This paper presents a detailed analysis of the electromagnetic force and vibration behavior of an axial flux permanent magnet synchronous machine (AFPMSM). First, the AFPMSM configuration and two types of dual three-phase winding are introduced. Subsequently, the electromagnetic force of the double-stator inner-rotor AFPMSM is investigated. Its spatial and temporal characteristics are derived analytically and validated through two-dimensional Fourier decomposition. A multiphysics model is established to calculate the vibration of the AFPMSM, which includes control, electromagnetic, structural, and vibration model. The accuracy of this multiphysics model is verified by the modal and vibration test. Furthermore, the vibration of the AFPMSM with three winding types considering current harmonics are calculated based on the multiphysics model. The vibration performance of the AFPMSM with three different winding types are compared and the mechanism of vibration is discussed. It was concluded that the novel detached winding could mitigate the vibration of dual three-phase AFPMSMs. Finally, the vibration test is carried out to validate the theoretical analysis and the experimental results agree well-with the simulation results. This paper provides an effective method for double-stator permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSMs) to reduce vibration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper first studies the electromagnetic force and vibration characteristics of the permanent-magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance machines (PM-SynRMs). First, an analytical method to calculate the radial force is proposed based on the Maxwell stress tensor method. The temporal and spatial orders of radial force are obtained by two-dimensional fast Fourier transform, then the combination of stator slots and rotor virtual slots of PM-SynRMs is proposed to give a guideline for the initial design of PM-SynRM to achieve low noise and vibration. A PM-SynRM is designed and a multiphysics model for electromagnetic vibration is established. The radial and tangential force under no-load and load conditions are calculated by finite element method, and then compared with the analysis results. Modal analysis is implemented to capture the structural parameters of the stator. Based on the proposed multiphysics model, the vibration responses under both no-load and load conditions are calculated through modal superposition method. Finally, a PM-SynRM is built and vibration test is performed to investigate its vibration characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, stator dc current excited vernier reluctance machines (dc-VRMs) which have concentrated field and armature windings in stator, are gaining more and more research interest due to their features of robustness rotor structure, low cost, and easy heat dissipation. This paper proposes a novel field winding connection for dc-VRMs. Taking the stator/rotor slots of 12/10 machine as an example, the electromagnetic performance including back electromotive force (EMF), pulsating torque, and capability are analyzed using the theoretical and finite element analysis. The results show that compared with the previous machine having the same stator/rotor slots, machine with the proposed field winding connections exhibits a doubling back EMF, and 60% higher torque density.
