This paper deals with the dynamic characteristics of a linear induction motor (LIM) in terms of acceleration times and jerk conditions. We employed Matlab Simulink for conducting simulations of the dynamic modeling of LIM operated by a space vector pulse width modulation inverter. From the simulation results, the maximum load conditions and minimum acceleration times to guarantee passengers' safety were determined. Further, the electromagnetic field theory was employed to derive equivalent circuit parameters, and the results were validated by the finite element method. The analysis model was applied to a magnetic levitation vehicle for providing electromagnetic propulsion force, and its dynamic characteristics were analyzed to predict its operating performance; moreover, experimental results were employed to demonstrate the validity. We believe that the proposed prediction technique for the operating characteristics of LIMs can contribute to improving passengers' safety and riding quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An objective in the design of high performance machinery is to minimize weight so magnetic bearings are often designed to operate slightly lower than their magnetic material saturation. Further weight reduction in the bearings requires operation in the nonlinear portion of the B\-H curve. This necessitates a more sophisticated analysis at the bearing and rotordynamic system levels during the design stage. This paper addresses this problem in a unique manner by developing a fully nonlinear homopolar magnetic bearing model. The nonlinear dynamics of a permanent magnet-biased homopolar magnetic bearing (PMB HoMB) system with a flexible rotor is analyzed. Nonlinear effects due to power amplifier voltage and current saturation and position dependent reluctances are also included in the model. A new curve fit model of the B\-H curve is shown to have significantly better agreement with the measured counterpart than conventional piecewise linear. The modified Langmuir method, with a novel correction terms for the weak flux region, is used to form an analytical model of the experimental magnetization curve of Hiperco 50. High static and dynamic loads applied to the rotor force the magnetic bearing to operate in a flux saturated state. The response of the heavily loaded 4-DOF rotor-bearing system shows that limit cycle stability can be achieved due to the magnetic flux saturation or current saturation in the amplifier. The stable limit cycle prevents the linear model instability, creating what is experimentally observed as a “virtual catcher bearing.” To the authors' knowledge this is the first explanation of this commonly observed phenomenon.

The touch-down test is widely used to calibrate the flying-height (FH) of sliders by gently contacting the disk with the thermal protrusion of thermal FH control (TFC) sliders. However, the dynamic instability of TFC slider during the touch-down process may significantly affect the contact detection and the FH calibration, and therefore, hinders further reduction of the FH of TFC sliders. This paper highlights the nonlinear dynamics perspectives on the instability of TFC sliders during the touch-down process. A single-DOF (degree-of-freedom) and a 2-DOF nonlinear dynamics models were developed respectively to quantitatively study instability of TFC sliders at the near contact regime and to explain the nonlinear dynamic behaviors of TFC sliders at touch-down. The simulation results from the nonlinear analytical models reveal that the existence of multiple equilibriums and the self-excited vibrations of the slider-air bearing system are the main reasons for the instability and bouncing of TFC sliders during touch-down process.
