Study on Chaotic Peculiarities of Magnetic-Mechanical Coupled System of Giant Magnetostrictive Actuator

Abstract

We studied the chaotic peculiarities of magnetic-mechanical coupled system of GMA. Based on the working principle of GMA and according to Newton’s second law of motion, first piezomagnetic equation, disk spring design theory, and structural dynamics principle of GMA, the present study established a GMA magnetic-mechanical coupled system model. By carrying out data modeling of this coupled system model, the bifurcation chart of the system with the variation of damping factor, excitation force, and exciting frequency parameters as well as the homologous offset oscillogram, phase plane trace chart, and Poincaré diagram was obtained, and the chaotic peculiarities of the system were analyzed. The influence of parametric errors on the coupled system was studied. The analytical results showed that the oscillation equation of the GMA magnetic-mechanical coupled system had nonlinearity and the movement morphology was complicated and diversified. By adjusting the damping factor, exciting frequency, and excitation force parameters of the system, the system could work under the stable interval, which provided theoretical support for the stability design of GMA.
