Magnet circuit design and optimization of giant magnetostrictive transducer

To optimize the electromagnetic performance of giant magnetostric tive transducer,the effects of coil's geometry and magnetic circuit components on the transducer's magnetic field characteristics and displacement output were studied,and the magnetic circuit's loss and the gap's magnetic permeability were also analyzed.The appropriate coil structure parameters were presented,and an optimized design scheme was proposed in which pure iron with high magnetic permeability was attached to both ends of the giant magnetostrictive material(GMM) to reduce loss.Both finite element simulation and experimental analysis were conducted to study the effects of different magnet circuit design schemes on the transducer's performance.The results indicate that attaching pure iron to both ends of the GMM can enhance the working magnetic field,reduce the magnetic flux leakage,and increase the displacement output with reduced current in coil,thus improve the thermal condition of the transducer.
