NUMERICAL CHARACTERIZATION MODEL OF VECTOR HYSTERESIS FOR MAGNETIC MATERIALS
The paper presents a numerical method based on Preisach model for the characterization and modelling of hysteretic magnetic materials exhibiting vector hysteresis, with acceptable accuracy, based on minimal material measurement data. The identification approach based on the Everett distribution function is a way to obtain accurate numerical solutions when the experimental data of the magnetic material are scarce, for instance: there are known only the initial magnetization curve and the upward major branch for two directions (rolling and transverse ones). The comparison between the measured and simulated major loop curves for another magnetization direction shows good agreements.
Anisotropic vector Preisach model and magnetic field solutions
The implementation of a vector Preisach model for the modelling of anisotropic hysteretic soft magnetic materials is outlined. Some comparisons with measurements on alternate and rotational magnetic field excitations are shown. The hysteresis model is inserted inside a two‐dimensional finite element solver formulated in terms of magnetic vector potential and nonlinear solution is handled by means of the fixed point method with H‐scheme. Results obtained on a two‐dimensional geometry are described and discussed.
Characteristics of the complete moving hysteresis model
Moving‐type Preisach‐derived models computing both the irreversible and the locally reversible components of the magnetization accurately characterize magnetic recording materials exhibiting hysteresis. Experimental results show that the derivative of the major remanent loop is not a symmetrical function of the applied field. It is shown that the complete moving hysteresis model can compute such an asymmetrical variation with a symmetrical Preisach function. It is also shown that this asymmetry is due to the reversible magnetization. Additional properties of moving‐type models are also discussed.
