditions, a dedicated measurement rig has been developed. It consi…
Control of ultra-high switching frequency power converters using virtual flux-based direct power control
2017
This paper presents a control technique for ultra-high switching frequency rectifiers known as virtual flux-based direct power control (VF-DPC). This method utilizes AC voltage sensors to provide better power quality at the input and output of power converters. Performance of an ultra-high switching frequency converter using the extended and conventional VF-DPC method is analyzed. The analysis has shown that the extended VF-DPC method can reduce better the total harmonic distortion (THD) of input currents and the ripples of the output DC voltage as compared to conventional VF-DPC. Finally, the effect of switching frequency and inductance size on rectifier operation is investigated in this s…
Realistic model of compact VLSI FitzHugh–Nagumo oscillators
2013
In this article, we present a compact analogue VLSI implementation of the FitzHugh–Nagumo neuron model, intended to model large-scale, biologically plausible, oscillator networks. As the model requires a series resistor and a parallel capacitor with the inductor, which is the most complex part of the design, it is possible to greatly simplify the active inductor implementation compared to other implementations of this device as typically found in filters by allowing appreciable, but well modelled, nonidealities. We model and obtain the parameters of the inductor nonideal model as an inductance in series with a parasitic resistor and a second order low-pass filter with a large cut-off freque…
