Linear Electric Machines, Drives, and Maglevs Handbook

This state-of-the-art handbook covers most progressive and oscillatory linear electric machines (LEMs), drives, and MAGLEVS. It discusses basic and advanced modeling, steady state, transients, control, design and testing of linear machines and drives with numerous case studies related to representative applications. Readers get ready-to-use knowledge of the analysis, design, control, testing, and ordering of linear electric machines, drives, and Maglevs to suit best various applications from people movers to industrial transport and linear oscillatory machines (loudspeakers, plunger solenoids, compressor dlive, linear generators, or automotive active dampers and electromagnetic valve actuators for ICEs)
