Design of brushless permanent-magnet machines

T.J.E. Miller is founder and director of the Scottish Power Electronics and Electric Drives Consortium (SPEED). Members include over 100 industrial companies around the world. Dr. Miller led the development of theorectical methods, design techniques and softwaere used in manufacturing of electric motors and generators used in appliances, power tools, vehicle traction drives, aerospace and a wide variety of industrial products. The SPEED Laboratory at the University of Glasgow is acknowledged as the leading supplier of design software fore electric machines. An IEEE Fellow and Tesla Award recipient, Dr. Miller is the author of over 200 publications on motors, drives, power systems and power electronics, including nine books. James R. Hendershot has over 40 years' experience in practical design, development and manufacturing of PM & SR brushless machines as well as AC induction machines for inverter control. Mr. Hendershot has designed hundreds of machines for computer disc drives, machine tool spindles, traction motors, PM generators for micro-turbines and many other applications. Mr. Hendershot's past employment includes Lear Siegler, Clifton Precision, General Motors, United Technologies, and Pacific Scientific. He has written (or co-authored)numerous technical papers, publications and three books plus 13 patents. Jim Hendershot, an IEEE Fellow, holds a BS in physics from Baldwin Wallace College in Berea, Ohio.
