Brushless DC motor text book

[dink]

I'm looking for a textbook that has an in depth coverage of brushless DC motor physics as well as control theory.
-indepth mathematical approach as well as conceptual theory
-controller schemes and design fundementals
-mathematical study of induced currents on the stator/rotor, and what this means for controller design and feedback
-rotor inertia, air gap, power, torque, etc...
-a comparison with conventional motors including ac induction, ac synchronous, standard dc, switch reluctance, etc...
Any help with text suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I found several dozen on amazon.com but I am overwhelmed by the selection and prices. I need the "ace in the hole" text so I won't have to buy two. I'm also concerned that I will spend 100+ dollars on a textbook that only has ~5 pages of BLDC theory.
Thanks

This looks promising...

I would recommend the textbook "Brushless DC Motor Design: A Mathematical Approach" by Marko Hinkkanen and Tero Jokinen. This book covers both the physics and control theory of brushless DC motors in an in-depth and mathematical manner. It also includes controller schemes and design fundamentals, as well as a study of induced currents on the stator/rotor and its implications for controller design and feedback.

Additionally, the book covers topics such as rotor inertia, air gap, power, torque, and compares brushless DC motors with other types of motors including AC induction, AC synchronous, standard DC, and switched reluctance. It also includes practical examples and case studies to help readers understand the concepts better.

This textbook is highly recommended by experts in the field and has received positive reviews for its comprehensive coverage of brushless DC motors. It may be on the pricier side, but it will definitely be worth the investment as it covers all the aspects you are looking for in a brushless DC motor textbook.
