This is along the same lines as my previous post, but different enough to start a new thread.
I've got a solenoid that is controlled by a PWM driver. I am creating a dynamic model of a valve actuator and I am including a very simple model of the PWM driver and solenoid in the analysis.
I've...
I am a mechanical engineer trying to understand how a solenoid works. I always thought the EE's had it easy. I mean a resistor is pretty linear in comparison to a hydraulic orifice. Apparently I have found an electrical non-linearity I don't understand.
I have a 12V DC solenoid. The...
