It is noted that the finite-element method is capable of calculating the electromagnetic fields in many microwave and optical components and providing scattering matrices. Two approaches have been used: exciting the device with incident waves and calculating reflected waves; and exciting the device with applied voltages and calculating currents. It is pointed out that 3-D analysis is computationally expensive, but, fortunately, there are important classes of device amenable to analysis in 2-D. Optical components, which are usually unbounded, can be handled with the help of absorbing boundary conditions. Two examples are given: a rectangular-waveguide phase-shifter and a dielectric-waveguide transformer. It is concluded that developments such as automatic mesh generators, absorbing boundary conditions, and efficient sparse matrix techniques have made the finite-element method competitive with integral-equation approaches, and distinctly advantageous when there are several materials or complicated shapes to model.< >

The calculation of accurate and consistent forces is an essential part of the computational analysis and design of many time-harmonic eddy-current systems. While most of the magnetostatic force formulations have been extended to quasistatic applications, a viable equivalent to the multiple solution Classical Virtual Work method (CVW) has not been established. An effective and efficient CVW-type method for the calculation of time-averaged net forces and torques in time-harmonic eddy-current systems is derived. The computational performance of the method is tested and evaluated using finite element analysis.

This paper describes a method for the computation of the transient and subtransient reactances of synchronous machines by finite elements. It employs the concept that boundary conditions may be used to isolate different regions of the problem domain. By using this approach, the regions of the problem domain which contain induced currents in the transient and subtransient regimes, are isolated. Great simplification of the problem is gained as a result of this practice. The method is implemented on a large water-wheel generator with first order nonlinear triangular elements. Extreme load levels as well as armature flux angles have been examined. The computational results in all the cases studied show a good accordance with the manufacturer's shop-floor tests.
Finite elements have been widely used for the prediction of turbogenerators steady-state reactances. In comparison, water-wheel generators have received little attention in the literature. The present paper, while exp...

Finite elements have been widely used for the prediction of turbogenerators steady-state reactances. In comparison, water-wheel generators have received little attention in the literature. The present paper, while explaining the difficulties associated with the analysis of salient pole machines, describes a new method for the prediction of the steady-state reactances of a hydrogenerator. The method is applied to a large water-wheel generator and the computed reactances are compared with those obtained from the manufacturer's shop-floor tests.

A high-order full-discretization method (FDM) using Hermite interpolation (HFDM) is proposed and implemented for periodic systems with time delay. Both Lagrange interpolation and Hermite interpolation are used to approximate state values and delayed state values in each discretization step. The transition matrix over a single period is determined and used for stability analysis. The proposed method increases the approximation order of the semidiscretization method and the FDM without increasing the computational time. The convergence, precision, and efficiency of the proposed method are investigated using several Mathieu equations and a complex turning model as examples. Comparison shows that the proposed HFDM converges faster and uses less computational time than existing methods.

A generalized formulation for net magnetostatic loading force calculation is derived from the Maxwell stress expression. The formulation yields a combined surface and volume integration method based on the magnetic flux density and an arbitrary scalar function g. The most interesting feature of the technique is its flexibility. For one choice of g, the method reduces to a distributed Maxwell stress scheme; for another, it yields a generalized version of the Coulomb virtual work implementation. With the introduction of an intelligent g-function based on local field-error, the new formulation yields a fully automatic method suitable for extracting accurate and consistent forces from imperfect numerical solutions. It is implemented for two-dimensional first-order finite elements, and two illustrative test problems are analyzed. The performance of the scheme is compared to the Maxwell stress and Coulomb approaches.

Methods are described for forming element matrices for a wide variety of operators on tetrahedral finite elements, in a manner similar to that previously employed for line segments and triangles. This technique models the differentiation and product-embedding operators as rectangular matrices, and produces finite element matrices by replacing all required analytic operations by their finite matrix analogues. The method is illustrated by deriving the conventional matrix representation for Laplace's equation. Computer programs are available, which generate universal finite element matrices for use in various applications.
This paper proposes a simple and interesting algorithm dealing with structural shape, topology and thickness optimisation simultaneously. The proposed approach is based on an interesting idea of migrating boundary nod...

design considerations underlying present interactive CAD systems are discussed. Two-dimensional general purpose packages now exist, with good graphics support. The computer-aided design process closely parallels that of classical design, but with a more formal working protocol. The impact of current and probable future computer terminal hardware on CAD is reviewed briefly.
