> https://icampus.uclouvain.be/claroline/course/index.php?cid=ELEC2311

- Structure and working principle of the magnetically coupled devices (electromechanical converters, magnetic bearings, magnetic coupling and gears, ...)

- Modelling (local/global, electric/magnetic/thermal, numerical/analytical) of these devices

- Optimization of these devices

Contribution of the course to the program objectives (N°)

Axis 1 (1.1, 1.2, 1.3), Axis 5 (5.6), Axis 6 (6.1, 6.4)

Specific learning outcomes of the course

At the end of the course, the student will be able, based on thetechnical andscientific literature,to :

- Understand the working principle of any magnetically coupled devices (electromechanical transducers, magnetic bearings, and magnetic coupling gear, ...)

- Establish the magnetic, electrical and thermal (elementary) model of such devices

- Use these models to analyse and predict the behaviour of such devices

- Use these models to size or optimize these devices according to given specifications

In addition, he/she will also be able to:

- Perform a bibliographic search in scientific literature

- Perform a critical reading of a scientific article

- Preparation and presentation, during the semester, of a thematic seminar by groups of 2-3 students (50%)

- Oral examination on the seminars presented by the other students (50%)

- Thematic seminars prepared and presented by groups of 2-3 students

- Question-answer and restructuring sessions organized following each thematic seminar

- Guidance sessions organized in groups every week during the three weeks preceding the presentation of the thematic seminar

-The contentvaries from one year to another, and depends on the collection of scientific articles selected for the thematic seminars

- Collection of 14 articles or groups of articles related to the course themes
