Effect of Ferromagnetic Core Material Types on Solenoid Actuator Performances

Abstract

In order to introduce the effects of magnetic field characteristics (B-H) relationship in magnetic field problems analysis, nonlinear method of analysis by using some sort of numerical technique need to complete the analysis. In this work, three dimension finite element analysis is used for solenoid actuator studying. Two types of ferromagnetic, Ferro cobalt and silicon iron used where B-H curves for both materials are introduced in the iterative numerical solution. The results appears the increasing of armature force when the relative permittivity of the material exhibit large value depending on the characteristic of the material used in the solution.
