Analysis of cogging torque by finite element methods.

Finite Element Analysis of Cogging Torque in Low Speed Permanent Magnets Wind Generators

This paper deals with the finite element estimation of cogging torque oscillations that occur in multipole permanent magnets synchronous wind generators. The numerical analysis is carried out using a 2D plane-parallel finite element model of the machine and afterward a more elaborated 3D model able to take into account the skewing of the stator slots. The numerical results are discussed and com...

Geometry Design of Switched Reluctance Motor to Reduce the Torque Ripple by Finite Element Method and Sensitive Analysis.

Cogging Torque Control in Brushless Dc Motors

During the past five years, cogging torque in HDD spindle motors has decreased drastically as designers and manufacturers have developed a better understanding of the cogging phenomenon. This paper examines various methodologies of cogging torque reduction. Timing techniques such as dead zones and tooth notching, smoothing techniques such as sinusoidal magnetization, and geometric techniques su...

Electromagnetic field analysis of novel low cogging force, linear switched reluctance motor, based on 2-D finite element method

This paper deals with electromagnetic design and 2-D (two-dimensional) magnetic field analysis of novel low force ripple linear switched reluctance (LSR) motor. The configuration that has been presented here has a higher number of rotor poles than stator poles, and the purpose of this configuration is to improve the force ripple, which is the weak point of LSRMs. In order to illustrate the ...

Finite Element Methods for Convection Diffusion Equation

This paper deals with the finite element solution of the convection diffusion equation in one and two dimensions. Two main techniques are adopted and compared. The first one includes Petrov-Galerkin based on Lagrangian tensor product elements in conjunction with streamlined upwinding. The second approach represents Bubnov/Petrov-Galerkin schemes based on a new group of exponential elements. It ...
