Magnetic Actuators and Sensors
English
By (author): John R. Brauer
A fully updated, easy-to-read guide on magnetic actuators and sensors
The Second Edition of this must-have book for today's engineers includes the latest updates and advances in the field of magnetic actuators and sensors. Magnetic Actuators and Sensors emphasizes computer-aided design techniquesespecially magnetic finite element analysis; offers many new sections on topics ranging from magnetic separators to spin valve sensors; and features numerous worked calculations, illustrations, and real-life applications.
To aid readers in building solid, fundamental, theoretical background and design know-how, the book provides in-depth coverage in four parts:
PART I: MAGNETICS
- Introduction
- Basic Electromagnetics
- Reluctance Method
- Finite-Element Method
- Magnetic Force
- Other Magnetic Performance Parameters
PART II: ACTUATORS
- Magnetic Actuators Operated by Direct Current
- Magnetic Actuators Operated by Alternating Current
- Magnetic Actuator Transient Operation
PART III: SENSORS
- Hall Effect and Magnetoresistive Sensors
- Other Magnetic Sensors
PART IV: SYSTEMS
- Coil Design and Temperature Calculations
- Electromagnetic Compatibility
- Electromechanical Finite Elements
- Electromechanical Analysis Using Systems Models
- Coupled Electrohydraulic Analysis Using Systems Models
With access to a support website containing downloadable software data files (including MATLAB® data files) for verifying design techniques and analytical methods, Magnetic Actuators and Sensors, Second Edition is an exemplary learning tool for practicing engineers and engineering students involved in the design and application of magnetic actuators and sensors.
