Abstract This report covers the Mosebach theory of the double-sided linear induction motor, starting with the ideallized model and accompanying assumptions, and ending with relations for thrust, airgap power, and motor efficiency. Solutions of the magnetic induction equation for the one- and two-dimensional LIM models are presented. The effect of the magnitude of the Fourier unit cell length and maximium harmonic order on computer accuracy is discussed in some detail. The one-dimensional Mosebach model is applied to the analysis of the LIMRV & TLRV LIMs and the results compared with similiar predictions based on the Elliott, Oberretl, and Yamamura computer models. The report concludes that the Mosebach theory is of particular value when applied to linear motors operating at high speeds and low slip-frequencies.
