Design and Control for Linear Machines, Drives, and MAGLEVs—Part III

The 14 papers in this special section focus on the design and control of linear machines, drives, and magnetic levitation (MAGLEVs). The subjects of these papers embrace the main subjects of interest of the scientific community related to linear ele (LEMs), ranging from innovative procedures for the optimal design of such machines, to their analysis with finite elements, to advanced control techniques, suitably devised for specific applications
