Abstract
Results of the experimental determination of the parameters of hysteresis rods made of soft magnetic materials used in passive attitude control systems to damp the perturbed motion of satellites relative to their center of mass are described. Based on the classical solution of the linear magnetization problem and an approximate solution of the problem of nonlinear magnetization in a variable magnetic field, it is shown that the considerable distortion in the experimental determination of the parameters is explained by eddy currents induced in the rods. To mitigate the effect of those currents, it is shown that the measurements must be performed when the frequency of the magnetic fields variation is not higher than 0.1–0.2 Hz. Using nonlinear magnetization theory, a procedure for the experimental determination of the parameters of hysteresis rods is developed. This procedure is augmented by the corresponding computer processing of weak valid signals. The procedure can be used for the choice of the parameters of damping devices included in satellite passive attitude control systems.
