Abstract
In this paper it is proposed a thermal Finite element formulation that accommodates the current density dependency on the resistivity variation with temperature. As an application example, the steady‐state temperature distribution will be produced for a large 3‐phase induction motor as well as the hot spot temperature for different load conditions. The results produced by the proposed Finite element approach will be compared with the solution obtained considering the current density independent of the temperature as well as with experimental data.

Abstract
Examines the thirteenth published year of the ITCRR. Runs the whole gamut of textile innovation, research and testing, some of which investigates hitherto untouched aspects. Subjects discussed include cotton fabric processing, asbestos substitutes, textile adjuncts to cardiovascular surgery, wet textile processes, hand evaluation, nanotechnology, thermoplastic composites, robotic ironing, protective clothing (agricultural and industrial), ecological aspects of fibre properties – to name but a few! There would appear to be no limit to the future potential for textile applications.
