A category of permanent-magnet-shield (PM-shield) axial-field dual-rotor segmented switched reluctance machines (ADS-SRMs) are presented in this paper. These topologies featured by using the magnetic material to shield flux leakage stator and rotor parts. Besides, deployed magnets weaken saturation iron core, thus increasing main flux. Hence, torque-production capability can be increased effect...

Axial-flux permanent magnet synchronous machine (AFPMSM) enjoys the merits of high torque density and efficiency, which make it one good candidate in direct-drive application. The AFPMSM is usually analyzed based on three-dimensional finite element method (3D FEM) due to its magnetic field distribution. However, 3D FEM suffers large amount calculation, time-consuming not suitable for optimizati...
