In high-speed solid-rotor induction machines, space harmonics in the air gap flux density corresponding to stator slots typically cause significant losses on rotor surface. Since these slot rotate very fast with respect rotor, their skin depths are small. Loss estimates obtained by transient finite-element (FE) analysis may, therefore, require fine spatial and temporal discretization consequently long solution time. this paper, we derive a time-harmonic analytical model for multilayer...

Precise modeling of the magnetic field in coil wire an electric machine often becomes a major challenge: with high number turns and small penetration depth, degrees freedom exceeds reasonable limits any standard approximation method. approximation, however, is critical, e.g., to reliable loss estimation. Hence, there call for specialized approximative methods. This paper presents method time-harmonic computations 2-D problems. We replace by lattice polygonal plane fillers span...

This paper is about finite element kind of modeling movement in electromechanical devices, especially rotating electrical machines. The presented approach relies on geometry and manifolds. With an appropriate choice charts, the spatial temporal discretizations become decoupled, which implies that mesh no longer restricts allowed time steps. However, standard basis functions elements are not always powerful enough to support large changes rotation angle, therefore case thin air gaps,...

The study of metal nanoparticles and metamaterials has increased the demand for accurate efficient numerical methods solving electromagnetic scattering problems. boundary element method, especially its Poggio-Miller-Chang-Harrington-Wu-Tsai (PMCHWT) formulation, received growing interest lately due to accuracy stability at plasmon resonance conditions.

We study systematical detection of the state variables for a quasi-static coupled circuit-field problem, which may consist several disjoint domains both field problems and electric networks. translate relevant questions about coupling into linear algebraic problems, i.e., use homology theory. This enables us to express variable problem with readily programmable computable concepts.
In numerical field analysis of steady states electrical machines, frequency-domain methods are often much faster than time-domain methods. Frequency-domain techniques involve simplifications that impact their accuracy on harmonic effects due to slotting, saturation, and time harmonics in winding currents. The nature these inaccuracies relationship air-gap is not well covered the literature. Correct prediction can be based careful use spectral Dirichlet-to-Neumann mappings generalized slip...
Manifolds offer a generalisation to the modelling procedure, where domain of an electromagnetic boundary value problem is subset particular coordinate system. First all, instead identifying points with coordinates, manifolds implement principle that coordinates are not canonical. Second, in deliberately bound by distances between they represent. Finally, manifold does need be coverable single system, but several. These basic properties make it possible choose system or systems alleviate mesh...

Time-domain finite element methods (FEM) are widely used for numerical solution of boundary value problems (BVP) arising from rotating electrical machines. Typically, the equations corresponding to discretizations rotor and stator solved simultaneously every time step, together with that couple them during rotation. We present a method reformulating subproblems in time-domain BVPs into implicit Neumann conditions determined by spectral Dirichlet-to-Neumann mappings. Thus, FE reformulated...

For further accuracy enhancements, combining measurements additional constraints proposed. This way, we model sensor errors, known limit...
