The paper deals with two types of optimisation problem: optimised source distribution and the shape optimum design, using continuum design sensitivity analysis (CDSA) in combination with standard electromagnetic (EM) software. Fast convergence and compatibility with existing EM software are the distinctive features of the proposed implementation. To verify the advantages and also to facilitate ...

The initial results of a research aimed at investigating to what extent high resolution encoders, which are getting available for common industrial motion control and robotics applications, can be exploited to compensate for non linear friction terms are presented in this paper. The 22 bits resolution sensor used allowed a neat analysis of the dynamic behavior of friction forces in the preslidi...

A dynamic model including non-idealities for a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) is postulated and verified. The non-idealities acting on the physical linear motor are measured and analyzed. These experimental results are utilized in the model. The verified simulation model is used in developing a force disturbance compensator for the velocity controller of the motor. The force ...
