A Novel Vector Hysteresis Model Using Anisotropic Vector Play Model Taking Into Account Rotating Magnetic Fields

This paper presents an improved identification algorithm of the scalar play model, and suggests a novel vector play model to describe the vector hysteretic behavior of a nonoriented electrical steel sheet (ESS) under rotating magnetic fields. The proposed identification algorithm gives much better numerical accuracy than a conventional one by assigning more play operators than the measured asymmetric minor loops. The vector-shape function of the suggested vector play model consists of two scalar shape functions, which are independently identified by using measured hysteresis loops under alternating magnetic fields along rolling and transverse direction of ESS, respectively. The vector play model, furthermore, employs a nonlinear coefficient, which is a function of the magnitude and direction of magnetic flux density, to increase the numerical accuracy. The validity of the suggested vector play model is verified by comparing it with experimental results under various magnetic-field conditions.
