Finite element techniques are increasingly used by industry to solve low frequency electromagnetics problems.There is a need to model electromagnetic devices under dynamic conditions, examples of this are the time transient start up under load of a rotating electrical machine or the transient movement of a linear actuator under load. In all these cases the load would not necessarily be constant, it may be a function of time, position or speed. For instance, if the start up transient of an induction machine with a fan load were being considered, the load from the fan would be sero or negligible at standstill, and would then increase with speed.The proposed work is aimed at solving coupled electromagnetics/dynamic load problems using 2D and 3D finite elements. Part of the work will be the development and software verification of new algorithms for this type of problem and part of the work will be experimental. Test rigs will be built for verifying the algorithms practically. These benchmark test problems will be useful to others who wish to verify their own particular computer modelling methods.The work comes within the scope of the new EPSRC Landscapes document, as it encompasses modelling, simulation and validation.
