Abstract:The most significant assumptions in the subdomain technique (i.e., based on the formal resolution of Maxwell's equations applied in subdomain) is defined by: The iron parts (i.e., the teeth and the back-iron are considered to be infinitely permeable, i.e., µ iron → +∞, so that the saturation effect is neglected. In this paper, the authors present a new scientific contribution on improving of this method in two-dimensional (2-D) and in Cartesian coordinates by focusing on the consideration of iron. The subdomains connection is carried out in the two directions (i.e., x-and y-edges). For example, the improvement was performed by solving magnetostatic Maxwell's equations for an air-or iron-cored coil supplied by a direct current. To evaluate the efficacy of the proposed technique, the magnetic flux density distributions have been compared with those obtained by the 2-D finite-element analysis (FEA). The semi-analytical results are in quite satisfying agreement with those obtained by the 2-D FEA, considering both amplitude and waveform.
