    • Quadratic mode shape components from linear finite element analysis 

      Van Zyl, L.H.; Mathews, E.H. (ASME, 2012)
      Points on a vibrating structure move along curved paths rather than straight lines; however, this is largely ignored in modal analysis. Applications where the curved path of motion cannot be ignored include beamlike ...

    • Retrofit design of a line-start PMSM using the Taguchi method 

      Sorgdrager, A.J.; Grobler, A.J.; Wang, R.-J. (IEEE, 2016)
      This paper presents the implementation of the Taguchi method for a retrofit design of a line-start permanent magnet motor. To evaluate the viability of the method, the optimum designs obtained from both the Taguchi and a ...

    • Robust torque ripple mitigation of a line-start PMSM by means of the Taguchi method 

      Sorgdrager, A.J.; Grobler, A.J.; Wang, R.-J. (IEEE, 2019)
      —In this paper, a robust design framework is proposed to mitigate torque ripple for line-start permanent magnet synchronous machines (LS-PMSM) by using the Taguchi method. The framework is intended for fine-tuning initial ...
