Hysteretic Nonlinear Characteristics of Giant Magnetostrictive Sensors

Abstract:

Hysteretic nonlinear characteristics of giant magnetostrictive sensor were studied in this paper. Nonlinear difference items were introduced to interpret the hysteresis phenomena of the strain-magnetic field intensity (MFI) curves of giant magnetostrictive material (GMM). The coupling relationship between strain and frequency was obtained in partial least-square regression method to describe the driftage phenomena of the strain-MFI curves of GMM in different frequencies. The mechanical model of giant magnetostrictive sensor was developed, and the nonlinear relationship between output voltage of giant magnetostrictive sensor and input excitation force was obtained. The nonlinear characteristics of giant magnetostrictive sensor were discussed, and the phenomena of accuracy aggravation in high frequency and delay of giant magnetostrictive sensor were explained. The new giant magnetostrictive sensor model has simple form and is easy to be analyzed in theory, which is helpful to measuring and control.
