Design of an aircraft generator with radial force control. (2023)
Journal Article
Brecher, C., Neus, S., Gärtner, M., Eckel, H.-M., Hoppert, M., James, B., Gerada, C., Degano, M., Ilkhani, M. R., & Di Nardo, M. (2023). Design of an aircraft generator with radial force control. Open Research Europe, 2, Article 73. https://doi.org/10.12688/openreseurope.14684.3

With the increasing electrical energy demands in aviation propulsion systems, the increase in the onboard generators’ power density is inevitable. During the flight, forces coming from the gearbox or gyroscopic forces generated by flight manoeuvres l... Read More about Design of an aircraft generator with radial force control..

Surface Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines: High Speed Design and Limits (2022)
Journal Article
Gallicchio, G., Nardo, M. D., Palmieri, M., Ilkhani, M. R., Degano, M., Gerada, C., & Cupertino, F. (2023). Surface Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines: High Speed Design and Limits. IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion, 38(2), 1311-1324. https://doi.org/10.1109/tec.2022.3225224

Surface permanent magnet synchronous machines are one of the most widely adopted machine topologies in high-speed applications where efficiency and power factor cannot be compromised. Although the design of such machine type has been extensively inve... Read More about Surface Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines: High Speed Design and Limits.

An Abaqus plugin for efficient damage initiation hotspot identification in large-scale composite structures with repeated features (2021)
Journal Article
Zou, X., Yan, S., Ilkhani, M. R., Brown, L., Jones, A., & Hamadi, M. (2021). An Abaqus plugin for efficient damage initiation hotspot identification in large-scale composite structures with repeated features. Advances in Engineering Software, 153, Article 102964. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.advengsoft.2020.102964

© 2021 Elsevier Ltd Identifying the hotspots for damage initiation in large-scale composite structure designs presents a significant challenge due to the high modelling cost. For most industrial applications, the finite element (FE) models are often...
