...Jawad Faiz; Mohammadreza Hassanzadeh; Arash Kiyoumarsi Purpose This paper aims to present an analytical method, which combines the complex permeance (CP) and the superposition concept, to predict the air-gap magnetic field distribution in surface-mounted permanent-magnet (SMPM) machines...

... of this paper is to propose the single voxel approach (SVA) as a novel method. Design/methodology/approach In SVA, the DRS is computed as a superposition of DRSs from single defect voxels, which are calculated in advance, by applying the boundary element source method. This research uses a setup...
