The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago. But large air gaps and low efficiencies prevented linear motors from being widely used. Though they still have relatively ...

Linear induction motors (LIMs) are positioned head-to-tail in medium and low-speed maglev (MLSM) trains, and the interaction due to small spacing between two LIMs is not yet clear. In this work, based ...

Model predictive control (MPC) is widely recognized as an effective control strategy for linear induction motor (LIM) drives due to its direct switching capability, multivariable regulation, and ...

Engineers who have designed motion control systems have most likely worked with pulse width modulated (PWM) drives. These drives are the default choice in most day-to-day motion control jobs, thanks ...
