First, the relationship between MMF, airgap magnetic flux density, and torque is explained based on the magnetic field modulation principle of BD-MFM motors. Then, the contribution of PM airgap flux density harmonics to cogging torque is calculated using Maxwell’s tensor method, and a harmonic torque contribution coefficient is defined to compare the torque contribution of the PM airgap flux density harmonics. Based on the above, the important PM airgap flux density harmonics are selected. In addition, by the design of PM directional arrangement, trapezoidal PM, and trapezoidal magnetic barrier from the perspective of MMF, an MMF-oriented design of the airgap flux density harmonics can be achieved. Finally, the electromagnetic performance of the proposed TBD-MFM motor is compared in detail. It is demonstrated that the proposed TBD-MFM motor achieves higher output torque and lower torque ripple, thereby verifying the effectiveness of the MMF-based design method.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"61 9","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144909265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, since the spoke geometries differ from a solid torque tube, existing rotordynamic analytical models are not directly applicable. This article presents an analytical model for the dynamic behavior of the spoke system, validated through finite element (FE) analysis and experimental impact testing. The study is conducted through three aspects: analytical derivation of the spoke system resonant frequencies, 3-D FE modal verification using Comsol, and experimental validation through a ping test. The first six mode shapes and modal frequencies show minimal discrepancies among these methods. The calibrated FE model is then used to generate a Campbell diagram for rotordynamic analysis.

The method utilizes a magnetic field sensor array to collect and visualize magnetic signals based on a MAD model for moving targets. The processed magnetic field signals are imaged and then arranged in time sequence to generate a motion flow. After standardizing the images, they are input into the 3D CNN to detect and classify motion of interest. Experimental validation was performed using a semi-real dataset with 16 target movements of interest and a control group without target movements.
