Simplified two-dimensional analysis of linear induction motors

A method for simplified computing the performance of linear induction motor is presented. This analysis is derived from the two-dimensional electromagnetic analysis using the space harmonic technique based on the Fourier series expansion. The resultant method would be a interface between the Fourier series and Fourier transforms, and can make a substantial abbreviation in the calculation without spoiling the accuracy, taking directly into account of the end effect, the skin effect and the primary winding arrangement.
