Special Session SS15

Topology, Control, Multiphysics Design, and New Materials for High-Performance Electric Machines

---

Introduction:

Under the “dual carbon” strategy and driven by electrification demands in transportation, industry, robotics, and aerospace, electric machines are developing toward high power density, wide high-efficiency ranges, high reliability, low vibration and noise, and intelligent operation. Traditional designs often treat electromagnetic, thermal, mechanical, and control domains in isolation, making it difficult to simultaneously balance performance, cost, and reliability. The synergistic design of electric machine topology and advanced control, multiphysics coupling design, and the application of novel magnetic/structural materials have become key to overcoming performance bottlenecks. This special session aims to bring together the latest achievements in electric machine topology, drive control, multiphysics modeling, thermal management, NVH suppression, new materials, and system integration, to promote industry-academia-research exchange, and to advance the fundamental theory and engineering applications of efficient, compact, and intelligent electric machine systems. Its significance lies in providing high-performance electric machine solutions for new energy vehicles, robots, aerospace, high-end equipment, and other fields, thereby supporting green, low-carbon, and intelligent manufacturing development.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1. Novel topologies and advanced control for PM, reluctance, multiphase, and axial-flux machines
2. Multi-objective optimization for high power density and wide high-efficiency range, and novel magnetic materials
3. Multiphysics electromagnetic-thermal-fluid-solid coupling modeling and AI-based temperature rise prediction
4. Water/oil cooling, flow-thermal coupling, hot-spot suppression, and thermal reliability for electric machines
5. Vibration/noise and torque ripple suppression, and electromagnetic force wave optimization for electric machines
6. Design, dynamics, and servo control of direct-drive and robotic joint machines
7. Applications of amorphous and soft magnetic composites and additive manufacturing processes
8. Machine-controller integration, fault diagnosis, and intelligent operation and maintenance
