Electromagnetic Modeling by Finite Element

Unlike any other source in the field, Electromagnetic Modeling by Finite Element Methods examines key aspects of the finite element method (FEM) for electromagnetic analysis of low-frequency electrical devices. This reference examines phenomena such as nonlinearity, mechanical force, electrical circuit coupling, vibration, heat, and movement for applications in the electrical, mechanical, nuclear, aeronautics, and transportation industries. It offers a wide range of examples, including torque, vibration, and iron loss calculation; coupling of the FEM with mechanical equations, circuits, converters, and thermal effects; and proven methods for hysteresis implementation into FEM codes.
