The study was carried out through the application of a finite-element static analysis and the application of a new method for dynamic analysis. Those studies are thereafter evaluated with experimentations.engActuatorsFinite element analysisComputer aided designElectromechanical devicesForce measurementLinear motionOn the influence of the pole and teeth shapes on the performance of linear switched reluctance actuatorjournal article10.1108/03321641111101005
