Magnetic Materials and 3D Finite Element Modeling

This book provides the necessary information on material characterization and finite element methods applications. It begins with a thorough introduction to materials and basic electromagnetics, and provides a refresher on the finite elements method concepts. The book then moves into experimental and numerical modeling related to losses and material characterization with an emphasis on hysteresis. The second part of the book employs the concepts presented in its first part and apply them on 3D Finite Element methods in several formulations, considering nodal and edge elements.
