Structural analysis of the stator of the linear magnetic flux compression generator

The stator of the linear magnetic flux compression generator consists of a helical coil, the epoxy insulator and a casing. When the linear magnetic flux compression generator in operation, the stator sustains a great impact caused by the pulsed current. Therefore a great stress takes place within the stator. In order to calculate the flux density, a program was developed. A FEA mode was established to obtain the stress and strain of the stator. In order to apply the electro-magnetic loads to the nodes of the elements, a valid method to obtain the nodes loads from magnetic force (volumetric force) is provided.
