Abstract
In this paper we present 2 simplified methods for the evaluation of magnetisation loops in laminated SiFe alloys, using the Preisach theory and the statistical loss theory. These methods are investigated in detail as a practical alternative for a very accurate, but much involved numerical approach, viz a combined lamination model – dynamic Preisach model earlier developed by the authors. Particularly, one of the 2 methods provides accurate results inspite of a dramatic reduction of the CPU-time in comparison with the earlier developed combined model. For the other simplified method, the reduction of CPU-time is less pronounced but still considerable and the results are fairly good.
