<p> Of greatest interest in the field of linear motion electrical
machines are, the flat linear induction motor and liquid metal pump. The
former has feasibility in high speed transportation while the latter is
becoming of increasing importance in metallurgical processes. </p> <p> This thesis examines and extends the traditional representation
for the usual sheet secondary classification and then presents a common
theory which also allows composite secondary machines to be analysed. An
idealized model is developed consisting of a number of regions representing air gaps, iron segments, and secondary conductors. A general solution
for the field quantities is obtained. The concept of wave impedance and
a transfer matrix approach allow a wide variety of configurations to be
analysed. Unlike previous work the approach developed here allows for
simultaneous investigation of lateral variation and skin effect. In the
limiting cases where in tum skin effect and lateral variation are
neglected the solutions are in agreement with known results. </p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
