The lab improves motors and electrical devices through electromagnetic computation.
AboutAbout the lab
Calculating electromagnetics to build devices.
The Electromagnetic Energy Engineering Lab studies the theory and applications of computational electromagnetics.
The shift from engine-powered cars to motor-driven vehicles and the use of renewable energy are advancing worldwide.
As key technologies for designing and developing electrical and electronic devices suited to these trends, the lab studies the mathematics of electromagnetic fields and electrical and electronic materials, and computer analysis methods based on them.
Key terms
- Computational electromagnetics
- The field of studying electric and magnetic phenomena by calculating them on computers.
- Finite element method
- A method of dividing an object into small elements to approximately calculate electromagnetic fields, deformation, and more.
- Topology optimization
- A design method in which a computer searches for the best-performing shape while changing the shape freely.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies highly accurate and efficient analysis of electrical devices such as motors, modeling of magnetic materials, fast solution of large systems of simultaneous equations, and optimal design of electromagnetic devices.
*Illustrative imageMaking motor analysis lighter
Highly accurate analysis of motors and similar devices takes enormous computation time. The lab applies model order reduction, a technique that replaces an electrical device with an equivalent circuit without losing accuracy, to motor analysis, and is developing efficient motor design methods.
*Illustrative imageReproducing magnetic properties from the micro scale
The magnetic properties of iron core materials originate in microscopic structures such as crystal grains and magnetic domains. The lab works on multiscale computational magnetics, which describes these effects to reproduce magnetic properties on a computer, and on predicting how stress affects iron loss.
*Illustrative imageSolving large equations quickly
The lab studies iterative solvers that efficiently solve the large systems of simultaneous equations that arise in finite element electromagnetic field analysis. It also develops high-frequency finite element analysis software that makes use of the multigrid method and parallel processing.
*Illustrative imageAutomatically optimizing motor shapes
Topology optimization, which allows shapes to change freely, may yield innovative shapes that designers would not think of. Centering on the optimization of motor shapes, the lab studies topology and parameter optimization.
