Abstract This paper presents a finite element investigation into the proximity losses in a high-speed permanent magnet (PM) machine for traction applications. A three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) is employed to evaluate and identify the endwinding contribution into the overall winding power loss generated. The study is focused on the end-winding effects that have not been widely reported in the literature. The calculated results confirm that the end-winding copper loss can significantly affect the eddycurrent loss within copper and it should be taken into account to provide reasonable prediction of total losses. Several structures of the end-winding are analyzed and compared in respect to the loss and AC resistance. The results clearly demonstrate that the size of the end-winding has a significant impact on the power loss. The calculated results are validated experimentally on the high-speed permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) prototype for selected various winding arrangements.

A mechanical and optimal analyses procedure is developed to assess the stresses and deformations of Novel Wound Composite Axial-Impeller under loading conditions particular to centrifuge. This procedure is based on an analytical method and Finite Element Analysis (FEA, commercial software ANSYS) results. A low-cost, light-weight, high-performance, composite turbomachinery impeller from differently designed patterns will be evaluated. Such impellers can economically enable refrigeration plants using water as a refrigerant (R718). To create different complex patterns of impellers, MATLAB is used for creating the geometry of impellers, and CAD software UG is used to build three-dimensional impeller models. Available loading conditions are: radial body force due to high speed rotation about the cylindrical axis and fluid forces on each blade. Two-dimensional plane stress and three-dimensional stress finite element analysis are carried out using ANSYS to validate these analytical mechanical equations. The von Mises stress is investigated, and maximum stress and Tsai-Wu failure criteria are applied for composite material failure, and they generally show good agreement.

This article presents the overall methodology and the results of the three-dimensional (3D) finite element buckling analysis of the primary containment drywell shell at the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (Oyster Creek). The buckling stresses, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors are computed using ANSYS finite element analysis software [1], and the structural integrity of the drywell in terms of the buckling (stability) limits are based on the ASME B&PV Code Case N-284-1 [2].

A new permanent magnet bias axial magnetic bearing (PMAB) is introduced, then the structure and operation principle are analyzed. The equivalent magnetic circuit is established to deduce the mathematic expression. The parameter design and calculation of the magnetic bearing are presented including available area of magnetic pole, ampere - turns of control coils etc. The parameters of the proposed prototype are also given. The 3-D magnetic field simulation is performed by using the Finite Element software. The theory analysis and the simulation show that the maximum suspension magnetic force satisfies the design requirement. The magnetic suspension forces have better linearity and symmetry around the balanced position. Therefore, the proposed PMAB is suitable for the high speed or low loss occasions.

Three-dimensional finite element analysis of harmonic electromagnetic field in a large and complex structure 15-phase induction machine has been completed. Accurate 3D finite element machine model is established. The current density of stator and rotor and the entire vector flux density distribution are given, then been analyzed and explained. 3D air gap radial flux density is obtained and has been made harmonic analysis. We can get more accurate electromagnetic field distribution and performance parameters through 3D finite element calculation of electromagnetic field. This method can give theoretical basis for the multiphase machine development of new structure and can play reference in terms of structural optimization design.

This paper investigates the dynamic characteristics of the three-dimensional vehicle-bridge system when two high-speed trains are crossing on a bridge. Multispan bridges with slender piers and simply supported beams were used in the dynamic finite element analysis. A response ratio (RR) was defined in this study to represent the ratio of the vehicle-bridge interaction of two-way trains to that of a one-way train. The finite element results indicate that this ratio increases significantly when two-way trains run near the same speed, and the maximum value is approximately equal to or smaller than two for the vertical dynamic response. This means that the maximum dynamic response of the two-way trains is at most twice that of the one-way train. When the two-way train speeds are sufficiently different, the response ratio approaches one on average, which means that the dynamic effect of the two-way train is similar to that of the one-way train. Finite element results also indicate that the averaged response ratio in the three global directions is about 1.65 when the two-way trains run at the same speed.
