Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will bring together the international community of researchers, engineers, and designers engaged in methods and techniques for the computation, modeling, simulation, measurement, and application of electromagnetic fields.

This issue will be mainly devoted to the application of these new ideas and computational methods in improving existing solutions and searching for new ones in the areas of sensors, actuators, MEMS and NEMS, electromagnetic devices, high-frequency applications (5G and 6G), and image processing in health services.

Progress in the technology of devices for sensing and actuation is boosted by several factors, for instance, the availability of smart materials such as magnetic composites, size miniaturization, and the impact of power electronics for supply.

In particular, miniaturization techniques make it possible to integrate different physical domains within the same device, the behavior of which is characterized by the interaction of coupled fields. This in turn has an impact on the mathematical and numerical modeling level, because tools for analysis and design more likely than not are supposed to offer facilities for multi-physics non-linear analysis. Correspondingly, sophisticated techniques of measurement are needed for the assessment and testing of prototypes.

The Special Issue presents a broad overview of methods for both the analysis and design of sensors and actuators. His issue is mainly addressed to scientists as well as students in the area of electrical, electronic and computer engineering, as well as artificial intelligence and mechatronics; special attention is focused on innovative MEMS devices.

Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the covered topics, the skills of different authors acting in different areas of science and technology will be needed, and relevant contributions are very welcome.

Induction motors are a significant consumer of electricity. Therefore, their energy efficiency level plays a vital role in the world’s energy balance. The world’s markets strive to produce motors of efficiency class IE3 or IE4 while maximizing the use of wire and magnetic materials. However, high induction values in the motor core can also lead to significant losses in construction materials, especially in the magnetic motor housing. This article aimed to show how it is possible to determine the distribution of the magnetic field and additional losses in the yoke and the cast-iron motor frame using field-circuit methods to model the motor and to refine the analytical method for calculating these losses at the motor design stage.
