The modular magnetic suspension platform depends on multi degree of freedom of Lorentz force actuators for large bearing capacity, high precision positioning and structure miniaturization. To achieve the integration of vertical driving force and horizontal driving force, a novel 2- (two degrees-of-freedom) DOF Lorentz force actuator is developed by designing the pose of the windings and permanent magnets (PMs). The structure and the working principle are introduced. The electromagnetic force mathematical model is established by the equivalent magnetic circuit method to analyze the coupling of magnetic flux. The distribution characteristics of magnetic flux density are analyzed by the finite-element method (FEM). It is found that the coupling of the magnetic flux and the large magnetic field gradient severely reduce the uniformity of the air-gap magnetic field. The electromagnetic force characteristic is investigated by FEM and measurement experiments. The difference between FEM and experiment results is within 10%. The reasons of driving force fluctuation are explained based on the distribution of air-gap magnetic field. The actuator performance are compared under the sliding mode control algorithm and PID control algorithm and the positioning accuracy is 20 μm and 15 μm respectively. Compared with the similar configuration, the motion range and force coefficient of the Lorentz force actuator in this paper are larger. It has a certain guiding significance on the structure design of the multi degree of freed Lorentz force actuator.

The current investigation explores tri-hybrid mediated blood flow through a ciliary annular model, designed to emulate an endoscopic environment. The human circulatory system, driven by the metachronal ciliary waves, is examined in this study to understand how ternary nanoparticles influence wave-like flow dynamics in the presence of interfacial nanolayers. We also analyze the effect of an induced magnetic field on Ag-Cu-/blood flow within the annulus, focusing on thermal radiation, heat sources, buoyancy forces and ciliary motion.

Article Synopsis
  • A novel noninvasive method combines magnetic and focused ultrasonic fields to create electric fields deep in the brain for potential treatments of mental and neurological disorders.
  • This study tested this method on non-human primates' visual circuits, examining the effects of different ultrasonic pulse frequencies on neural activity.
  • Results showed that low-frequency stimulation (5 Hz) inhibited brain activity, while higher frequencies did not, indicating the importance of pulse frequency in neuromodulation without safety concerns.

The application of a pulsed magnetic field (PMF) during a metallurgy solidification process has proven to be an effective method in refining the grain size and improving the mechanical performance of the material. However, fewer works were reported in the realm of laser additive manufacturing (LAM) and the mechanism of grain refinement consequent to the PMF is still unclear. In this work, numerical models were developed to study the thermal-fluid characteristics in the Ti-alloy melt pool generated during the laser scanning process under the effect of a combined direct current (DC) electric field and PMF.

Magnetic Field-Induced Control of Crystal Orientation in Porous CuNi Films for Enhanced Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Near-Net Forming of Light Metals of Liaoning Province, Dalian Jiaotong University, Dalian 116028, China.

Porous CuNi films are promising candidates for electrocatalytic water splitting, with their catalytic performance largely influenced by the crystallographic structure and chemical state. In this study, by employing a magnetic field-controlled bubble template-assisted electrodeposition method, CuNi films with a preferred Ni(111) crystal orientation were synthesized. Moreover, adjusting the magnetic field direction during deposition can affect the degree of preferred orientation and, consequently, the electrochemical activity of the films.
