The title says it all. 6 things you might not know about finite element analysis, but should. A bit tongue-in-cheek, but still valid info.
SMEKlib update
The SMEKlib library (open-source FEA for electrical machines in Matlab) just received a huge update. Here’s a brief rundown, plus associated rambling.
Late 2017 Review
No matter what happened globally, on my personal level 2017 was a great year. Here’s a short rundown of the highlights, and what’s next.
Stability of Torsional Vibrations
Torsional vibrations lead to oscillations in the electromagnetic torque, too. These may dampen the vibrations, but they may also do the exact opposite.
Torsional Vibrations in Electrical Machines
Of mechanics in electrical machines, torsional vibrations are often the most critical. Read here to learn the basic principles, and how to analyze them.
Vibrations in Electrical Machines
Vibrations in electrical machines can be divided into several categories, differing on the mechanism and type of vibrations produced.
Second-Order Finite Elements – Why, How, and When
You may have seen the term “second-order finite elements” mentioned once or twice. But what are they really, and where are they used? Read to learn.

Circulating and Eddy-Current Losses in Random-Wound Electrical Machines
A brief introduction to my doctoral thesis titled “Circulating and Eddy-Current Losses in Random-Wound Electrical Machines”.
Getting my Doctoral Degree (Tech.) just about now
D.Sc. time. Soon. Hi folks! Just a brief, wholly me-centric post about, well, me today. Long story short: I recently successfully defended my doctoral thesis last Friday (15 September 2017). So, I should be officially getting my degree later this…
