Fast Computation of Electromagnetic Vibrations in Electrical Machines via Field Reconstruction Method and Knowledge of Mechanical Impulse Response.

The main objective of this paper is to provide an efficient computational model for fast and accurate calculation of electromagnetically induced vibrations in electrical machines. Although a three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous machine has been used in this paper, the same methodology can be extended to other types of electric machinery. A brief comparison between the different methods for structural analysis in electrical machines is introduced. The method proposed in this paper uses finite-element analysis in order to extract the impulse responses that are used in calculating the vibration. A field reconstruction method is used for the electromagnetic field analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
