Is there a doctor in the house? Unsolved motor design problems suggested for postgraduate theses

ONE SOMETIMES HEARS the statement that the electric machinery field is so well established that relatively few opportunities exist for further investigations and developments. Nothing could be further from the truth. In the electric motor business alone, many problems appear which are not solved rigorously but are by-passed by estimates based on experienced judgment; or they are solved by empirical data in use in design offices, but not generally available in the literature. In either case, further study is justified.
