3D h‐ϕ finite element formulation for the computation of a linear transverse flux actuator

Abstract

A finite element analysis of a permanent magnet transverse flux linear actuator is presented. In this application where we need a small model (for optimisation purposes) as well as a high accuracy on the computed force, we propose to combine several models with different levels of size and complexity, in order to progressively elaborate an accurate, but nevertheless tractable, model of the system.
