In this article, a 2-D analytical model is presented for brushless double mechanical port flux-switching permanent magnet machines (BDMPFSPMMs). The BDMPFSPMM is an appropriate candidate to be employed as the electric motor in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) due to integrating two rotors and two stators into a compact structure. The radial and tangential components of the magnetic flux density are calculated due to permanent magnets and armature currents in each active region of the machine based on the subdomain method. The effects of the saliency on both the rotor and stator structures as well as their interactions are considered. The approach can be used for the magnetic field calculation in BDMPFSPMMs with any combination of rotor- and stator-pole numbers. Based on the computed magnetic flux density, electromagnetic torque, self and mutual inductances, flux linkage, induced voltage, local traction, and unbalanced magnetic force (UMF) are obtained. To validate the proposed model, the analytical results are compared with those obtained from the finite element method (FEM).
