VARIOUS APPROACHES TO TORQUE CALCULATIONS BY FEM AND BEM

摘要

Different algorithms for the torque calculation by Maxwell stress method (MSM) are dealt with in the paper. The aim of designing these algorithms was to reduce the influence of the choice of the integration path and discretization of the air gap between the stator and rotor on the accuracy of the results. In some of these algorithms the connection between the stator and rotor is released For the magnetic field calculation the finite element method (FEM), boundary element method (BEM), and hybrid finite element - boundary element method (HM) were used. The calculation results were tested on a permanent magnet DC motor and a single phase brushless motor.
