Uncertainties in the Design Space of Electrical Machines – All the Things We Guess At

Coventry, United Kingdom

Updated 5.9.24

In any design project tools, teaching, and CAD will only take you so far. But in all elements of design, there are many additional aspects which a successful designer guesstimates to start with or they ‘just know’ what to do with to complete the project.

As the design iterates, initial assumptions can be tested numerically/analytically or reinforced by gethering additional information. The effect of the assumptions can be gauged in the electromagnetic and thermal models.

This workshop will talk about some of these additional factors, discussing and advising on how to fill the gap between the tools, etc and a successfully completed design.

Speakers

Uncertainty in the design space of electric machines
by Tim Miller of Motivity Ltd, Galashiels; University of Glasgow

Prof. Miller will begin with a humorous and somewhat philosophical review of uncertainty in engineering, together with numerous examples ranging from the simple to the advanced, including mathematical uncertainties and a discussion of tolerancing. The importance of measurement is emphasized throughout.
