Finite Element Analysis of Electrical Machines Summary

Finite Element Analysis of Electrical Machines by Sheppard J. Salon

In Finite Element Analysis of Electrical Machines the author covers two-dimensional analysis, emphasizing the use of finite elements to perform the most common calculations required of machine designers and analysts. The book explains what is inside a finite element program, and how the finite element method can be used to determine the behavior of electrical machines. The material is tutorial and includes several completely worked out examples. The main illustrative examples are synchronous and induction machines. The methods described have been used successfully in the design and analysis of most types of rotating and linear machines.
Audience: A valuable reference source for academic researchers, practitioners and designers of electrical machinery.
