As the increasing demand for more efficient and reliable electric motors continues to grow, novel ideas have been developed to enhance their performance characteristics such as higher torque density, lower torque ripple rate, and reduced power…

Exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation from GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), LTE (Long-Term Evolution), and WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) antennas can cause heating of body tissue, including the head. The levels of RF…

Linear motor systems are one of the promising technologies with wide applicability in various industrial fields. They achieve longer travel lengths and higher acceleration rates with low power consumption and good thrust forces as well as very…

Over the past few years, the restriction on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones’ deployment for military missions has been partially eased to include civilian applications like public services, e-commerce, agriculture, among others.…

Permanent magnet (PM) motors have been used by electromagnetic machinery for decades, thanks to their electrical stability, durability, and reliable performance. Although not yet mainstream, electric motors based on the Halbach arrays offer…

Electrostatic actuation, commonly used in MEMS, is based on the electrostatic fields and the forces they generate on the structures. The deformation of electrodes, caused by the electrostatic forces, is the main concern in electromechanical…

Crossovers are very interesting passive devices in monolithic Integrated Circuits (IC) and antenna arrays. These devices maintain signal purity when transmission lines intersect. There are several types of crossovers. Printed planar crossovers…

Active Infrared thermography method, based on induction heating phenomenon, is immensely developing for NDT due to its reliability and accuracy in material defect inspection. Electromagnetic-thermal non-destructive inspection has been proposed…

Finite element method (FEM) has demonstrated high reliability in the design and analysis of engineering systems. It can be used to simulate any complicated geometry and for both linear and nonlinear problems. Moreover, Finite element analysis…

In recent years, vehicle communication systems have bourgeoned, especially in Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication. This paradigm shift can be attributed to the strong appeal to minimize roadway collisions which are responsible for the death…

A RADAX motor is a hybrid combined radial-axial (RADAX) flux motor. It combines a radial flux motor with one or more axial flux motors, within the same motor housing. It has been reported to have several advantages, including higher torque,…
