Of mechanics in electrical machines, torsional vibrations are often the most critical. Read here to learn the basic principles, and how to analyze them.
Vibrations in Electrical Machines
Vibrations in electrical machines can be divided into several categories, differing on the mechanism and type of vibrations produced.
Second-Order Finite Elements – Why, How, and When
You may have seen the term “second-order finite elements” mentioned once or twice. But what are they really, and where are they used? Read to learn.
Awesome Interview: Nicola Chiodetto and Electric Aviation

Circulating and Eddy-Current Losses in Random-Wound Electrical Machines
A brief introduction to my doctoral thesis titled “Circulating and Eddy-Current Losses in Random-Wound Electrical Machines”.
Getting my Doctoral Degree (Tech.) just about now
D.Sc. time. Soon. Hi folks! Just a brief, wholly me-centric post about, well, me today. Long story short: I recently successfully defended my doctoral thesis last Friday (15 September 2017). So, I should be officially getting my degree later this…
Coarse meshes: Why and How
When analyzing electrical machines, a course, parametric mesh often outperforms a denser mesh. Here’s why, and some progress updates on the topic.
Magnetomechanical Coupling – Physics and FEA Models
The magnetic forces in an electrical machine deform it, and the mechanical stresses influence the magnetics. Read more about this interaction here.
Of Intelligence, and Arrogance
You are not the smartest person in the room. No-one is. Hi folks! Just a short post this time: I had a rare moment of inspiration (usually writing’s just manual labor instead), and I want to make the most of…
Electric Aircraft
Alright, everyone’s seen electric cars. But what about electric aircraft? Who’s making them, and more importantly: why? Some challenges and benefits here.
