Calculations of magnetic field in dynamo sheets taking into account their texture

Abstract

Abstract Magnetic measurements have shown that the most dynamo steel sheets have certain anisotropic properties, which are due to the presence of textures in these sheets. These anisotropic properties have been taken into account usually in a simplified way assuming that iron particles of the dynamo sheets have only one axis of the easy magnetization. In the proposed approach, these particles are treated as grains which have three axes of the easy magnetization, and therefore the magnetization processes can be considered along each of these axes. These processes depend on the actual value and on the direction of the field strength and also on textures occurring in the given dynamo sheet. A method which allows calculations of the field distribution as a function of the assumed changes of external currents is described in this paper.
