This paper proposes a Model predictive control (MPC) for linear induction motor drive. Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a strong method for controlling drives of the linear induction motor. In comparison with the Direct Force Control (DFC), MPC is more precise and more effective in the selection of the voltage vector. The results show that this control method has a better performance in comparison...
This study investigates the effect of different skewing methods and angles for switched reluctance machines (SRM) having high pole count using multiphysics simulations. A 24/16 SRM is modeled for each skewing method and different skewing angles using 3D electromagnetic finite element analysis (FEA). Mechanical and acoustical analyses are performed to evaluate the effectiveness of different skewing...
This paper proposes a system that can actuate itself with wirelessly received power. The system consists of two coils with different purposes; the power-receiving coil wirelessly receives power from the external sinusoidal magnetic field, and the actuation coil controls the current for 1D self-actuation. The actuation current has a square waveform and is controlled to be in phase with the external...
This paper proposes a new family of electric motors based on the concept of an airgap-less device with an internal rotor. The internal flux and therefore electromagnetic torque is maximized because the rotor is allowed to touch the stator. The proposed family of motors are competitive in applications where hydraulic motors are prevalent, i.e., low-speed and high-torque requirements. Furthermore, the...
Stator and translator pole width have a great effect on the LSRM's performance. However machining error and assembly error usually cause some dimensional difference among stators and translators. Thus a speed control method immune to dimensional difference is proposed for a four-phase linear switched reluctance motor (LSRM) with different pole width in this paper. The LSRM designed in such a structure...
Switched reluctance motor (SRM) has great application potential in in-wheel motor electric vehicle (IWM-EV) due to its advantages, such as a high starting torque for initial acceleration, a wide operating speed range and high efficiency to extend the battery service life.

The in-wheel motor electric vehicle (IWM-EV) is an overwhelming tendency in modern automobile due to its unmatched advantages. However, the new structure of IWM-EV which packets driving motor in wheel will induce the new problems, e.g. motor unbalanced radial force and airgap deformation of driving motor, etc. For the IWM-EV performance, these new problem is one of the major concerns. Taken switched...
This paper describes the prediction and prevention of losing steps in helical teethed linear actuator (HTLA) for artificial muscle. When the rapid external force is applied to the HTLA, it becomes a state of losing steps. Therefore, it is important to predict and prevent this phenomenon. First, we clarified the phenomenon of losing steps in the HTLA by using numerical simulation with 3-D FEM. Next,...

In order to reduce noise and vibration in switched reluctance motors (SRM), many kinds of commutation methods have been proposed. One of them is well-known as 2-stage commutation method. However, it has a defect which is revealed particularly when SRM is operated at high speed and high load condition. In this study, through the magnetic-structural coupled analysis using FEM and the mathematical analysis...
