Most electrical machines like motor, generator and transformer are symmetric in terms of magnetic field distribution and mechanical structure. In order to analyze these problems effectively, many coupling techniques have been introduced. This paper deals with a coupling scheme for open boundary problem of symmetric and periodic structure. It couples an analytical solution of Fourier series expansion with the standard finite element method. The analytical solution is derived for the magnetic field in the outside of the boundary, and the finite element method is for the magnetic field in the inside with source current and magnetic materials. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it retains sparsity and symmetry of system matrix like the standard FEM and it can also be easily applied to symmetric and periodic problems. Also, unknowns of finite elements at the boundary are coupled with Fourier series coefficients. The boundary conditions are used to derive a coupled system equation expressed in matrix form. The proposed algorithm is validated using a test model of a bush bar for the power supply. And the each result is compared with analytical solution respectively.

Instead of multi-phase ac current, the magnetic field travels spatially through mechanical rotation of permanent magnets at the electrodynamic wheel (EDW). Traveling of magnetic field generally leads to a generation of inductive force in the traveling direction. In this paper, we suggest a spiral EDW to travel the magnetic field in the axial direction of the conductive rod. So, it is possible to levitate and transfer the rod through multi-axial forces by the spiral EDW. However, physical dimensions of permanent magnets constituting EDW influence relative ratios between three-axial forces generated on the rod. Therefore, the sensitivity analysis for design parameters is performed using FEM analysis. The stable operation is verified experimentally.

LDM(Linear DC Motor) are used in high speed, high-precision position control system. Because of these advatages, LDM has already used in the motor of pen-recorder, magnetic-disk devices. Under the limited dimension, we propose the design method of LDM by magnetic circuit. In this paper, a relation between the thrust constant and size of a LDM that is moving coil type with unipolar is described, which is defined as a simple relational equation. To maximize the rate of thrust to the volume of LDM, the magnetic flux density in the yoke is adjusted to the value of magnetic equation By the magnetic field analysis(FEM), the validity of the equation is confirmed.

The single phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) has many merits; simple structure and driving circuits, easy operation and speed control, and etc. This paper presents the torque characteristics of disk type single phase SRM by changing the salient pole lengths and pole arcs. The prototype single phase SRM has a three dimensional magnetic flux pattern because of its structure. That is, the radial and axial magnetic flux contributes to torque generation. Thus, 3D analysis is required for computation of its magnetic field. In this paper, 3D FEM is used for analyzing the magnetic flux distribution and magnetic co-energy.

This paper presents a new structure for the universal motor using soft magnetic composite (SMC). The stator for this new type of motor is made by combination of the SMC pole and the silicon steel yoke. The shape of the 3D SMC pole is designed to minimize ohmic loss and amount of stator coil. To design the pole shape, the 3D analysis in the design procedure is replaced with an equivalent 2D analysis. Finally, the optimal shape is analyzed by 3D FEM and the performance is discussed.

This study tries to test and analyze the static friction torque generated by an electromagnetic clutch. Then the torque is improved by optimizing the shape of armature. For the purpose of design change and optimization of the electromagnetic clutch, the static friction torque prediction is very important. We construct an axi symmetric FEM model for analyzing the static friction torque and used a torque tester for evaluating the real torque. For a test, predicted static friction torque is compared with the experimental one to discuss the rationality of torque analysis process. The analytical result agrees well with experimental data, explaining the validity of the mathematical process and FEM model. After confirming the torque analysis process, the optimization process is investigated. The optimization result shows that the static torque is improved by changing the armature shape.

The superconducting synchronous motor or generator mostly has high permeability iron only around outer yoke portion. Therefore, if excitation voltage (Back E.M.F) is calculated from 2 dimensional magnetic field distributions, it can be largely different from actual value due to additional voltage originated from end coils. In order to calculate the excitation voltage more accurately, 3 dimensional magnetic field calculation is necessary for including the end coil effect from large air-gap structure. The excitation voltage can be calculated by stator (armature) coil linkage flux originated from rotor (field) coil excitation, but it is difficult to calculate the flux linkage exactly because of complicated structure of the stator coil. This paper shows a method to calculate the excitation voltage from 3 dimensional magnetic energy that can be calculated directly from volume integration of magnetic flux density and field intensity scalar product through FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis software.

Recently, usage of electric and electronic system for car increases rapidly. Consequently power monitoring supplied to the system is essential for management and controlling. Generally, battery status is monitored through measuring and diagnosing the current measurement method utilizing Hall Effect. Therefore, in this paper, we analysed magnetic field to develop the solution of DC current sensor using Hall Effect which is the core of design and development. By analysing the magnetic field by FEM using Maxwell 3D software, the location of the highest output current and stable part in the Hall IC sensor was shown. Also, the optimal core design of DC current sensor using parametric and Simplex method was presented. A car battery charge and discharge process dependant on time effect on the changing of magnetic field was simulated and compared to the result from the experiment result of actual vehicle.
