In this paper, a stator-separated axial flux-switching hybrid excitation synchronous machine (SSAFHESM) is presented, of which the structure and operational principle are introduced. The magnetic field distribution under different excited currents is analyzed, and some characteristics including flux-linkage, EMF and field control ability are studied by finite element analysis (FEA). Tests are carried out on a 12/10-pole prototype machine to validate the analysis results, and an excellent agreement is obtained.

A new type of piexoelectric membrane traveling wave motor has been designed and forbricated. The small motor is composed by the stator which is the combination of annular/circular membrane and metal elastic base using as the common electrode at some time and the rotor which is placed on the metal elastic body. Thus the motor structure is simple and easy to fabricate. The material of a piezoelectric membrane is fabricated by sol-gel method or wear-down method. A piezoelectric traveling wave motor has been fabricated with the stator diameter 8mm The total thickness of the stator is 350$\mu$m. Under the alternative excitation voltage 10-12V the revolving speed of the rotor is more than 100RPM.

In this paper, 200-class insulation system for form-wound stator coils is designed for form-wound stator coils is designed for AC traction driven with VVVF inverter. Model coils are made to embody all essential elements representing a winding insulation system and structure. Acceleration degradation for model coils is applied exposure to heat(235$^{\circ}C$). In order to investigate the condition of the coils and to determine their insulation reliability, high voltage test and the dielectric properties such as dielectric loss and capacitance are performed. Also, partial discharge measurement is investigated for internal defects.

This paper investigates an improved stator flux linkage observer for sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives using a voltage-based flux linkage model and an adaptive sliding mode variable structure. We propose a new observer design that employs an improved sliding mode reaching law to achieve better estimation accuracy. The design includes two models and two adaptive estimating laws, and we illustrate that the design is stable using the Popov hyper-stability theory. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed estimator accurately calculates the speed, the stator flux linkage, and the resistance while overcoming the shortcomings of traditional estimators.

A three-phase 6/8 structure Switched Reluctance Motor drive, the construction of the stator and the rotor. in the motor, the scheme of the rotor position detector and the main circuit of the power converter are described. The range of the stator pole arc factor and the rotor pole arc factor of the motor are analyzed in the linear region. The optimum range of the stator pole arc factor and the optimum range of the turn-off angle of the main switches in the power converter are given with the 2-D finite element electro-magnetic field calculation of the motor and the nonlinear simulation. Test jesuits of the developed prototype are discussed.

A novel 12/10 axial field switched reluctance motor (AF-SRM) is proposed for cooling fan applications in this paper. Unlike from conventional structures, the proposed motor uses the axial field instead of the radio field, the rotor is constructed from a series of discrete segments, and the stator poles are constructed from two types of stator poles: exciting and auxiliary poles. This concept improves the torque capability of a previous design by reducing the copper volume, which leads to a higher efficiency. To verify the proposed structure, the finite element method (FEM) and Matlab-Simulink are employed to get characteristics of the proposed SRM. Finally, a prototype of the proposed motor was tested for characteristic comparisons.

The interaction of electromagnetic forces and mechanical structure of switched reluctance motors(SRM) is the major cause of the noise and vibration. The stator part in SRM produces the most vibrations. Therefore, it is necessary to know the natural frequencies of the stator. In this paper, the variation of natural frequencies according to the design parameters is investigated to avoid the resonance. The natural frequency of the tested motor is founded by the frequency response function obtained by a experimental modal analysis.

The modification of magnetic structures for an E-core switched reluctance machine (SRM) comprising two segmented stator cores or a monolithic stator core is presented for ease of assembly, good manufacturability, mechanical robustness, and electromagnetic performance improvement. The E-core stator has four small poles with phase windings and two or four large poles (hereafter referred to as common poles), in between. The common poles are shared by both phases for positive torque generation during the entire operation. The E-core SRMs are compared to a conventional two-phase SRM. The comparison includes cost savings, torque, copper and core losses, and efficiency in order to validate the distinct features of the E-core SRMs. Magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) technique is employed for proving the benefits of the E-core common-pole structure.

Complete dryness inside the stator is a necessary and sufficient condition for the leak test. Microcracks caused by high cycle fatigue due to operation are generated in stator windings, and they are interrupted by water molecules during the leak test. For this reason, during leak test, the wrong value is indicated when there are no leaks in stator windings. Generator manufacturers presents unique dryness judgment criteria for the leak test, but there is no actual criterion that accurately indicates the dryness point for the leak test. The reason is because stator winding has a complex structure and the absence of effective dryness equipment in power plants. This paper proposes a dryness judgment criterion to evaluate if inside the stator winding is dried completely and presents experimental results.

Flow through turbomachinery has a very complex structure and Is Intrinsically unsteady. In addition, trend to highly loaded turbomachinery makes the flow extremely complex due to the interaction between rotor and stator. In this study, flows through UTRC LSRR turbine are numerically analyzed using 2 dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The convective terms of the governing equations are discretized using the Van-Leer's FVS(Flux vector splitting) with an upwind TVD scheme. The conventional central differencing is used to discretize the diffusion terms on the finite volume. The accurate unsteady motion is achieved by using a 2nd order accurate, 3-point Euler implicit scheme. The quasi-conservative zonal scheme is used for calculating the flow variables on the zonal interface between the rotor and stator. The axial gap between stator and rotor has been configured in two variations, 15% and 65% of average chord length. The analysis program is validated using experimental results and the effect of axial gap is examined. The numerical analysis results are presented by time averaged pressure coefficient and pressure magnitude coefficient and compared with experimental results.
