Hysteresis Modelling of Soft Magnetic Materials using LabVIEW Programs

Abstract

The paper deals with an analytical model for hysteresis cycle representation. The hysteresis curve is decomposed in a series of arcs of circles and segments of lines. Each arc of circle or segment of line is expressed using analytical geometry as a function of some given parameters or calculated ones. The easiness of the model proposed is given by the small amount of input data needed to represent the hysteresis cycle in a satisfactory way. Using an inverse mapping function from major hysteresis branches the minor cycles, reversal curve of the first kind or curve of first magnetization can be obtained. Finally a comparison between the measured data and modelled ones was made.
