A study of end turn inductance calculation of BLDC motors
This paper presents the different calculating methods of stator end turn leakage inductance at brushless dc motors (BLDC) with different winding types. The calculations are carried both analytically and numerically. The results of the two dimensional (2D) calculations have been compared with the results of three dimensional (3D) ones for the same motor. Finite Element Method (FEM) is used for 2D and 3D numerical analysis.
End Turn Leakage Reactance of Concentrated Modular Winding Stators
When considering common methods of calculating the end turn reactance of concentrated modular windings, significant effects are seen due to the presence of core iron that are not accounted for in many methods. Experimental study and 3-D Finite Element work is carried out to accurately model end turn reactance. A method of accurately predicting end turn reactance with significantly reduced solving and modeling time is developed and tested against experimental results. A parameterized equation is then developed allowing the calculation of end turn reactance for any concentrated modular winding configuration within the prescribed limits. Finally, a method of reducing end turn reactance through the use of concentric coils is developed.
Investigations of dielectric gratings using electrodynamic models based on volume integral equations
Eigenmodes of planar and cylindrical dielectric gratings (DGs) and electromagnetic wave scattering from multiplayer DGs are investigated. The DG characteristics are calculated using numerical-analytical solution of integral equations (IEs).
