Abstract :
In this paper, an enhanced method for analysis of high speed single-sided linear induction machines (LIMs) with solid secondary is developed. The longitudinal end effect, transverse edge effect, and back-iron saturation are considered in the proposed analysis. A computationally efficient combined finite element and analytical method for simulating the performance of high speed linear induction machines is presented. It is shown that the coupled two dimensional analytical and finite element methods can be used for electromagnetic computations of linear induction machines with solid secondary. The calculated thrust forces are in good agreement with the test results
