Analytical Modeling of Misalignment in Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Machine

This paper proposes an analytical model for the prediction of air gap magnetic field distribution for axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine with various types of misalignments. The AFPM machine geometry is first transformed to a polar representation. Consequently, the subdomain model based on current sheet technique is developed. Then...

General Analytical Modeling for Magnet Demagnetization in Surface Mounted Permanent Magnet Machines

This paper proposes an analytical model for the prediction of airgap magnetic field distribution for axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine with partial magnet demagnetization. The AFPM machine geometry is first converted to a polar representation. Consequently, the subdomain model based on current sheet technique is developed. Then...

Analytical Field and Torque Analysis of a Reaction Sphere

In recent years, the increasing need in small satellite solutions triggers the miniaturization of attitude control systems. Reaction spheres were proposed as promising replacements of conventional reaction wheels for their 4π rotations. Since the generated control torques could be about any desired axes, a single reaction sphere is sufficient...
