S. Mandayam et al., A FAST ITERATIVE FINITE-ELEMENT MODEL FOR ELECTRODYNAMIC AND MAGNETOSTRICTIVE VIBRATION ABSORBERS, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 30(5), 1994, pp. 3300-3303
This paper presents a finite element model for simulating electrodynam
ic and magnetostrictive vibration absorber systems. The model employs
a decoupled formulation to compute motion induced voltages in a magnet
omechanical coupled system. The model is first validated by comparison
with experimental measurements. An application of the model for optim
ization of the system damping performance using model predictions, is
presented. The model is also used to calculate the frequency response
of a magnetostrictive actuator.
