In this paper, the overhang structure was applied to the axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) motor. This paper describes the overhang effect in the AFPM motor. Moreover, the overhang effect was analyzed according to the different overhang length and an optimal overhang structure was proposed. Finally, the proposed structure was applied to design, analysis and experiment of prototype motors. Through the comparison between 3D finite element analysis results and experimental ones, the validity of proposed structure is clarified.

In this paper, the effect of permanent magnet overhang structure on the characteristics in Brushless DC motor has analyzed quantitatively. We classified the overhang structure as symmetric and asymmetric. 3D equivalent magnetic circuit network (EMCN) method which uses the permeance as the distributive variable is used for the efficient analysis of magnetic field. The overhang effect which increases the linkage flux at the stator is verified by comparison between overhang and no overhang structure. In addition, it is known that no load back electro motive force (EMF) is also increased due to the overhang effect. In case of asymmetric overhang structure, the ratio effect of the upper to lower overhang length on the magnetic forces is analyzed. Form the analysis results, the variation of the asymmetric overhang ratio has a significant effect on the axial magnetic force except the radial and tangential magnetic forces. The validity of the analysis results is also clarified by comparison between calculated results and measured ones such as back EMF and cogging torque.

This paper shows a new magnetic field analysis of an interior permanent magnet (IPM) machines with an axial overhang structure wherein the rotor axial length exceeds that of the stator. The rotor overhang used to increase torque density of the radial flux machine is difficult to analyze because of extra consideration of axial direction, and thus it is general for machine designer to take 3-D finite element analysis (FEA) capable of considering both radial and axial complicated geometry in the machine. However, it requires too much computing time for preliminary design especially for optimization process. Therefore, in this paper a 2-D analytic method using a lumped magnetic circuit model (LMCM) is proposed to overcome the problem. For the analysis of overhang effect, the magnetic circuit is separated and solved from overhang and non-overhang regions respectively. For the validation of proposed concept, 3-D finite element analysis (FEA) is performed. From the analysis results, it is shown that our new proposed method presents good performance in terms of calculating electromotive force (EMF) and torque within a short time. Therefore, the proposed model can be useful in design of IPM with an overhang structure.

This paper shows the characteristic analysis of single-phase line start permanent magnet (LSPM) motors considering the overhang structure. To achieve the low-cost design of an LSPM motor, the overhang structure is adapted for the rotor with a constraint of a fixed magnet volume. To obtain the dynamic and steady performance of the motor, the circuit parameters are extracted using the 3D-static FEM(Finite Element Method) and the d-q equivalent circuit is used. The performance of the model with overhang is compared with the conventional model without overhang on the condition that both models have a fixed volume for the permanent magnet.

The characteristic of line start permanent magnet(LSPM) motor with overhang structure is analyzed using 3dimensional finite element method(3D FEM). We propose the appropriate overhang length by considering the magnetic flux distribution according to changing overhang length and manufacturing process. 3D FEM analysis is inevitable because the increase of the total flux cannot be appropriately considered in 2D FEM. In equal model specification total flux is recalculated at 3D FEM, because of considering lamination length. This paper compares the characteristic of Back-emf with and without overhang by permanent magnet that has identical volume.

This paper deals with the characteristic analysis of small power brushless DC (BLDC) motor considering the rotor magnet overhang flux. In the driving characteristics analysis using 2D FEA (Finite Element Analysis), the rotor magnet overhang effect can't be considered and it should be neglected. To consider rotor magnet overhang effect, 3D FEA should be required. But 3D FEA requires very long calculation time even though the high specification computer is used. In this paper, the 3D electromagnetic model of BLDC motor is approximated as the 2D electromagnetic model considering overhang effect. In this paper, the concept of overhang coefficient is applied, and the coefficient according to load torque variance is deduced.

This paper shows the characteristic analysis of single-phase LSPM(Line Start Permanent Magnet) synchronous motor considering overhang structure. To obtain the dynamic and steady performance of the motor, the D-Q equivalent circuit is used and the circuit parameters are extracted by 3D FEM. The performance of the model with overhang is compared with conventional model without overhang on the condition that both models have the same volume of the permanent magnet.

The rotor overhang is used to enhance the air-gap flux and improve the power density. Due to the asymmetry in the axial direction caused by the overhang, a time consuming 3D analysis is necessary when designing a motor with overhang. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an equivalent magnetic circuit model (EMCM) which takes account overhang effects without a 3D analysis by using effective air-gap length. The analysis time can be reduced significantly via the proposed EMCM. A reduction in the analysis time is essential for a preliminary design of a motor. In order to verify the proposed model, a 3-D finite-element method (FEM) analysis is adopted. 3-D FEM results confirm the validity of the proposed EMCM.

The overhang structure of photoresist in optical lithography was studied for the metallization of GaAs-related devices throughout lift-off method. Optical contact aligner with a dose of 8.5 m J/cm\ulcornerand with a wavelength of 300mm was used for ultraviolet exposure of single layer of S1400-27 photoresist. The overhang thickness shows a linear relationship with the soaking time in monochlorobenzene, which its magnitude becomes high at elevated softbake temperature. Such process conditions as a low softbake temperature, a long monochlorohbenzene soaking time and a little exposed energy make the development rate of photoresist lower. The optimum process conditions to obtain a target line-width, which include an appropriate overhang structure such as complete separation between the sidewall of photoresist pattern and the deposited metal edge, are determined as the softbake temperature of 64-74\ulcornerC, the monochlorobenzene soaking time of 10-15min, the ultraviolet exposure time of 70-100sec and the development time of 50-80sec.

The purpose of three-dimensional (3-D) metal printing using 5-axis is to deposit metal powder by changing the orientation of the deposited structure to be built for the overhang or undercut feature on part geometry. This requires a complicated preprocess functionality of providing three dimensionally sliced layers to cover the required part geometry. This study addresses the overhang/undercut problem in 3-D metal printing and discusses a possible solution of providing 3-D layers to be built using the DMT(R) machine.
