Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of underwater giant magnetostrictive electroacoustic transducers, and in particular to a method for obtaining the transient response of an underwater giant magnetostrictive electroacoustic transducer. Background Technology

[0002] Giant magnetostrictive electroacoustic transducers are core equipment in marine exploration and underwater communication systems. The giant magnetostrictive rod driving the transducer undergoes magnetostrictive strain under magnetic field excitation, propelling a mass block to vibrate underwater and generate sound. Currently, most research on electroacoustic transducers is based on linear mechanical impedance models in the frequency domain, failing to reflect the transducer's time-domain response characteristics. Influenced by dynamic losses and the material's magnetomechanical properties, the dynamic magnetization process of giant magnetostrictive materials exhibits significant nonlinearity, easily causing distortion of the radiated sound waves. Therefore, it is necessary to study the transient electro-magnetic-mechanical-acoustic coupling characteristics of giant magnetostrictive transducers. Currently, the main models describing the magnetization of giant magnetostrictive materials include constitutive models, the Jiles-Atherton (JA) model, and the Preisach model. Among these, the JA model's formulas have clear physical meaning and can describe hysteresis loops under dynamic conditions, thus it is widely used in modeling magnetic material devices. To describe the magnetomechanical coupling characteristics of giant magnetostrictive materials, some scholars have proposed models relating the material's magnetostrictive strain ε to magnetization intensity, stress, and temperature, which can simulate the material's nonlinear output. To address the mechatronic characteristics of giant magnetostrictive electroacoustic transducers, many scholars have established mechanical impedance models to describe the frequency response of the transducers. To further describe the transient electroacoustic conversion process of the transducer, it is necessary to link the nonlinearity at the material level with the overall mechanical vibration law of the transducer, and establish a comprehensive transient response model of the electroacoustic transducer to describe its input-output characteristics in the time domain.

[0011] S6. Based on the segmentation of the Terfenol-D rod in step S1, establish an n-order Multi-DOF model of the transducer oscillator; derive the mechanical impedance circuit of the transducer oscillator based on the "mechanical-electrical analogy method"; then, respectively, the front mass block and the rear mass block of the transducer are equivalent to a single-degree-of-freedom first-order vibration model, and the mechanical impedance circuits of the front mass block and the rear mass block are derived based on the "mechanical-electrical analogy method"; connect the equivalent mechanical impedance circuits of the front and rear mass blocks to the mechanical impedance circuit of the transducer oscillator, and introduce the acoustic radiation impedance of the radiation surface of the front mass block underwater to construct a multi-order mechanical impedance model of the giant magnetostrictive electroacoustic transducer, and derive the matrix equation of the multi-order mechanical impedance model based on the loop current method;

[0012] S7. The magnetostrictive force F calculated in S5 i Substituting into the matrix equation, the instantaneous vibration velocity u of the radiation surface at the current time point can be solved. r Then use the formula

[0014] S8. Set the input current of the underwater giant magnetostrictive electroacoustic transducer to I0 = 1A, the input frequency f to the operating frequency, and the sound wave receiving distance d to 1m. Calculate the instantaneous sound pressure at the underwater distance d meters from the transducer's radiating surface using steps S1-S7, and substitute the maximum sound pressure over multiple cycles into the formula TCR = 20log(|P(d)| / I0) + 120 to calculate the transducer's emission current response TCR at the operating frequency.

[0015] S9. Using step S8, calculate the TCR of the transducer at different input frequencies and plot the "frequency-TCR" curve to obtain the emission current response curve of the giant magnetostrictive electroacoustic transducer in the operating frequency band.

[0016] A further improvement is made to the calculation of the bias magnetic field strength in step S1, which is as follows:

[0017] First, a finite element model of the giant magnetostrictive transducer is established in COMSOL software, setting material parameters including Terfenol-D rods, permanent magnets, coils, and front and rear mass blocks. Then, a physical field study of the "Magnetic Field" is added, and "Ampere's Law" is added to define the geometric domain, selecting all permanent magnets. In this "Ampere's Law" setting, the magnetization model of the "Constituent Relation BH" is set to "Remanent Flux Density," and the vacuum permeability μ0 and recovery permeability μ of the permanent magnets are input. rec Residual magnetic flux density B r Meanwhile, the direction vector of the magnetic flux is defined to be parallel to the axial direction of the rod, and the governing equations of the model are:

[0019] A free triangular mesh is added to divide the finite element model, and the maximum element size of the mesh is set to be smaller than the minimum gap size of the finite element model. A "steady-state" study step is then added, and the simulation model is run to calculate the magnetic field distribution inside the transducer. Points at different mesh locations are selected in the simulation results, and the bias magnetic field H at these points is read. bias.i , i = 1, 2, ..., n.

[0020] In a further improvement, the calculation steps for the alternating magnetic field strength in step S2 are as follows:

[0021] When the excitation coil is placed in a cylindrical coordinate system, according to the Biot-Savart law, when the input current is i = Isin(ωt)A, the infinitesimal circular current with radius r on the coil produces the following alternating magnetic field dH at the spatial point (0,0,z). ac :

[0025]

[0026] Substituting the positions of different segments on the Terfenol-D rod into the above formula, the AC magnetic field strength H at these positions can be calculated. ac.i , i = 1, 2, ..., n.

[0027] Further improvements, in step S3, include the following specific modeling steps for the improved JA model considering bias magnetism and stress:

[0028] The relationship between magnetostrictive strain λ, magnetization M, temperature T, and stress σ is:

[0029]

[0030] Where λ0(σ) represents the magnetostrictive strain caused by stress, λ s M represents saturation magnetostrictive strain. s T Represents the temperature-dependent saturation magnetization, β is the thermo-magnetic coupling coefficient, and ΔT = TT. r For temperature difference, T r T represents the spin reorientation temperature of Terfenol-D. c Represents the Curie temperature of Terfenol-D; under the set working stress of the Terfenol-D rod, using the formula...

[0031] Calculate the value of λ0(σ), σ s This represents the stress corresponding to the saturation of magnetic domain rotation.

[0032] Using formula Calculate the effective magnetic field strength H inside Terfenol-D e Where α is the molecular field coupling coefficient and μ0 is the vacuum permeability;

[0033] Under the combined excitation of the coil and the permanent magnet, the magnetic field strength contains a bias component H. bias and the communication component H ac The magnetization generated by the excitation also has a bias component M. bias and the communication component M ac :

[0034] H = H bias +H ac M = M bias +M ac

[0046] Based on the bias component M of the magnetization bis and the communication component M ac Using the formula M = M bis +M ac The dynamic magnetization intensity M at the current time point is calculated.

[0047] Further improvements, in step S6, the specific modeling steps for the mechanical impedance model of the giant magnetostrictive electroacoustic transducer are as follows:

[0048] The dynamic behavior of the Terfenol-D rod is described using the Multi-DOF model, and the motion of each segment of the Terfenol-D rod is expressed by the following equations of motion:

[0049]

[0050] Where x i x represents the displacement of the i-th segment. i-1 M represents the displacement of the previous segment. i K represents the equivalent quality of the current segment. i K represents the stiffness of the current segment. i-1 C represents the stiffness of the preceding segment. i C represents the mechanical damping of the current segment. i-1 F represents the mechanical damping of the previous segment. i F represents the force generated in the current segment. i-1 This represents the force generated in the previous stage;

[0051] Under sinusoidal excitation, each segment of the Terfenol-D rod can be considered as undergoing simple harmonic motion, with the displacement of each segment being: x i =|x i |e jωt The vibration velocity is u i =jω|x i |e jωt Then we have the following formula:

[0052]

[0053] The above equation is equivalent to a circuit using the "mechanical-electrical analogy" method. In the circuit, the current represents the vibration velocity and the voltage represents the force, thereby establishing the mechanical impedance circuit of the transducer oscillator.

[0054] In the underwater super-magnetostrictive electroacoustic transducer, the front mass block is the main acoustic radiation component, and the circular end of the front mass block that contacts the water is the radiation surface of the transducer. Based on the "mechanical-electrical analogy" method, the mechanical impedance circuit of the front mass block is described by the following formula:

[0055]

[0056] Where M h u represents the equivalent mass of the pre-mass block. h u represents the vibration velocity of the front mass block. PM2 K represents the vibration velocity of the permanent magnet. h C represents the stiffness of the pre-mass block. h Z represents the mechanical damping of the front mass block. r ω represents the acoustic radiation impedance of the front mass block, and ω represents the angular velocity.

[0057] The mass of the rear mass is much greater than that of the front mass, and the rear mass has a weaker ability to vibrate and produce sound underwater. Therefore, the mechanical impedance circuit of the rear mass can be described by the following formula:

[0058]

[0059] Where M t For the equivalent mass of the subsequent mass block, u t Let K be the vibration velocity of the rear mass block. t For the stiffness of the rear mass block, C t For the mechanical damping of the rear mass block, K PM1 For the stiffness of the permanent magnet, u PM1 C is the vibration velocity of the permanent magnet. PM1 For the mechanical damping of permanent magnets;

[0060] By connecting the mechanical impedance circuits of the front mass block and the rear mass block to the nth-order mechanical impedance circuit of the oscillator, and connecting the acoustic radiation impedance in parallel after the front mass block, a multi-order mechanical impedance model of the giant magnetostrictive electroacoustic transducer is obtained:

[0061] Based on the loop current method, a solution matrix for the mechanical impedance model is constructed, and the instantaneous vibration velocity u of the radiating surface is obtained using the solution matrix. r :

[0062]

[0063] Among them, F i Let u be the output force of the i-th segment. i Let be the vibration velocity of the i-th segment. t e PM1 e i e n e PM2 e h The coefficients of the matrix can be obtained using the following formula;

[0064]

[0065] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0066] This invention proposes an improved JA model considering bias magnetic fields and prestress. The classic JA model can effectively simulate the magnetization of ferromagnetic materials under different frequency inputs, and the formulas have clear physical meaning. This invention, by introducing bias components and stress factors into magnetization, derives an improved expression for the dynamic JA model under bias and stress conditions, and calculates the non-uniform magnetization of materials based on the improved JA formula. Compared with existing JA models, the improved JA model can describe the asymmetric magnetization curves of ferromagnetic materials under various bias states without changing the physical mechanism of the original JA theory. This invention also proposes a method for calculating the transient response of electroacoustic transducers based on a mechanical impedance model. By introducing the non-uniform magnetization of Terfenol-D materials into the multi-order mechanical model of the transducer and incorporating the acoustic radiation impedance of a circular radiating surface, the solution matrix equation of the model is derived. This allows the model to calculate the transient response process of the electroacoustic transducer considering material nonlinearity, and uses formulas to calculate the instantaneous sound pressure distribution. Furthermore, the source level of the transducer at that frequency point is calculated based on the maximum sound pressure over multiple cycles. Compared with existing impedance models for electroacoustic transducers, this method incorporates field nonuniformity and material nonlinearity into the impedance model, enabling the model to better describe the output nonlinearity in the time domain. At the same time, the model retains the frequency response characteristics of the mechanical impedance model, i.e., simulating the current response of the transducer in the frequency domain. These features allow the established model to more effectively describe the actual input-output characteristics of the transducer and better guide transducer design. Attached Figure Description

[0121] Step 6.1: In S1, the Terfenol-D rod has been divided into several segments, and its dynamic behavior can be described using the Multi-DOF model. In this model, the motion of each segment of the Terfenol-D rod is expressed by the following equation:
