A method is proposed to comprehensively study the eddy and circulating current losses of stator winding wound by multiple parallel strands, further improve power density iron coreless permanent magnet brushless DC (PMBLDC) motors. Analytical models in are deduced firstly explicitly express influencing factors these two losses. As shown, mutually contradicting. While loss can be greatly reduced ...

Rolling element bearing defects are among the main reasons for the breakdown of electrical machines, and therefore, early diagnosis of these is necessary to avoid more catastrophic failure consequences. This paper presents a novel approach for identifying rolling element bearing defects in brushless DC motors under non-stationary operating conditions. Stator current and lateral vibration measur...

This paper describes the design and development of Blimp Based Air Vehicle with the ability to perform vertical take-off and landing that can serve the purpose of surveillance in an area dangerous for humans. The design uses vectored thrusting to propel the blimp. Software is developed for visualizing the mechanical design of the blimp given its design parameters. The blimp is then developed by...

Due to their simple structure, high efficiency, fast dynamic response, Permanent Magnet Brushless DC (PMBLDC) machines are extensively used in automation, consumer electronics, electric vehicles and medical and industrial applications. Availability of these high energy density permanent magnet materials enhances the performance of PMBLDC motor drive and also reduces the size and losses in these...

Direct Torque Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors With Non-Sinusoidal Back-EMF. (May 2008) Salih Baris Ozturk, B.S., Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey; M.S., Texas A&M University, College Station Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Hamid A. Toliyat This work presents the direct torque control (DTC) techniques, implemented in fourand six-switch inverter, for brushless dc (B...

This paper presents the overall review of torque ripple reduction techniques in brushless DC motors (BLDC) and different multilevel inverter topologies suitable for BLDC motor drives. BLDC motors are widely used for household applications due to its features of high reliability, simple frame, high efficiency, fast dynamic response, compact size and low maintenance, etc.. The switches are electr...

Abstract eVTOLs are receiving a lot of attention as potential solution to urban air mobility challenges. Many configurations multirotors, which open loop unstable, therefore very susceptible actuator failures. Due their usually short mission duration (20-30 min), fault-tolerance the propulsion system is greater importance then reliability. Thus, novel approaches enhance this capability required...
