Direct steady-state solutions for circuit models of nonlinear electromagnetic devices.

Purpose: This paper aims to omit the difficulties of directly finding the periodic steady-state solutions for electromagnetic devices described by circuit models. Design/methodology/approach: Determine the discrete integral operator of periodic functions and develop an iterative algorithm determining steady-state solutions by a multiplication of matrices only. Findings: An alternative method to creating finite-difference relations directly determining steady-state solutions in the time domain. Research limitations/implications: Reduction of software and hardware requirements for determining steady-states of electromagnetic. Practical implications: A unified approach for directly finding steady-state solutions for ordinary nonlinear differential equations presented in the normal form. Originality/value: Eliminate the necessity of solving high-order finite-difference equations for steady-state analysis of electromagnetic devices described by circuit models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
