Computational Methods for Electric Machines

For manufacturers of electromagnetic devices such as electric motors, magnetic sensors, and transformers, accurate knowledge of the global and local magnetic properties and a model for accurate estimation of hysteresis and eddy current losses is paramount to the design process. To ensure high efficiency, it is essential to understand the hysteresis properties and loss mechanisms in both soft and hard magnetic materials and its dependence on local defects and grain structures.
This workshop aims to bring together scientists working on macroscopic hysteresis models (energy based, Preisach, Jiles-Atherton, etc.), microscopic models (energy variational principle directly solved or expressed by the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation) as well as physics-based multiscale models. The workshop aims to bring together scientists from different fields - materials science, engineering, materials physics, micromagnetics and more - who are all involved in the modelling of magnetic materials. Our aim is to facilitate an open exchange of ideas, concepts and results among interdisciplinary researchers, and to promote progress in the understanding and application of magnetic materials modelling.
