Prof. Okyay Kaynak, a long-term volunteer and an IES member, has been recognized as one of IEEE Xplore’s Featured Authors.

52 years have past since Prof. Kaynak earned his doctoral degree, nevertheless he still actively publishes his research outcomes. Congratulations!

The biennial conference IEEE-PEMC 2024, focusing on contemporary research topics of power electronics, controls, electrical drives, robotics, and related topics, will be held from 30 September to 3 October 2024 in Pilsen, Czech Republic.

WPTCE 2025 is the largest event in the world for wireless power research and industry engagement, covering a wide range of topics, applications, frequencies, and power levels. The conference will be held on 3-6 June 2025 in Rome, Italy.

In this article, a new decomposition theory, feature mode decomposition (FMD), is tailored for the feature extraction of machinery fault. The proposed FMD is essentially for the purpose of decomposing the different modes using the designed adaptive finite-impulse response (FIR) filters.

The webinar aims presenting a methodology for accounting change in performance with effect of press and shrink fitting of stator housings. The implementation is computationally more efficient to perform in a finite element environment. A measurement setup is also discussed to account the effect of compressive stress and thereby, modifying the iron loss model. Eventually, the overall impact of compressive stress of machine performance and over important drive cycle will be discussed.

Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) in rotating electrical machines for automotive are crucial for motor design. Stator teeth induce core deformation, leading to vibrations and noise. Mitigating NVH optimizes design iterations, reducing time-to-prototype. A webinar will introduce a novel FEA method for force harmonics extraction and assess asymmetrical geometries' NVH improvement potential. JMAG will be showcased for electromagnetic simulations.
