TY - JOUR AU - Wijono, AU - Arof, Hamzah PY - 2007 TI - Open Circuit Field Distribution and Induced Voltage of a Cylindrical Permanent Magnet Linear Generator JF - American Journal of Applied Sciences VL - 4 IS - 11 DO - 10.3844/ajassp.2007.912.917 UR - https://thescipub.com/abstract/ajassp.2007.912.917 AB - This paper deals with the analytical computation of the magnetic field of a cylindrical permanent magnet linear generator. It offers an alternative solution to the magnetic field problem. A new approach to solve Poisson equation using Struve function is introduced and it offers a simple but accurate analytical estimation to the calculation of the open circuit flux density and induced voltage. The finite element analysis simulation is performed to validate the analytical calculation.
