Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of a Vernier Motor with Concentrated Windings
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance analysis of a surface-permanent-magnet-type vernier motor with concentrated windings using finite element method analysis is presented, where the number of auxiliary teeth in the stator, pole pairs in the rotor and winding pole pairs are chosen as $Z{1}=12$, $Z_{2}=11$ and $p=1$ respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic Analysis Method of Two-Dimensional Linear Oscillatory Actuator Employing Finite Element Method
TL;DR: In this paper, a magnetic field equation is coupled with motion equations of both linear and rotary motion of a mover employing the 3-D finite element method, and the usefulness of the method is verified by comparing computational results with the measured resonant oscillation of the mover when it is operated at different frequencies for both motions.
