Application of advanced numerical methods for the characterization of the steady-state and dynamic characteristics of electromechanical energy conversion devices including solenoids, synchronous, induction, and permanent-magnet machines.
Learning Outcomes1Apply basic concepts of vector calculus to quantify and correlate the physical variables of electromagnetic fields.
2Interpret Maxwell's equations in the context of electric machinery.
3Recognize how variational calculus can be used to reformulate the partial differential equations governing the magnetic field.
4Solve linear and nonlinear quasi-magnetostatic problems of electromechanical energy conversion devices numerically using the finite element method.
5Develop custom-made software for conducting finite element analysis of electric machinery.
