Abstract
ABSTRACT In hybrid reluctance actuators, the achievable closed-loop system bandwidth is affected by the eddy currents and hysteresis in the ferromagnetic components and the mechanical resonance modes. Such effects must be accurately predicted to achieve high performance via feedback control. Therefore, a multiphysics electro-mechanical finite element model is proposed in this paper to compute the dynamics of a 2-DoF hybrid reluctance actuator. An electromagnetic simulation is adopted to compute the electromagnetic dynamics and the actuation torque, which is employed as input for a structural dynamic simulation computing the electro-mechanical frequency response function. For model validation, the simulated and measured frequency response plots are compared for two actuators with solid and laminated outer yoke, respectively. In both cases, the model accurately predicts the measurement results, with a maximum relative phase error of 1.7% between the first resonance frequency and 1 kHz and a relative error of 1.5% for the second resonance frequency..
