Dynamic Analysis of Scroll-Actuator Using 3-D Finite Element Method

Abstract

In this paper, an auto-mesh coupling method for 3-D finite element analysis is proposed to analyze the dynamic characteristics of a magnetic applied actuator. This method is applied to a scroll-pump actuator which revolves without actually rotation itself. The effectiveness of this method is verified through the comparison with the measured results. This method is also applied to two different types of scroll-actuators in order to clarify their characteristics.
