Magnetic Field Prediction in Cubic Spoke-Type Permanent-Magnet Machine Considering Magnetic Saturation

In this article, a nonlinear semianalytical model (SAM) is presented to predict the magnetic field distribution (MFD) and electromagnetic performances (EPs) in the cubic spoke-type permanent magnet (PM) machine. To model the rectangular PMs, the rectangular PM is simplified as a combination of fan-shaped regions with different arc angles....

Cooperative lane-changing in mixed traffic: a deep reinforcement learning approach

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has made remarkable progress in autonomous vehicle decision-making and execution control to improve traffic performance. This paper introduces a DRL-based mechanism for cooperative lane changing in mixed traffic (CLCMT) for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). The uncertainty of human-driven vehicles (HVs...

Hybrid Analytical Model for AC Copper Loss Computation of Hairpin Winding

This article proposes a hybrid analytical model (HAM) for predicting ac copper losses in hairpin windings. The HAM combines the nonlinear semi-analytical model (SAM) and the 1-D ac copper loss computation model to solve the inaccurate boundary solutions of the 1-D ac copper loss computation model when magnetic saturation occurs in the stator...

Magnetic Field Prediction of U-shaped Interior Permanent Magnet Motor Considering Magnetic Bridge Saturation

In this article, a new analytical model for predicting the magnetic field of the U-shaped interior permanent magnet motor (IPMM) is proposed. In the polar coordinates, rectangular permanent magnets are equivalent to the combination of consistent fan-shaped subdomains, and after that, the Laplace or Poisson equation of each solution domain can...

Ca-modified Al–Mg–Sc alloy with high strength at elevated temperatures due to a hierarchical microstructure

Al-Mg alloys are normally prone to lose part of their yield and tensile strength at high temperatures due to insufficient thermal stability of the microstructure. Here, we present a Ca-modified Al–Mg–Sc alloy demonstrating high strength at elevated temperatures. The microstructure contains Al₄Ca phases distributed as a network...
