Research Interest

Main research interests are in the electrical machines. The common applications for these machines are traction motors, gas compressors, blowers and turbines. The research includes mechanical design and dynamical behavior under varied operation speeds. Different types of supports and attachments for the rotating part are also considered. Demand for higher rotation speeds, which often leads to better efficiency, requires advanced bearing solutions compared to the conventional rolling element bearings such as fluid film bearings or magnetic bearings. The dynamical behavior is required also to study in order to avoid unwanted vibrations in the rotating part during operation. The research leads to more efficient machines where the electrical energy is transferred to mechanical energy with minimal amount of wasted energy and vice versa.
