Research of Jiles-Atherton Dynamic Model in Giant Magnetostrictive Actuator

Abstract EN

Due to the existence of multicoupled nonlinear factors in the giant magnetostrictive actuator (GMA), building precise mathematical model is highly important to study GMA’s characteristics and control strategies.

Minor hysteresis loops near the bias magnetic field would be often applied because of its relatively good linearity.

Load, friction, and disc spring stiffness seriously affect the output characteristics of the GMA in high frequency.

Therefore, the current-displacement dynamic minor loops mathematical model coupling of electric-magnetic-machine is established according to Jiles-Atherton (J-A) dynamic model of hysteresis material, GMA structural dynamic equation, Ampere loop circuit law, and nonlinear piezomagnetic equation and demonstrates its correctness and effectiveness in the experiments.

Finally, some laws are achieved between key structural parameters and output characteristics of GMA, which provides important theoretical foundation for structural design.
