  • Abstract
    Two disadvantages of the switched reluctance motor (SRM) are its torque ripple and acoustic noise. Previous work on vibration modes and resonant frequencies of the laminations of an 8-6 SRM is extended here to include the effects of the frame. Both a smooth frame and a ribbed frame are examined and the presence of numerous additional vibratory modes in the ribbed frame demonstrated. Accelerometer tests behind a pole verify some of the theoretical predictions.
