This paper aims to investigate the approach combine the deep learning (DL) and finite element method for the magneto-thermal coupled problem.

In this paper, a surrogate model base on deep learning (DL) is proposed to predict the hysteresis loops of ferro-magnetic materials. The databases of hysteresis loops were measured on the MPG200D Brockhaus equipment with an Epsteinframe. In order to reduce the experimental cost and accelerate measurements, a surrogate model based on the convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed. First, presenting the measurement results in the form of 256× 256 × 1 images and extract the 6 most characteristic parameters, namely peak magnetic flux density, frequency, maximum magnetic field strength, remanence, coercivity, and the area of the hysteresis loop. All these physical parameters are taken as the label in the supervised DL process. These labe linformation are normalized to form a Gaussian distribution image of 256× 256 × 3 as the input, and the corresponding B-H curve is the output. Using image-to-image CNN U-net, once the network is effectively trained, the hysteresis loops under other excitation parameters can be predicted without further measurement. Our numerical examples show that the prediction results agree well with the measurement results. The sensitivity of CNN for hysteresis loops prediction with respect to the hyperparameters are investagted. A set of empirical hyperparameter configurations isput forward to guarantee an efficient convergence. This research shows that the proposed approach can be an efficient tool to predict the hysteresis loop of ferromagnetic materials under different circumstances, which can potentially contribute to nonlinear hysteresis FEM computation.
