Impact of pole and slot combination on noise and vibrations of flux-switching PM machines

Flux-Switching machines (FSM) have been gaining attention during the last decade. Their electromagnetic behavior has been extensively studied for various topologies, i.e. U-core and E-core, simple (wound field or PM) and hybrid excitations FSM machines. Even though noise and vibrations of electromagnetic origins can be important drawbacks, depending on the application, only few studies are analyzing these aspects. As a result, this paper aims at understanding the sound power level of U-core flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machines whose rotors have different number of poles. The stator of the extensively studied 12/10 stator/rotor pole FSPM machine (12s10rp) serves as a basis for investigating 12s11rp, 12s13rp and 12s14rp configurations. Electromagnetic pressure is calculated from the Maxwell stress tensor where the magnetic flux density is obtained with 2-D finite element analysis (FEA). It then serves as input of a mechanical and acoustical 3-D FEA model of the stator with carter.
