Re: [femm] complex torque

Hello
folks,
When calculating a torque from stress tensor of an
induction motor, two values are displayed :
- a DC torque
- a double frequency torque in complex form
So, what is the meaning of the complex torque and how
is it cmputed?
Thank you for any comment.
All of the elements of the stress tensor contain flux density squared. When
you do a harmonic analysis, you are the flux density varies sinusoidally
at a frequency of w. When you square a sinusoidally varying quantity, you
get one component at DC, and another component at 2W. The program is just
computing both of these component. The 2x part of the torque is a complex
value--the abs of the 2x force represents the amplitude of the 2x force,
and the arg of the 2x force represents the phasing of the force. If F2x
is the complex-valued 2x force, you'd represent it in terms of time as Re[F2X
(Cos[2Wt]+j*Sin[2Wt])]
Anyhow, also check out:

Also, you'd asked, in msg 1207:

The voltage gradient only works with solid conductors, not wound coils. What
you have to do is apply some currents and solve the problem. Then, evaluate
the flux linkage of a phase and multiply by the frequency to back out voltage
that was required to drive the current.
Arrgh. I really need to make an example of a 3-phase induction motor.
