Anisotropic Generalization of Vector Preisach Hysteresis Models for Nonoriented Steels.

A Preisach-type vector hysteresis model is developed to represent anisotropic material characteristics under static and dynamic conditions. Bi- and uniaxial anisotropy are incorporated by generalizing the input projection of the vector model. Frequency-dependent eddy current and excess effects are considered by an additional field strength component. The model is applied to simulate the magnetic properties of weakly anisotropic nonoriented magnetic steel. The simulation results are successfully validated against measurements under alternating and circular flux carried out on a rotational single-sheet tester. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
