Magnetic Field and Circuit Parameters in an Electromagnetic Generator Supporting a Rotary MR Damper

Abstract:

This paper summarises the results of numerical calculations of magnetic field and circuit parameters in an electromagnetic generator supplying a rotary MR damper. The design and operating principles of the generator are outlined. The distribution of the magnetic flux density vector is obtained, other parameters include its modulus, the magnetic flux from permanent magnets and time patterns of induced voltage and current in the control coil of the damper, power and energy of magnetic field in this coil at different rotational speeds of the induction with respect to the armature.
