Both the cogging and electromagnetic torques depends on the shape of the flux density distribution in the airgap region. A two-dimensional (2-D) analytical method for predicting the open- circuit airgap field distribution in brushless permanent magnet motors, considering the direction of magnetization, i.e., radial or parallel, and the effect of real shape of stator slot-openings is presented i...

This paper describes the concept of a multilayer brushless DC motor which is suitable for use on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and capable carrying heavy payload. The deals with unique structure, using three standard stators placed in parallel single rotor body, to increase torque even under low-speed conditions. In this solution, nine inner windings can different star/delta interconnections ...

A new torque control strategy for brushless motors with minimum torque ripple and minimum copper losses while maintaining the phase currents under magnetic (or current) saturation is presented. The optimal control { a nonlinear map from desired torque and position to the motor's phase currents { is the closed form solution to a quadratic programming problem. Experimental results demonstrate vir...

Multi-domain dynamic simulation is becoming an issue in the design of high performance mechatronic systems, where advances are foreseen only if the mutual interaction of different parts of the system is well understood. The modelling environment provided by DYMOLA with Modelica language proved to be ideal for studying the mutual effects of mechanics, electronics and control in a brushless motor...
