Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) are increasingly being used and are required to satisfy noise and vibration specifications. Thus, it is necessary to develop design guidelines for electric motors that consider ...

Fault mode and effects analysis (FMEA) has been used during decades for analysing the effects of faults in different applications. Initially, FMEA based on risk priority numbers provided information about the effects in ...

The fractional slot permanent magnet synchronous machines are well-known for their low torque ripple. However, in mass-production machines, not all the permanent magnets are identical due to the manufacturing tolerances ...

The demand for electric machines has increased in the last decade, mainly due to applications that try to make a full transition from fuel to electricity. These applications encounter the need for tailor-made electric ...

The need to manufacture more competitive equipment, together with the emergence of the digital technologies from the so-called Industry 4.0, have changed many paradigms of the industrial sector. Presently, the trend has ...

Induction machines have been key components in the industrial sector for decades, owing to different characteristics such as their simplicity, robustness, high energy efficiency and reliability. However, due to the stress ...

Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis tools are the most adopted in the design of brushless alternating current motors due to the advantage of considering multi-physics effects with dependencies of variables such as ...

This paper presents an electromagnetic design alternative using the so-called banana-shaped magnets, achieving magnet weight reduction of 21.82% for the same performance as the baseline motor in the case study. Typically, ...

Due to the increasing importance of reliability and availability of electric traction drives in Railway applications, early detection of faults has become an important key for Railway traction drive manufacturers. Sensor ...

The applications using electric motors have increased in the last decade. Some of these applications encounter the need for tailor-made motors that must meet demanding requirements. Therefore, the specification stage of ...
