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…
Coarse meshes: Why and How
When analyzing electrical machines, a course, parametric mesh often outperforms a denser mesh. Here’s why, and some progress updates on the topic.
Magnetomechanical Coupling – Physics and FEA Models
The magnetic forces in an electrical machine deform it, and the mechanical stresses influence the magnetics. Read more about this interaction here.
Electric Aircraft
Alright, everyone’s seen electric cars. But what about electric aircraft? Who’s making them, and more importantly: why? Some challenges and benefits here.
Machine Industry Sucks at Recruiting
How to recruit electrical engineers, or any other professionals in short supply. And how almost everybody is failing at that.
Circuit Connections – Why You (often) Shouldn’t Use Current Supply
Current supply is commonly used in finite element analysis of electrical machines. Almost as commonly, that’s the wrong solution.
The 4+1 Types of Convergence
Engineers and mathematicians both love to speak about convergence, often confusing the everloving waste out of each other. Read here to avoid that fate.
Solving TEAM30a with SMEKlib and Comsol
How to solve the TEAM Workshop Problem 30a with SMEKlib, plus a comparison between it and Comsol. This time, SMEKlib was 5 times faster.
