Significance of Anisotropic Thermal Expansion in High Speed Electric Machines Employing NdFeB Permanent Magnets (2021)
Journal Article
Kumar, R., La Rocca, A., Vakil, G., Gerada, D., Gerada, C., & Fernandes, B. G. (2021). Significance of Anisotropic Thermal Expansion in High Speed Electric Machines Employing NdFeB Permanent Magnets. Energies, 14(22), Article 7558. https://doi.org/10.3390/en14227558

Many high speed applications employ a surface permanent magnet (PM) machine topology with a retaining sleeve due to its robustness and ability to achieve high overall peripheral speeds as well as efficiencies. One often overlooked feature in the mech... Read More about Significance of Anisotropic Thermal Expansion in High Speed Electric Machines Employing NdFeB Permanent Magnets.

Design of Rare-Earth-Free PM-assisted Synchronous Reluctance Machine for Heavy-duty Automotive Application (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-ani, M., La Rocca, S., La Rocca, A., Walker, A., Ramanathan, R., Zou, T., Vakil, G., Gerada, D., Gerada, C., Paciura, K., & McQueen, A. (2020, December). Design of Rare-Earth-Free PM-assisted Synchronous Reluctance Machine for Heavy-duty Automotive Application. Presented at The 10th International Conference on Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD 2020), Online Conference

Electrical machines designed for automotive applications are characterised by high torque density, wide speed range and low cost. The use of NdFeB magnets in such machines can achieve the required high torque density and wide speed range, however, it...
