Finite Element Formation For The Numerical Solution Of Three-Dimensional Nonlinear Magnetostatic Field Problems As Applied To The Design Of Electric Machinery, Mulukutla S. Sarma Feb 2012

Finite Element Formation For The Numerical Solution Of Three-Dimensional Nonlinear Magnetostatic Field Problems As Applied To The Design Of Electric Machinery, Mulukutla S. Sarma

Sarma Mulukutla

Recent years have witnessed considerable research activity in the application of digital-computer methods for the determination of the electromagnetic fields in electrical machinery through the solution of Maxwell's equations, while taking full account of the magnetic saturation. Two distinct numerical approaches are evident in the literature: Finite-Difference Method and Finite-Element method. The author has presented in the recent years a finite-difference formulation for 3-dimensional numerical solutions of the nonlinear electromagnetic field problems in terms of potential functions, and has applied for the analysis of the end-zone fields of aerospace homopolar alternators and solid-rotor induction motors. The present work is directed …
