The rare-earth (RE) permanent magnets (PM) have been increasingly adopted in traction motor application. However, the RE PM is expensive, less abundant, and has cost uncertainties due to limited market suppliers. This paper presents a new design of a RE-free five-phase ferrite permanent magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance motor (Fe-PMaSynRM) with the external rotor architecture with a high saliency ratio. In such architecture, the low magnetic coercivity and demagnetization risk of the ferrite PM is the challenge. This limits the number of flux barriers, saliency ratio, and reluctance torque. A precise analytical design procedure of rotor and stator configuration is presented with differential evolution numerical optimizations by utilizing a lumped parameter model. A 3.7 kW prototype is fabricated to validate the proposed idea.


This paper proposes an analytical design procedure for a particular class of 2D filters, namelyGaussian-shaped, circularly-symmetric FIR filters. We approach both low-pass and band-pass circular filters,which are adjustable in selectivity and peak frequency. The design starts from a given 1D Gaussian prototypefilter, approximated using the Chebyshev series. A frequency transformation is applied to derive the circularfilter. Several design examples are provided for both types of filters. The filters designed through this methodare efficient, their frequency response results in a factored or nested form, convenient for implementation.

ABSTRACT This paper presents an analytical procedure to determine the resistance of a new composite ribbed lattice slab system, composed by a lipped channel cold-formed steel (CFS) profile in minor bending fastened to a lattice girder by plastic connectors, as well as light filling elements and additional rebar. Motivated by the lack of standardized procedures for such system, this paper combines slab design prescriptions to create a computational tool that estimates load capacity and required propping during construction, serving as a basis for a design catalogue. Finally, a strong limitation of unpropped construction due to the low performance of the cold-formed profile under minor axis bending was observed, being the system able to reach spans up to 1.5 m between props in general.

Abstract The tire technology related with the computational mechanics is reviewed from the standpoint of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Yesterday: A finite element method was developed in the 1950s as a tool of computational mechanics. In the tire manufacturers, finite element analysis (FEA) was started applying to a tire analysis in the beginning of 1970s and this was much earlier than the vehicle industry, electric industry, and others. The main reason was that construction and configurations of a tire were so complicated that analytical approach could not solve many problems related with tire mechanics. Since commercial software was not so popular in 1970s, in-house axisymmetric codes were developed for three kinds of application such as stress/strain, heat conduction, and modal analysis. Since FEA could make the stress/strain visible in a tire, the application area was mainly tire durability. Today: combining FEA with optimization techniques, the tire design procedure is drastically changed in side wall shape, tire crown shape, pitch variation, tire pattern, etc. So the computational mechanics becomes an indispensable tool for tire industry. Furthermore, an insight to improve tire performance is obtained from the optimized solution and the new technologies were created from the insight. Then, FEA is applied to various areas such as hydroplaning and snow traction based on the formulation of fluid–tire interaction. Since the computational mechanics enables us to see what we could not see, new tire patterns were developed by seeing the streamline in tire contact area and shear stress in snow in traction.Tomorrow: The computational mechanics will be applied in multidisciplinary areas and nano-scale areas to create new technologies. The environmental subjects will be more important such as rolling resistance, noise and wear.

A piled raft foundation consists of a thick concrete slab reinforced with steel which covers the entire contact area of the structure, in which the raft is supported by a group of piles or a number of individual piles. Bending moment on raft, differential and average settlement, pile and raft geometries are the influencing parameters of the piled raft foundation system. In this paper, a detailed review has been carried out on the issues on the raft foundation design. Also, the existing design procedure was explained.
