  • Abstract
    A method which mixes analytical and numerical approaches is developed to avoid finite elements computations in moving media. An optimization of a linear induction motor (LIM) is performed using two criteria: the efficiency; and the ratio of the thrust to the heat losses. Specific windings can be designed for LIMs which allow a significant improvement in their performance
