Abstract:
The traditional electromagnetic force calculation method does not consider the non-linear magnetization characteristics of the ferromagnetic material or the magnetic resistance in full circuit, resulting in large calculation errors when the electromagnet operation state is far from the rated state, and causing the dynamics simulation results to diverge from the actual situation. A more accurate analytical formula for electromagnetic force is derived based on the full circuit magnetic resistance modification and considering the non-linear magnetization characteristics of ferromagnetic materials. Then combined with the finite element simulation analysis, the magnetic resistance modification (MRM) method is proposed for calculating electromagnetic levitation force and guiding force. This MRM method greatly improves the accuracy of electromagnetic force calculations and provides greater accuracy for EMS maglev vehicle dynamics simulations.
