Besides that, poor braking performance is another problem. Hence, in the present study, to improve the braking performance, an MR drum brake has been designed which can operate in shear mode and shear plus compression mode. To minimize the off-state viscous torque, some small permanent magnets have been placed in the brake shoes of the present MR brake. The magnetic field and particle tracing simulations have been performed. Again, the proposed MR drum brake has been tested on two–three wheelers brake inertia dynamometer, and its braking performance has been studied in the present study. The use of magnets not only reduces the off-state viscous torque but also helps in enhancing the braking performance of MR brake.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":366,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials","volume":"628 ","pages":"Article 173171"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144115658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using conventional powder metallurgy, magnets with varying B contents (0.88–1.02 wt%) were fabricated, and DyH<sub>3</sub> was used as a diffusion source for grain boundary diffusion (GBD) treatment. The mechanisms by which B content influences magnetic performance, grain boundary phase distribution, and Dy diffusion efficiency were analyzed. The results show that increasing B content reduces the coercivity (<em>H</em><sub>cj</sub>) of the initial magnets from 13.88 kOe (0.90 wt% B) to 12.16 kOe (1.02 wt% B), while significantly improving remanence (<em>B</em><sub>r</sub>) and maximum energy product ((<em>BH</em>)<sub>max</sub>). The magnets with low B content (0.90 wt% B) exhibit high <em>H</em><sub>cj</sub> due to the suppression of the magnetic coupling effect between the ferromagnetic initial grains by continuous grain boundary phases. After GBD treatment, the 0.95 wt% B magnets show the greatest increase in <em>H</em><sub>cj</sub> (6.04 kOe), while maintaining high <em>B</em><sub>r</sub> (12.85 kGs) and excellent temperature stability (<em>β</em><sub>20-120</sub> = −0.553 %/°C). Microstructural analysis reveals that continuous grain boundary phases in the magnets with low B content provide efficient pathways for Dy diffusion, though excess CeFe<sub>2</sub> phases may hinder the diffusion process. In the magnets with high B content, fewer grain boundary phases force Dy to diffuse via less efficient lattice pathways, limiting the diffusion depth. The study confirms that 0.95 wt% B magnets, after Dy diffusion, exhibit the best overall performance, providing theoretical support for the development of low-cost, high-coercivity Ce-containing magnets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":366,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials","volume":"628 ","pages":"Article 173165"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143937583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent developments in magnetic materials with Curie temperatures near room temperature have opened new avenues for TMM applications. However, the performance characteristics of these materials are often underexplored. This study presents a comprehensive experimental methodology for evaluating the heat transfer, force generation, and operational dynamics of TMMs. Using gadolinium (Gd) as the test material, due to its well-established thermomagnetic properties, the study examines the force variation as a function of temperature and position within the motor, as well as the temperature evolution over time for different cycle periods. The effect of fluid flow configuration was also assessed, showing that counterflow increases the temperature difference (<em>ΔT</em>) by 50 to 400% compared to parallel flow, depending on the cycle period. Additionally, for the same <em>ΔT</em>, the counterflow configuration reduces the half-cycle duration by up to 45%, thereby increasing the motor’s potential power output. These findings provide valuable insights into the optimization of TMM operation, highlighting the importance of fluid flow direction in enhancing thermal performance and power efficiency.

The vibration energy is dissipated by the stator floating structure. Taking permanent magnet synchronous linear motor (PMSLM) as the research object, the nonlinear dynamic modeling of a floating stator linear motor is established based on the compression displacement between the rubber damping module and the floating stator as the segmentation criterion. The influence of stiffness, damping, preload displacement, and mass on the vibration of the linear motor base is studied by numerical simulation. The finite element simulation of the magnetic field and flux of the fixed and floating stator states is carried out with the help of Maxwell software. The adverse effects caused by the floating stator are equivalent to bounded disturbances, and a PID sliding mode controller with a finite-time disturbance observer is proposed.

The first measurements of magnetostriction of a low carbon steel under biaxial stress have been reported in Hubert et al. (2023).

Developing an efficient connection between the magnetic field and the release point will lead to greater drug delivery efficacy at the desired location and reduce the number of input particles to the unfavorable location.
