When a rotor is simultaneously rotated and translationally moved above an aluminum guideway a traveling time-varying magnetic field is created in the air-gap. This field induces eddy currents in the guideway that can simultaneously create suspension and propulsion or breaking forces. The field and forces created by this moving rotor are modeled using a novel 2D analytic based A-⌽ method in which the rotor field is incorporated into the boundary conditions of the guideway. The model accuracy is verified using finite element analysis.

The performance of a variable speed, direct-drive synchronous generator wind turbine concept is compared for two grades of electric steel applied for the generator stator core lamination. A ring type, radial flux permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is modelled. For a fixed mechanical power input, the geometry of the PMSG is optimized for each material to maximize the annual energy yield. The energy yield is calculated based on the power curve of the generator and the probability density function of the wind speed. This function is approximated by the Weibull distribution for a site with average wind speed of 7 m/s. The annual efficiency differs more than 2% between the two optimized generators, which use different grades of material.

A new numerically efficient global optimization algorithm utilizing grid computing technique and surrogate objective function (SOF) is developed. The algorithm combines particles swarm optimization (PSO) with a SOF constructed by using Multi-quadric radial basis function. For the computation of the objective function values for sampling points, grid computing technique is adopted employing the same number of personal computers connected to Internet with that of the sampling points.

In this paper, torque characteristics analysis of synchronous reluctance motor by winding function theory is described. The stator is same as one of the induction motor but rotor have two differential geometries of the flux barrier to reduce the torque ripple. The flux barriers were designed by optimization algorism considering torque ripple. Inductances for the separate part of the rotor were calculated by using the winding function theory. Stator currents and torque were obtained by means of the magnetic circuits. From the comparison with results of finite element analysis the proposed method was verified.

This paper presents the optimal design method of cage-bars in a single-phase line-start permanent magnet synchronous motor. This method consists of two procedures. First, the basic design of cage-bars is made by analytic method of an induction motor. But, this method cannot consider nonlinear characteristic as magnetic saturation and leakage flux. Therefore, at second step, for considering the nonlinear characteristics, the optimal design of cage-bars is performed by the response surface method (RSM) and Pattern Search Algorithm (PSA).

In the last decade, the study of methodologies for heating biological tissue has been an area of most interest in biology and medicine. As a result, the number of electrode solutions has grown in the past years. In this work, we study the capability of using a tubular electrode for heating biological tissue. To test this possibility, liver samples ex-vivo were used and numerical simulations were made. The final results were compared and revealed satisfactory and promising use of tubular electrodes for this kind of application.

Eddy currents induced in a conductor in a changing magnetic field produce a damping force proportional to the heat generated in the conductive material. In the DC linear motor system, the conductive plate is added under coils for damping force to improve motor's dynamic response. In the preliminary work, the formula of magnetic field distribution is obtained by the method of images, so the eddy current inducted in the conductor is calculated. Then the damping force is obtained after the equivalent resistance and inductance of conductance place are calculated. The design of eddy current damping for short-stroke DC linear motor is optimized by the formula of damping force, and obtains the speed of mover when maximal damping force is induced.
