Magnetic Material Modelling of Electrical Machines

Dear Colleagues,

Electromechanical energy conversion takes place in electrical motors, generators, and actuators. The efficiency and effectiveness of the conversion process depends on both the design of the devices and the materials used in these devices. Furthermore, the design process of the said devices is today carried out through extensive numerical field computations. The correctness and accuracy of these computations depend on the quality of the material models used. In this issue, we focus on different materials models and their usage in the finite element simulation of electrical motors, generators, and actuators. The modeling of properties such as hysteresis, alternating and rotating losses, and demagnetization are of interest, but also characterization of the materials and their dependency on mechanical quantities such as stresses and temperature are welcome. Both simulation methodologies and material models will be considered.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
