    Abstract.The paper deals with the problem of force and torque calculation for linear, cylindrical and spherical electromechanical converter.The electromagnetic field is determined analytically with the help of separation method for each problem. The results obtained can be used astest tasks for electromagnetic field, force and torque numerical calculations. The analytical relations for torque and forces are also convenientfor analysis of material parameters influence on electromechanical converter work.

    Keywords: electromagnetic forces, anisotropy, analytical solutions.

    1. Introduction

    The determination of forces induced by electromagneticfield in electromechanical converter is an important prob-lem. For electromechanical converters the acting force ortorque values play deciding role for users. Modern tech-nologies enable us to construct electromechanical convert-ers with parts having wide range of properties betweenthem anisotropic. Especially, the induction motors lin-ear, cylindrical and spherically shaped have got oftenmagnetically anisotropic parts. The magnetic anisotropycould increase the value of forces and torques arising inelectromechanical converter. The intention of this paperis to present the analytical solutions for linear, cylindrical

    and spherical induction motor problems. Basing on themain equation for electromagnetic forces density there arepresented and discussed forces and torques values actingin electromechanical converters. The analytical relationsfor force and torque are the base for material parame-ters influence analysis. The presented below solutions foranisotropic and isotropic cases for magnetic circuit of in-duction motor can be used as a test-task for numericalpackages, too.

    2. Force and torques in electromagneticfield

    The first pair of Maxwell equations [13] take the well-known form

    curlE= B div B= 0. (1)The second pair of Maxwell equations can be presentedin vector notation as follows

    div D= curl H= j+ D. (2)The constitutive relation for electromagnetic field vectorsfor non-hysteresis medium are

    Hu=uvBv, (3)

    Du= uvEv, (4)

    * email: [email protected]

    whereuv denote dielectric permittivity, uv are magnetic

    reluctivity, u, v, w are curvilinear system co-ordinates(summation due to twice appearing indices is accepted).The volume density of the total force [4, 5] can be

    written in the form of (Appendix)

    f= fL+ N+ M, (5)

    that point out the physical reasons for arising of theelectromagnetic force component and is widely used forcalculation of forces that appear in electromagnetic fieldregion [69]. On the right hand side of Eq. 5 there arethree components of electromagnetic force as follows

    acting on external currents/charges the Lorentzforce equals to

    fL= E+ j B, (6) originated by change of magnetic reluctivity and

    electric permittivity [10] the so-called nonhomogenous

    component N

    N = 1

    2EuEwgrad(uw), (7)

    and asymmetry component M. (Eq. 66).The forces/torques described mathematically by Lo-

    rentz formula are called Lorentz forces/torques. Theforces/torques given by non-homogeneous and asymmetrycomponents are called material forces/torques.

    The tensor notation presented in Appendix isconvenient for forces components evaluation in curvilinearco-ordinate systems e.g. cylindrical and spherical. Thetotal force density can be also presented with the help ofMaxwell stress tensor in vector notation as follows

    For Cartesian co-ordinate systeme= 1,u = x (Section 3);for cylindrical e = r, u = (Section 4) and sphericalsystem e = r2 sin , u = (Section 5), subsequently.

    So, the virtue of tensor notation is evident: it leads tothe vector notation easily. Moreover, the tensor notationcan be easily implemented in any programming language.The components of tensors - presented in matrix form- are very convenient in use for any loop algorithms,especially.

    3. Linear electromechanical converter(1 dimensional field)

    The simplest linear electromechanical converter [11] foranalytical analysis of electromagnetic field and force cal-culation is presented. For describing Lorentz FL and

    anisotropy forces FFe the main Eq. (5) will be applied.The model of the electromechanical converter consid-ered is an induction linear motor with conducting andanisotropic carriage (Fig. 1). The model can representlinear motor used in traction. The motor carriage issmooth and magnetically homogeneous. The conductingrotor carriage has the width a, and the air-gap width isg= const.

    Fig. 1. Model of linear induction motor

    For the linear induction motor the analytical solutionfor the electromagnetic field distribution and forces can

    be found. The correctness of the analytical analysis givesthe possibility to demand for the highest accuracy offorce values. Additionally, the solutions obtained for forcesdecomposition confirm the form of Eq. (5) mathematicallyproved (in Appendix) . The total force decomposition forcomponents called is satisfied as shown in this paragraph.

    The electromagnetic field calculation will be providedunder the following assumptionsa) electric displacement current vanishes due to the small

    field frequency [11],b) Maxwells stress tensor part connected with the elec-

    tric field can be omitted due to considered range of

    the frequency DuEv HuBv ,c) rail windings induce the sinusoidal mmf (magnetomo-

    tive force [10], [12])

    s(x) =scos(ky 2f t), (13)where s stands for magnitude of mmf, y is theposition on the infinitely long carriage towards move

    direction, k propagation constant, f means statorsupply frequency,

    d) reluctivities for motor carriage, are as followsx xyyx y

    ,

    e) conductivity of motor carriage is (isotropic parame-ter).

    The assumed symmetry of linear motor leads to theone-dimensional analysis. Field change in perpendiculardirection to the move direction is neglected. The magneticflux density of vertical component of magnetic potentialAz can be presented as follows

    B= ixAzy iy Az

    x . (14)

    The magnetic field strength components for the anisotro-pic region can be shown in the form of

    Hx = xBx+ xyBy, Hy =yxBx+ yBy. (15)

    The Maxwell equation

    curl( H) = j = E= A (16)and Eqs. (14)(16) lead to the main equation in the formof

    y 2

    Azx2

    (xy+ yx) 2

    Azxy

    + x 2

    Azy2

    =Az. (17)

    The time-partial derivative of Az as a multiplication ofthe operandi and the complex magnetic potential A atthe steady state could be represented as follows

    A i A, (18)where means carriage currents pulsation.

    Equation (17) leads to either generalized Helmholtzdifferential equation for conducting carriage

    Equations (19) and (20) will be solved by the separationof the variables in the form

    A= X(x)Y(y) =X Y. (21)

    At the steady-state function Y(y) for monoharmonicstator mmf has the given below form

    Y(y) = exp(iky). (22)

    Rearranging the Eq. (19) with due to separation schemefor X(x) and Y(y) leads to differential equation for the

    The evaluation of magnetic field potential distributionis followed by the electromagnetic torque componentsanalytical calculations. The Maxwell stress tensor leadsto the total electromagnetic torque by means of thewell-known formula

    F =oV

    BBrdS. (25)

    The electromagnetic torque component forced by machine

    rotor currents can be evaluated by the Lorentzs forcedensity as follows

    FL = V jzBrdV . (26)The equation shows the total torque decomposition, whichcan be written in the shortened form of

    F =FL+ FFe, (27)

    where FFe denotes the so-called material torque. Thiscomponent is calculated with the help of the Eq. (12) asfollows (u= x)

    FFe =V

    MxdV. (28)

    All torques are calculated for chosen linear motor. Theaccuracy of the calculation provided with MathcadTM

    equals to 1015 (data shown in Fig. 2 are for SI UnitSystem).

    4. Cylindrical electromechanical converter(2 dimensional field)

    For describing Lorentz TeL and anisotropy TeFe torquesthe proved method for induction motor with solid rotorwill be applied [1215]. Let us consider the model of theinduction motor with conducting and anisotropic rotor

    presented in Fig. 3. The model can represent the 2-phaseferrite induction machine widely used in the industry.The motor rotor is magnetically homogeneous, so thetangential component of non-homogeneous componentvanishes N = 0. The magnetic rotor does not exhibithysteresis phenomenon. The machine rotor is cylindrical.Its outer radius is R. The conducting rotor layer has thewidtha, and the air-gap width is g = const.

    Fig. 3. Model of induction motor with solid rotor

    For the simplified model of the induction motor theanalytical solution for the electromagnetic field distri-

    bution can be found. The correctness of the providedanalysis gives the possibility to demand for the accuracy

    almost of 100% for torque components values. The nu-merical analysis does not ensure such the level of torquecalculations. The electromagnetic torque decompositionbalance is satisfied, too.

    The electromagnetic field calculation will be provided

    under the following assumptionsa) electric displacement current vanishes,

    b) Maxwells stress tensor part connected with the elec-tric field can be omitted due to considered range ofthe frequency,

    c) stator windings induce the sinusoidal 2p-pole mmf

    s() =scos(p 2f t), (29)where s stands for the magnitude of mmf, is theposition angle,f means the stator supply frequency,

    d) reluctivities for motor rotor, are given by the reluctiv-ity matrix generally

    After evaluating the magnetic field potential distri-bution both the magnetic flux density components andthe electromagnetic torque components can be evaluated,analytically. The Maxwell stress tensor leads to the to-tal electromagnetic torque by means of the well-knownformula

    The electromagnetic torque component forced by machinerotor currents can be evaluated by Lorentzs force density

    as follows

    There is a question: whether the both torques are equalfor electromechanical converter which rotor exhibits themagnetic anisotropy features? According to Eq. (5) after applying the Gaussian theorem [17] for a cylin-drical surface V which is situated in the air-gap it is

    satisfiedTe= TeL+ TeFe. (40)

    The equation shows the total torque decomposition (non-homogeneous component vanishes), where TeFe denotesthe so-called material torque. The material torque canbe physically interpreted as a part of total torque thatcan be exerted only if either directional nonhomogenity

    or forced magnetic anisotropy appears. The electromag-netic torques at the steady state are calculated exemplaryelectromechanical converter. The considered cases of theanisotropy are grouped in Table 5.

    Analytical electromagnetic field and forces calculation

    From the analyses carried out and grouped in Table 5it is apparent, that the material torque component canappear for induction motor with round, homogeneous andnon-hysteresis rotor if the matrix of magnetic reluctivitiesis not Hermitan conjugate.

    For the electromechanical converter the electromag-netic torque components have been evaluated Fig. 5. Itis significant that for induced anisotropy (the cases e) andg)) appears the material torque TeFe. For Hermitian con-jugate reluctivity matrix case f) (or for symmetricalmatrix particularly) the material torque vanishes.

    Hence, there is possible to express the total torque Te(calculated by Maxwell stress surface integral) caused byLorentz force in the form of surface integral for Hermitianconjugate reluctivity matrix (e.g. symmetrical matrix).

    For the analysis of influence of normal magneticanisotropy (r = ar = 0) on the torque-slip curve

    shape there are considered three cases of rotor magneticanisotropy

    with radial-dominate magnetic reluctivity T r andr > a,

    with angular-dominate magnetic reluctivity T anda > r,

    compared with the case of isotropic rotor T0.

    For the three specified above cases (at the conditionr+ = const = 30 o, = 7 106 S/m, R= 0.05 m,a= 0.03 m, g = 0.001 m, = 500 A, p = 1, l = 0.3 m,f1 = 50 Hz) the electromagnetic steady-state torque-slipcurve (s= (f1np)/f1) have been obtained with the helpof the presented magnetic field distribution Fig. 6.

    Fig. 6. Torque-slip curves for different anisotropy: T r for r > solid line, T for r = dot line (isotropic rotor), T r > dash-dot line (for all cases r+ a = const, r = r = 0)

    The analyses carried for cylindrically shaped elec-tromechanical converter have brought out to the issues,such as

    For the electromechanical converter with roundrotor, which does not exhibit both the nonhomogenity ofmagnetic reluctivity and the hysteresis phenomenon onlythe anisotropy of the magnetic reluctivity may cause the

    material torque. Indeed, the material torque appears forthe cylindrical-shaped electromechanical converter in the

    case

    r=r

    For the electrical machine rotor with radial-dominate magnetic reluctivity the electromagnetic torqueis the greatest one for stable (arising) part of torque-slipcurve.

    The obtained results enable one to state thatthe electromagnetic torque of electromechanical convertercan be represented by the surface integral for both theisotropic and the normal magnetic anisotropy of rotor.

    5. Spherical electromechanical converter(3 dimensional field)

    For the electromechanical converter with spherical rotor Fig. 7 (e.g. spherical motor [1822]) the electromag-netic field could be determined with the help of separationof variable method. The book [20] presents the main solu-tions for spherical converter by means of circuit analysis.The further works present the field analysis of the prob-lem in theoretical form [18, 19] or numerical [21, 22].

    Fig. 7. Spherically shaped electromechanical converter-view

    The non-standard separation proposed leads to theanalytical solution for the spherical symmetry problemfor anisotropic region. The solution obtained can beapplied for analysis of electromechanical converters with

    spherically shaped moving part. The magnetic flux densityfor spherical co-ordinate can be presented in the form

    For the evaluated magnetic filed distribution and elec-tromagnetic torque has been calculated as shown inFig. 11. There are presented the electromagnetic torquestwo components: Lorentz TeL and material TeFe that to-gether constitute the total electromagnetic torqueTe. The

    torque decomposition is presented for checking analysiscorrectness, too. It should be pointed out that for eitherisotropic or normally anisotropic (r = r) rotor theanisotropy torque component disappears (in the case ofHermite conjugate reluctivity matrix, generally). The con-dition for this statement is the same as for cylindricallyshaped rotor (Section 2).

    Moreover, it was controlled accuracy of electromag-netic field solutions by means of the energy-power balance.The Poynting vector [15] is used for evaluating the mag-netic energy and power losses in rotor. In order to checkthe accuracy of electromagnetic field solutions the energy-power balance has been checked. The Poynting vector isused for evaluating the magnetic energy and power lossesin rotor. For checking the correctness of the obtained elec-tromagnetic field distribution the power balance has beenchecked with the help of MathCadTM program. The com-plex power is calculated with the help of Poynting vectoras follows

    Sc = ioS

    BAzdS. (58)

    The fulfilment of electromagnetic field power balanceensures us that the analytical solutions are correct. More-

    over, the power analysis leads to the power losses valuein solid rotor

    Pq =V

    E2zdV . (59)

    The exemplary calculations are shown in Fig. 12.

    For technical purposes the analysis of influence ofnormal magnetic anisotropy (r = r = 0) on thetorque-slip curve is carried out for two cases of rotormagnetic anisotropy

    with radial-dominate magnetic reluctivity T r andr > ,

    with angular-dominate magnetic reluctivity T and > r,

    in comparison with the case of isotropic rotor T.

    For the three specified above cases (at conditionr+ = const = 30 o, = 7 106 S/m, R= 0.05 m,a = 0.03 m, g = 0.002 m, = 1000 A, p = 1 forradii notation see Fig. 4) the electromagnetic steady-statetorque-slip curve have been obtained with the help ofthe presented magnetic field distribution Fig. 13. Thetorque-slip curves show that electromechanical converterwith radial-dominate magnetic reluctivity develops elec-

    tromagnetic torque at stable part of torque-slip curvegreater than for other anisotropy and isotropic rotor.

    Fig. 13. Torque-slip curves for different anisotropy: T r for r > solid line, T for r = dot line (isotropic rotor), T for

    r > dash-dot line (for all cases r + = const,r = r = 0) for spherical motor

    6. ConclusionsThe proposed method for electromagnetic torque/forcecalculation described in analytical way enables us tocalculate its total and component values. The torque/forcecomponents indicate the physical reason for theirs

    induction i.e Lorentz force and

    material force component (nonhomogeneous and ani-sotropy components).

    The mathematical proof for the main equation forforce density has been provided with the help of tensornotation in Appendix. The tensor notation is convenientdue to its mathematical form not only for curvilinear

    co-ordinate system but also for numerical algorithms.For the chosen electromechanical converters linear,

    cylindrical and spherically shaped electromagnetic fieldand force/torque have been calculated. The accuracy ofthe calculation carried out has been checked by totalforce/torque decomposition correctness, too.

    The solutions obtained lead to the conclusions that theradial-dominate anisotropy increases the electromagnetictorque value at steady-state of work.

    For spherically shaped electromechanical converterthe non-standard separation is proposed that leads tothe analytical solutions. The mathematical form of non-

    standard separation is given by Eq. (46).It is pointed out, that the Lorentz force can be

    presented by means of surface integral for homogeneousregions if its reluctivity matrix is either isotropic oranisotropic Hermite-conjugate.

    Appendix

    The energy tensor, which includes the stress tensor, canbe defined as follows

    ki = GklFil+ 14kiGlmFlm. (57)The excitation tensorGik has the following form

    Gik =oFik + Wik,

    ,

    Gik =

    0 cDx cDy cDzcDx 0 Hz +HycDy +Hz 0 HxcDz Hy +Hx 0

    .

    The tensor density of the energy tensor can be defined asfollows

    ki = GklFil+ 14kiGlmFlm, (58)The first pair of the Maxwells equations for the

    curvilinear co-ordinate system can be written in the form

    Fik,l+ Fkl,i+ Fli,k = 0. (59)

    The second pair of the Maxwells equations where the

    tensor density of the excitation tensor appears has theformGik

    xk =Gik,k = ji. (60)

    Due to the skew-symmetry of tensors Fik and Gik onegets

    Fik,lGik + 2Kl+ 2(FklG

    ik),i= 0.

    where

    Kl = Fliji, Kl =

    |g|Kl.

    The excitation tensor and the electromagnetic field tensorare connected by material parameters as follows

    Gik =ik

    pq

    Fpq + Gik, (61)

    where the material coefficients constitute the tensor

    ikpq =

    gikpq.

    The material relation (63) took the form known forGik = 0 and for symmetrical material coefficients.

    Consecutive, it can be written

    (FikGik),l =FikG

    ik,l + Fik,lG

    ik, (62)

    hence, according to the Eqs. (61) and (62), there aresatisfied the following relations:

    (FikGik),l =

    pqikFpqFik,l+ ikpqFpqFik,l+ Fik

    ikpq,lF

    pq

    + [FikGik

    ,l + Fik,lG

    ik].

    The material tensor pqik in terms of the symmetricaland the asymmetrical parts can be represented as follows:

    pqik = 12

    (pqik + ikpq) + 12

    (pqik ikpq) = pqiks

    +pqik

    a

    .

    Hence

    (FikGik),l = 2G

    ikFik,l 4Ml 4Ql 4Nl,where there were defined

    Ql = 12 [FikGik,l Fik,lGik], (63)

    Ml = 12ikpq

    a

    FpqFik,l = 12

    ikpq

    a

    FpqFik,l, (64)

    Nl = 12Fikikpq,lFpq. (65)

    The tensor force density satisfies the following relations:12

    (FikGik),l+ 2Nl+ 2Ql+ 2Ml+ 2Kl+ 2(FklG

    ik),i = 0,

    thus finally with the help of Kroneckers delta symbol:

    Kl = {GkpFlp+ 14klGpqFpq},k Nl Ql Ml.The divergence of the energy tensor is equal to

    ( ki ),k =Ki+ Ni+ Qi+ Mi, (66)The non-vector notation for the tensor density of gener-alised force volume density enables one to exchange thevolume integral into the surface one with the help ofGausss theorem.
