Current economic situation force manufacturers to find the new ways of designing electrical machines. In order to succeed in competitive market, industry has to create new approaches of finding the solutions which will satisfy customer's requirements. Task of determining this set of optimal configurations must be done in the least possible time frame. This problem is becoming more complex when the required electrical machine is not in the standard range of configurations and so the price of the solution cannot be determined with high precision. In this article we propose an example of industrial application which assists in defining the set of optimal configurations of induction machine where the criterions of optimality are the efficiency and total cost of manufacturing.

Mechanical properties comparison of strut-based and TPMS lattice structures produced by EBM
Sokollu, Barış; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Gülcan, Orhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-4-28)
Additive manufacturing is a relatively old but rapidly emerging innovative technology that enables various shapes and designs to be realized which are almost not possible with conventional manufacturing. Lattice structures are one of the most unique applications of utilizing additive manufacturing technology due to weight-to-strength ratios they offer, high impact absorption capabilities, and difficult to produce with conventional approaches. Studies in the literature are mainly focusing on the strut-based ...
Highly efficient and broadband light transmission in 90 degrees nanophotonic wire waveguide bends
KURT, HAMZA; Giden, I. H.; Ustun, K. (The Optical Society, 2011-03-01)
Nanophotonic wire silicon waveguides are indispensable components of integrated photonic circuits. Because of the inherent nature of these waveguides, such as narrow width and high-index contrast, corners with large bending radii are inevitable for efficient light transmission with small loss values, which, in turn, impedes the miniaturization of photonic components. To alleviate huge bending losses of a right angle waveguide, we designed a structure incorporating a two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal, al...
Dynamic analysis, design and practical applications of an overconstrained mechanical force generator
Erdinç, Umur; Soylu, Reşit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017)
In this thesis, dynamical characteristics of existing machines are improved by coupling mechanical force generators to the machine. In short, mechanical force generators (MFG) are energy efficient, overconstrained, shaking force and shaking moment free planar mechanisms which can be used to generate a desired periodic force profile; store excess energy and release it when needed. They can reduce the energy consumption of an existing machine, or optimize other dynamical characteristics of a machine. In chapt...
Thermal analysis of switched reluctance motor with direct in-winding cooling system
Rahman, Nasim Arbab; Bostancı, Emine; Fahimi, Babak (2017-01-12)
Demand for compact high torque/power density electric machines necessitates the choice of an effective cooling system. The focus of this paper is to compare the steady-state thermal analysis of a naturally air-cooled conventional 8/6 SRM to the same motor with direct in-winding cooling system. The goal is to determine how much torque increase can be achieved by using direct cooling in the windings slots. The results show that the direct cooling of the winding guarantees lower temperature in the windings by ...
Eddy current Losses in Permanent Magnets of High Speed Synchronous Generators
Martin, F.; Bernard, N.; Zaim, M. E.; Tounzi, A.; Fratila, R. (2011-09-10)
In this paper, we investigate the eddy current losses in permanent magnets in a surface mounted magnet synchronous machines. A 2D analytical method is presented to calculate the losses due to the time and space harmonics. The validation of the analytical model is led through a 3D finite element method. The proposed method is then applied in case of a generator charging a battery through a full-wave bridge rectifier.
