This work was supported in part by the Delphi Automotive Systems, The National Science Foundation: Grant ESC 9722844, 9625662, Department of Electrical Engg., The Ohio State University. I also wish to thank Ford Motor Company, TRW, AEP which support the work at Mechatronics Systems Lab. I wish to acknowledge Mongkol Konghirun, Coy Brian Studer whose earlier work in the field was a ready reference to my work. My sincere thanks to Dr. Tomy Sebastian, Delphi Saginaw Steering Systems for his support, advice, and interest in my research; Mr. Philippe Wendling from Magsoft Corporation for his technical assistance. 121 CHAPTER 1 Machine Design - Introduction And Basics 1.1 Background Transforming the classical mechanical and hydraulic systems into electric systems to provide better performance and customer satisfaction is the current trend in the automotive industry Eg. electric power steering systems, electric brakes etc.. The penalty is the increase in demand for electrical power. It is estimated that the steady state power requirement in the typical luxury class vehicle would rise from the current level of 1500 W to about 3000 W and to about 7000 W for a hybrid electric vehicle by the year 2005 [16,17,2].
