“…To solve this problem, many researchers [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] studied the dynamic end effect characteristics of linear induction motors through electromagnetic field analysis, finite element analysis, or experimental verification. Electromagnetic field analysis, in which the impact of changes in physical quantities on motor performance is intuitively analysed is a more practical method for studying dynamic end effects.…”

The aim of this study is to determine the electromagnetic field spatial distribution and longitudinal end effect characteristics of short primary linear induction motor (SPLIM) in the field of electromagnetic launch. First, in accordance to the electromagnetic model assumption of SPLIM and one‐dimensional electromagnetic field theory, the analytical expression of the whole‐region magnetic flux density of air‐gap is derived using electromagnetic field boundary conditions in line with the actual physical meaning. Second, the finite element method used in comparing the analytical calculation values of key physical quantities, such as air‐gap flux density and secondary eddy current in a multidimensional manner under various static and dynamic working conditions and verifying the correctness of the analytical calculation of the electromagnetic field. On this basis, the air‐gap flux density of SPLIM is decomposed according to the different generation mechanisms, and the spatial distribution of each part of the flux density is studied. Spatial Fourier analysis of flux density is conducted, the end effect coefficient is defined, and the change rule of the end effect coefficient with the design parameters of the motor is studied. Finally, a megawatt‐class high thrust prototype test platform was built, and the measured electromagnetic force was compared with the electromagnetic force calculated by air gap magnetic field and secondary eddy current. The steady‐state error of the two was less than 2%, which verified the accuracy of the analysis and calculation.
