In this paper, a new optimum design method is proposed for the linear induction motor(LIM). The Genetic Neural Network(GNN) is introduced in the optimum design of LIM and the simulation result is compared with the Genetic Algorithm(GA) and Neural Network(NN). The maximum thrust and trust/weight are selected as the object functions. The comparison showed that the proposed method is better than GA and NN.

In the present paper, the mover speed control of a linear induction motor (LIM) using a sliding mode control design is proposed, considering the end effects. First, the indirect field-oriented control LIM is derived, considering the end effects. The sliding mode control design is then investigated to achieve speed- and flux-tracking under load thrust force disturbance. The numerical simulation results of the proposed scheme present good performances in comparison to that of the classical sliding mode control.

This paper presents the characteristics analysis of an electromagnetic pump using the linear induction motor(LIM). The electromagnetic pump can be used to transfer the molten metals by the electromagnetic force of LIM. The characteristics of the pump are analyzed solving a hydrodynamic equation with an electromagnetic one.

A Linear Induction Machine(LIM) is the motor which is developed from an rotary induction machine. Usually, the electromagnetic field of an LIM is analyzed by Maxwell's equations. The structure of an LIM is different from a conventional rotary machine, an LIM has some particular characteristics such as the end effects. Hence, the mathematical analysis of an LIM is very complicated and the implementation of the equivalent model is difficult. In this paper, the dynamic equations and the equivalent model of a Double-sided short primary LIM(DLIM) is obtained by the winding function and a d-q theory. The validity of the proposed methodology is verified by numerical analysis.

In this paper the instantaneous thrust of a linear induction motor(LIM) with cage-type secondary is estimated by the line voltages and phase currents measurement when the LIM is fed by PWM inverter. The estimated thrust values according to various input frequencies are compared with the measured ones.

In this paper, induced voltages of the secondary conductors of a linear induction motor(LIM) with cage-type secondary are measured and analyzed when the LIM is fed by PWM inverter. The attenuation constant of the induced voltage of the secondary conductors near entry and exit zones of the the travelling magnetic field are determined from the experiment results.

The input voltage of linear Induction motors(LIMs) is involved with the time harmonics because most LIM is driven by inverter. Therefore the equivalent circuit for an inverter-fed LIM has to be modifided to represent every harmonic present in supply voltage. This paper describes that the dynamic characteristic can be used effectively for analyzing the characteristics of a linear induction motor position and speed control.

The indirect vector control method is generally used for variable speed control of induction motor, due to its excellent response characteristics. However, this is very sensitive to the variation of motor parameters caused by temperature rise and magnetic saturation and so on. Linear induction motor(LIM) has asymetric phase circuit parameters because of its special phenomena, end effects. So this paper describes on the method that identifies the circuit parameters using neural network in the vector control of LIM.

A linear induction motor for urban railway transit is accompanied with the end-effect and large air-gap comparing with a rotary induction motor. These cause amount of difference between simulation results and experiments. In order to figure out the difference, experiments based on a real-scale test bed are indispensable, however building a test-line and a test vehicle is so difficult that authors are going to make a small-scale model and simulate it for comparison. In this paper, A rotary-type small-scale model of a linear induction motor is designed. Thrust and normal force of the model have been analyzed with the variation of frequency and speed by using a Finite Element Method(FEM).

The end effect of a linear induction motor (LIM) has been known for several decades, especially in high speed operation. The exit part of the primary is not dealt as extensively as the entry part because of its minor effect. However, the exit part is one of the keys to weaken the dolphin effect, which occurs in high speed operation. In this paper, the concept of the virtual primary core is introduced, and chamfering of the primary outlet teeth is proposed to minimize the longitudinal end effect at the exit zone. For this, LIM for the high-speed train is designed and analyzed by using finite element method. Results confirm that chamfering can improve thrust performance effectively.
