Solenoid DCPMM

The document discusses linearized models for energy transduction in electro-mechanical systems like solenoids and electric motors. It shows that both can be modeled as a combination of ideal elements - a gyrator, inertia, and capacitor. Specifically: 1) A solenoid's nonlinear multiport model can be linearized and represented as a gyrator connecting an inductor and spring in a bond graph. 2) This is analogous to the linearized model of an electric motor, showing the fundamental principles of energy transduction are the same. 3) The multiport model provides deeper insight beyond simpler models and shows how devices may deviate from ideal gyrator behavior, exhibiting properties like parasitic

LINEARIZED ENERGY-STORING TRANSDUCER MODELS

Energy transduction in an electro-mechanical solenoid may be modeled by


an energy-storing multiport.

Energy transduction in an electric motor may be modeled by a gyrator.

But the fundamentals of energy transduction are the same in both.
How can these different models be reconciled?
Linearizing the nonlinear multiport constitutive equations reveals their
relation.

LINEARIZED SOLENOID MODEL
A gyrator relates power variables (effort and flow)
A multiport energy storage element relates power and energy variables
(effort and momentum, flow and displacement)

The inductor has differential causality because the solenoid model has
differential causality on the electrical port.

SOLENOID MODEL VS. DC MOTOR MODEL
The linearized multiport solenoid model is a combination of ideal gyrator,
ideal inertia and ideal capacitor
From the electrical port the multiport IC “looks like” an inertia (inductor)
—hence the inertia (inductor)
From the mechanical port the multiport IC “looks like” a capacitor (spring)
—hence the capacitor (spring)

WHY THE GYRATOR?
the multiport IC contains a "hidden" gyrator.
A more detailed solenoid model has
a gyrator for the electromagnet
a multiport capacitor for the magnetic field.

WHY BOTHER WITH THE MULTIPORT MODEL?
—the inertia-gyrator-capacitor model is arguably simpler.
THE MULTIPORT MODEL OFFERS DEEPER INSIGHT
—and that’s the main purpose of modeling.

Nonlinear behavior is common in electro-magnetic transduction.


The inertia-gyrator-capacitor model is a linearized approximation.

A typical DC permanent-magnet motor is cunningly designed with many coils


and a commutation system (mechanical or electrical) that switches current from
one coil to another as the motor rotates so that each coil operates in a range
where its behavior is close to linear under most conditions.

The inertia-gyrator-capacitor model is one decomposition of the multiport


IC.
Other multiport decompositions may be defined.

THE MULTIPORT MODEL SHOWS HOW THE DEVICE MAY DEVIATE FROM IDEAL
GYRATOR BEHAVIOR.

A "parasitic" inductance may be expected because a solenoid (or motor)


operates by creating a magnetic field.
It is probably less obvious that a "parasitic" spring may be expected.
THE MULTIPORT MODEL SHOWS THAT FORCE (OR TORQUE) DEPENDS ON ARMATURE
DISPLACEMENT (IN GENERAL).

In general, any electromagnetic transducer may exhibit “spring-like”


behavior.
In special circumstances, the apparent stiffness may be zero
—e.g., ko = 0 if xo = xc/ 2
In fact, despite cunning design, position-dependent force (torque) is one of the
more noticeable forms of non-ideal DC motor behavior—usually termed
“cogging torque”.

REMARK:
Any transduction device may serve as an actuator or as a sensor. A solenoid is
one of the commonest linear actuators. An LVDT (linear variable differential
transformer) uses a displacement-modulated inductance change to measure
position.
