Two-dimensional harmonic balance finite element modelling of electrical machi…

An original and easy-to-implement method to take into account movement (motion) in the 2D harmonic balance finite element modelling of electrical machines is presented. The global harmonic balance system of algebraic equations is derived by applying the Galerkin approach to both the space and time discretisation. The harmonic basis functions, i.e. a cosine and a sine function for each nonze…
