Coupled Magneto-Thermo-Mechanical Phenomena in Electromagnetic Devices: Main Interactions and their Graphical Representation

Abstract

A list of main coupled electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical phenomena to be taken into account in numerical analysis of electrical machines and other electromagnetic devices is proposed. A number of well-known and “exotic” physical effects are listed and briefly analyzed. A detailed diagram depicting multiphysical processes is presented. An example devoted to illustration of the presented analysis utilization is considered.
