A novel 3D shape optimization algorithm is presented for electromagnetic devices carry-ing eddy current. The algorithm integrates the 3D finite element performance analysis and the steepest descent method with design sensitivity and mesh relocation method. For the design sensitivity formula, the adjoint variable vector is defined in complex form based on the 3D finite element method for eddy current problems. A new 3D mesh relocation method is also proposed using the deformation theory of the elastic body under stress to renew the mesh as the shape changes. The design sensitivity f3r the sur-face nodal points is also systematically converted into that for the design variables for the parameterized optimization application. The proposed algorithm is applied to the optimum design of the tank shield model of the transformer and the effectiveness is proved.

전동기와 같이 가동부를 갖는 전기기기는 힘이나 토크를 발생시키기 위하여 고안되었고, 힘이나 토크는 이들 기기의 해석과 설계에 중요한 요소이다. 지금까지 유한요소법을 이용한 전자력 계산 방법으로는 여러가지 방법들이 제시되어 왔고, 그 중 널리 사용되는 방법으로는 맥스웰 응력법과 가상변위법이 있다. 맥스웰 응력법은 맥스웰 스트레스텐서를 이용하여 표면 전자력 밀도를 구하고 이의 표면 적분으로 전자력을 구하는 방법이고, 가상변위법은 물체에 변위가 일어났을 때 발생하는 에너지의 변화량을 이용하여 전자력을 구하는 방법이다. 전류원이 포함된 문제에서는 정확도를 높이기 위하여 벡터포텐셜을 주로 이용하여 자장해석을 하여 왔으므로 본 논문에서는 유한요소법으로 3차원 자장 문제를 해석한 결과인 자기벡터포텐셜을 맥스웰 응력법과 가상변위법에 적용하여 전기기계의 각 요소의 전자력을 구하는 방법을 제시한다. 제시한 방법의 검증을 위하여 해석 모델을 솔레노이드로 하여 제시한 방법으로 구한 전자력을 3차원으로 해석한 결과와 비교하여 그 유용성을 증명한다.

Magnesium alloy shows strong anisotropy and asymmetric behavior in tension and compression curve, especially at room temperature. These characteristics limit the application of finite element method (FEM) which is based on conventional continuum mechanics. To accurately predict the material behavior of magnesium alloy at microstructural level, a methodology of fully coupled multiscale simulation is presented and a crystal plasticity model as a constitutive equation in the simulation of metal forming process is introduced in this study. The existing constitutive equation for rigid plastic FEM is modified to accommodate deviatoric stress component and its derivatives with respect to strain rate components. Viscoplastic self-consistent (VPSC) polycrystal model was selected as a constitutive model because it was regarded as the most robust model compared to Taylor model or Sachs model. Stiffness matrix and load vector were derived based on the new approach and implemented into $DEFORM^{TM}-3D$ via a user subroutine handling stiffness matrix at an elemental level. The application to extrusion and rolling process of pure magnesium is presented in this study to assess the validity of the proposed multiscale process.

This paper presents a finite element method to analyze the free and forced vibration of a hard disk drive (HDD) considering the flexibility of a spinning disk-spindle with fluid dynamic bearings (FDBs), an actuator with pivot bearings, an air bearing between head-disk interface and the base with complicated geometry. Finite element equation of each component is consistently derived with the satisfaction of the geometric compatibility of the internal boundary between each component. The spinning disk, hub and FDBs are modeled by annular sector elements, beam elements and stiffness and damping elements, respectively. The actuator am, E-block, suspension and base plate are modeled by tetrahedral elements. The pivot bearing in the actuator and the air bearing between head-disk interfaces are modeled by the stiffness element with five degrees of freedom and the axial stiffness, respectively. A global matrix equation obtained by assembling the finite element equations of each substructure is transformed to a state-space matrix-vector equation, and both damped natural frequencies and modal damping ratios are calculated by solving the associated eigenvalue problem with the restarted Arnoldi iteration method. Modal and shock testing are performed to show that the proposed method well predicts the vibration characteristics of a HDD.

This paper deals with a new design method for a small-size rotating machine with high power. In order to achieve high performance, secondary excitation by Nd-Fe-B magnets and the grain oriented electrical steel sheets were selected and a new design using dual rotors is proposed. The outline of the high-performance rotating machine will be presented and the results of the finite element analysis by using this method combined with the E&SS modeling will be shown in the paper.

Gyroscope is a key sensor for inertial navigation system (INS) which is a navigational instrument necessary to guide and control a free vehicle, and an important instrument for defense, aeronautical, and space industries that is and will be actively involved. In this study, design parameters, scale factor and linearity, of torquer which is one of the components of two degree of freedom dynamically tuned gyroscope (DTG) are presented. The magnetic circuit of torquer is so complicated that it is difficult to analyze it with analytic method. Thus these parameters are calculated by using finite element method with analysis of magnetic vector potential for axisymmetric 3-dimension magnetic field.

This paper is to describe a method for calculating resistance of cage rotor end-ring, based on 3-D finite element method using magnetic vector potential $\vec{A}$ and electric scalar potential ${\phi}$. The induced current of a cage rotor flows through the bars of a cage rotor. The current completes their closed paths by passing around the end-ring. The end-ring may contribute a significant influence to the performance of machine. The resistance under consideration of skin effect is calculate by using Joule's loss equation.

This paper presents a triangular-to-quadrilateral mesh conversion method that can control the directionality of the output quadrilateral mesh according to a user-specified vector field. Given a triangular mesh and a vector field, the method first scores all possible quadrilaterals that can be formed by pairs of adjacent triangles, according to their shape and directionality. It then converts the pairs into quadrilateral elements in order of the scores to form a quadrilateral mesh. Engineering analyses with finite element methods occasionally require a quadrilateral mesh well aligned along the boundary geometry or the directionality of some physical phenomena, such as in the directions of a streamline, shock boundary, or force propagation vectors. The mesh conversion method can control the mesh directionality according to any desired vector fields, and the method can be used with any existing triangular mesh generators.

We consider a distributed optimal flux control problem: finding the potential of which gradient approximates the target vector field under an elliptic constraint. Introducing the Lagrange multiplier and a change of variables the Euler-Lagrange equation turns into a coupled equation of an elliptic equation and a reaction diffusion equation. The change of variables reduces iteration steps dramatically when the Gauss-Seidel iteration is considered as a solution method. For the elliptic equation solver we consider the Cell Boundary Element (CBE) method, which is the finite element type flux preserving methods.

This paper presents an improved subdomain method to predict the magnet field distributions and electromagnetic performance of the surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) machines with static or dynamic eccentricity. Conventional subdomain models are either based on the scalar magnet potential to predict the rotor eccentricity effect or dependent on the magnetic vector potential without considering the eccentric rotor. In this paper, both the magnetic vector potential and the perturbation theory are introduced in order to accurately calculate the effect of rotor eccentricity on the open-circuit and armature reaction performance. The calculation results are presented and validated by the corresponding finite-element method (FEM) results.
