The purpose of this paper is to present a method of modeling the variable reluctance stepper motor using the time‐stepping finite element technique. The proposed model is used to minimize the step response overshoots considering the stator and rotor tooth geometry.

A strongly coupled field‐circuit model considering magnetic nonlinearity of the stepper motor is presented. As the main contribution, the Nelder‐Mead method of the motor geometry optimization that minimize the step response overshoots and positioning error is proposed.

The proposed method can be applied to obtain the optimal tooth/pole geometry of the stepper motor which is efficient to perform the possibly accurate positioning.

The purpose of this paper is to calculate the electromagnetic torque at a radius of an integration contour for which an optimal value is determined.

To analyze electrical machine dynamics, the electromagnetic torque should be precisely determined. This paper presents a method for calculating the torque, where the radius of the integration contour is variable and estimated from the field distribution.

To present modelling and control technique of an electromagnetic actuator.

A 3D modelling technique of voltage‐forced electromechanical actuator takes into account: motion, magnetic non‐linearity and eddy current phenomena. Control problem of closed loop system is described by coupled electro‐magneto‐mechanical equations and non‐linear PID controller equations.

Presented methodology offers a powerful tool for analysis of control systems with distributed parameters models and may contribute to the improvement of the electromechanical performance of electrodynamic devices.

As original contribution a position feedback control using conventional PID controller is applied for iterative determining inverse dynamic problem, that is finding input voltage for a given position of an actuator.

Presents 3D method for the computation of the winding current distribution and power losses of the electromagnetic gear. For a prescribed current obtained from measurement, the transient eddy current field is defined in terms of a magnetic vector potential and an electric scalar potential. From numerically obtained potentials the power losses are determined. The winding power losses calculation of an electromagnetic gear shows that a given course of the current generates skin effect and significantly changes the windings resistances. Also presents the designing method for reducing power losses.
