电动助力转向用永磁电机。汽车电气化变得越来越普及。电动助力转向需要高质量的永磁电机。该项目将研究替代永磁电机，并比较其电磁和机械性能，特别是参考扭矩密度，扭矩脉动，设计优化和制造公差等。有限元方法将与原型和实验验证一起使用。

Permanent Magnet machines for electric power steering. Electrification in automotive vehicles becomes more and more popular. Electric power steering needs high quality permanent magnet motors. This project will investigate alternate permanent magnet machines and compare their electromagnetic and mechanical performance with particular reference to the torque density, torque ripple, design optimisation and manufacturing tolerance etc. Finite element methods will be employed together with prototyping and experimental validation.
