Analysis and modeling of an electrostatic induction micromotor

Abstract

An electrostatic induction micromotor has been simulated and analyzed using Maxwell equations defining the mathematical model that governs it. We have introduced the analytical solution of the mathematical model for a simple geometry of the micromotor. The obtained results have been generalized for a model that presents cylindrical symmetry. An approximate solution has been evaluated through the realization of the analysis and numeric calculus (FEM) of the model. The force density has been estimated using the tensorial calculus. The FEM solution has been compared with the analytical solution for verification purpose.
