Abstract

This paper presents a 3-D finite-element modal analysis to reduce the acoustical power radiated by a brushless permanent-magnet synchronous machines and avoid any resonance phenomena. The method is able to analyze the impact of some design parameters on all the resonance frequencies for reducing the total sound power and gives some guidelines to their choice. A less noisy prototype has been analyzed in simulation without any acoustic calculation and then built and validated with experimental results.
