Comparison of motor stator teeth built of soft magnetic composite and laminated silicon steel sheets in an axial flux permanent magnet synchronous machine
This paper compares the iron losses generated by the concentrated excitation windings for the axial flux permanent magnet synchronous machine stator core elements constructed with laminated silicon steel sheets and soft magnetic composites. The two types of eddy current losses for laminated silicon steel sheets are taken into account. A 3D nonlinear finite element method in the time domain is used to calculate all flux density distributions for various frequencies and different magnitudes. Experimental measurements are also performed to validate the 3D model
A Structural Analysis of Field/Circuit Coupled Problems Based on a Generalised Circuit Element
In some applications there arises the need of a spatially distributed
description of a physical quantity inside a device coupled to a circuit. Then,
the in-space discretised system of partial differential equations is coupled to
the system of equations describing the circuit (Modified Nodal Analysis) which
yields a system of Differential Algebraic Equations (DAEs). This paper deals
with the differential index analysis of such coupled systems. For that, a new
generalised inductance-like element is defined. The index of the DAEs obtained
from a circuit containing such an element is then related to the topological
characteristics of the circuit's underlying graph. Field/circuit coupling is
performed when circuits are simulated containing elements described by
Maxwell's equations. The index of such systems with two different types of
magnetoquasistatic formulations (A* and T-) is then deduced by showing
that the spatial discretisations in both cases lead to an inductance-like
element

o lugar e o papel das línguas nas cosmologias indígenas e no campo da
educação indígena, escolar ou tradicional, numa perspectiva intercultural.
Trata-se de uma versão do trabalho apresentado no Seminário Ibero-
Americano de Diversidade Linguistica organizado pelo Ministério da
Cultura, por meio do IPHAN, em 2014. Sublinho minha limitação quanto
ao tema, por não ser lingüista nem pesquisador de línguas indígenas. Minhas
considerações baseiam-se em vivência prática, como falante de uma língua
indígena, educador e militante da luta por educação escolar indígena e pelos
direitos indígenas de um modo mais amploDepartamento do Patrimônio Imaterial do Iphan; Diretoria de Relações Internacionais do Ministério da Cultura; Universidade de Integração Latino-Americana (Unila); Itaipu Binacional e da Secretaria Geral Ibero-americana (Segib
An efficient steady-state analysis of the eddy current problem using a parallel-in-time algorithm
This paper introduces a parallel-in-time algorithm for efficient steady-state
solution of the eddy current problem. Its main idea is based on the application
of the well-known multi-harmonic (or harmonic balance) approach as the coarse
solver within the periodic parallel-in-time framework. A frequency domain
representation allows for the separate calculation of each harmonic component
in parallel and therefore accelerates the solution of the time-periodic system.
The presented approach is verified for a nonlinear coaxial cable model
Automated Netlist Generation for 3D Electrothermal and Electromagnetic Field Problems
We present a method for the automatic generation of netlists describing
general three-dimensional electrothermal and electromagnetic field problems.
Using a pair of structured orthogonal grids as spatial discretisation, a
one-to-one correspondence between grid objects and circuit elements is obtained
by employing the finite integration technique. The resulting circuit can then
be solved with any standard available circuit simulator, alleviating the need
for the implementation of a custom time integrator. Additionally, the approach
straightforwardly allows for field-circuit coupling simulations by
appropriately stamping the circuit description of lumped devices. As the
computational domain in wave propagation problems must be finite, stamps
representing absorbing boundary conditions are developed as well.
Representative numerical examples are used to validate the approach. The
results obtained by circuit simulation on the generated netlists are compared
with appropriate reference solutions.Comment: This is a pre-print of an article published in the Journal of

Isogeometric Analysis and Harmonic Stator-Rotor Coupling for Simulating Electric Machines
This work proposes Isogeometric Analysis as an alternative to classical
finite elements for simulating electric machines. Through the spline-based
Isogeometric discretization it is possible to parametrize the circular arcs
exactly, thereby avoiding any geometrical error in the representation of the
air gap where a high accuracy is mandatory. To increase the generality of the
method, and to allow rotation, the rotor and the stator computational domains
are constructed independently as multipatch entities. The two subdomains are
then coupled using harmonic basis functions at the interface which gives rise
to a saddle-point problem. The properties of Isogeometric Analysis combined
with harmonic stator-rotor coupling are presented. The results and performance
of the new approach are compared to the ones for a classical finite element
method using a permanent magnet synchronous machine as an example
Coupled Simulation of Transient Heat Flow and Electric Currents in Thin Wires: Application to Bond Wires in Microelectronic Chip Packaging
This work addresses the simulation of heat flow and electric currents in thin
wires. An important application is the use of bond wires in microelectronic
chip packaging. The heat distribution is modeled by an electrothermal coupled
problem, which poses numerical challenges due to the presence of different
geometric scales. The necessity of very fine grids is relaxed by solving and
embedding a 1D sub-problem along the wire into the surrounding 3D geometry. The
arising singularities are described using de Rham currents. It is shown that
the problem is related to fluid flow in porous 3D media with 1D fractures [C.
D'Angelo, SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis 50.1, pp. 194-215, 2012]. A
careful formulation of the 1D-3D coupling condition is essential to obtain a
stable scheme that yields a physical solution. Elliptic model problems are used
to investigate the numerical errors and the corresponding convergence rates.
Additionally, the transient electrothermal simulation of a simplified
microelectronic chip package as used in industrial applications is presented.Comment: all numerical results can be reproduced by the Matlab code openly
