This research work has been triggered by an industrial project aimed at modelling and manufacturing a small-scale very high speed motor. Very high speed electrical motors offer the main advantage of reducing the size of a system. Indeed, at constant output ...
The intrinsic characteristic of a permanent magnet synchronous motor is defined by its internal dimensions, its material properties, as well as the power supply used in conjunction with the motor. When an extended operating range is desired but the electro ...
This work studies the level-set based topology optimization for the optimal layout of winding in electric motor. The functional to optimize is to maximize the torque in the air-gap. The coil domain is initiated by a level set function. The time evolutionar ...
Energy saving becomes more and more important. Therefore different improvements have been made in motor design, electronic devices and software in order to increase the overall efficiency of electronic motor drives. Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMS ...
This paper introduces a promising technique, called the first-pulse technique, for detecting the rotor position of a brushless DC motor at standstill. The technique is based on the B-H hysteresis characteristics of the stator iron. Depending on the rotor p ...

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to develop a contactless torque measurement methods. The need for low-weight, high-efficiency and high-power density motors has led to an increased research and development activity in the field of very high speed (VH ...
Stepper motors are a very convenient and economical solution for accurate positioning applications where long lifetime and low wear are required. Their particularly simple open-loop operation reduces the number of control components to a minimum. However, ...
The induction motor offers the best value for money and is therefore used in many different application fields where power requirements are higher than a few kilowatts. ln order to be able to reduce the priee and the motor's size, a control algorithm based ...
In this work, isogeometric mortaring is used for the simulation of a six-pole permanent magnet synchronous machine. Isogeometric mortaring is especially well suited for the efficient computation of rotating electric machines, as it allows for an exact geom ...
From September-December 2017, the Mathematical Biosciences Institute at Ohio State University hosted a series of workshops on control theory in biology and medicine, including workshops on control and modulation of neuronal and motor systems, control of ce ...
