    Accurate asymmetrical minor loops modeling with the modified arctangent hysteresis model
    (Elsevier, 2024) Birouche, Chafik; Hamel, Meziane; Nait Ouslimane, Ahmed; Fellag, Ratiba; Zaouia, Mustapha
    In the area of automotive propulsion, electric motors experience core losses due to the presence of higher harmonic frequencies, particularly those arising from pulse width modulation switching. Consequently, it is required to establish a practical model capable of characterizing the hysteresis loops in electrical steel when subjected to harmonic excitations. Nonetheless, existing dynamic models may be inappropriate for real-world applications due to their inherent complexity and their tendency to neglect the influence of minor loops arising from harmonics. In the present work, the minor and major hysteresis curves of non-oriented silicon steel sheets are measured under variable frequency excitation containing harmonic components. To reproduce the asymmetrical minor hysteresis loops, a modified arctangent model is employed. The evaluation of the accuracy of this hysteresis model is conducted by comparing the fitted results of static and dynamic hysteresis loops against experimental data, both with and without harmonic excitation.

    A study of Jiles-Atherton and the modified arctangent models for the description of dynamic hysteresis curves
    (Elsevier, 2022) Hamel, Meziane; Nait Ouslimane, Ahmed; Hocini, Farid
    This paper considers the identification of hysteresis parameters for two different hysteresis models, operated in quasi-static and dynamic behaviors. The extended Jiles-Atherton model via the Bertotti approach and the improved arctangent model are tested and compared. The hysteresis measurement was performed via standard Epstein frame on automotive parts for different magnetization levels and frequencies. The robustness of the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is assessed via a comparison of measured, modeled hysteresis loops, and relative permeability profiles, at various frequencies
