In recent dynamic problems dealing with high-frequency excitations, such as ultrasonic vibrations, a proper representation of rods transmitting kinetic energy from the interface attached to the vibrating system to the other end is strongly demanded for effectively reducing computational time and domain. A highly reduced lumped parameter model that properly simulates the dynamic characteristics of a uniform, isotropic, homogeneous, and viscoelastic rod subjected to excitations at its end is proposed in this paper. The model consists of springs, dashpots, and so called “gyro-mass elements.” The gyro-mass element generates a reaction force proportional to the relative acceleration of the nodes between which it is placed. This model consists of units arranged in series, each unit consisting of a spring, a dashpot, and a gyro-mass element arranged in parallel. A formula is proposed for determining the properties of the elements in the units based on the modal expansion. The results show that a notable reduction of 90% in the degrees of freedom is accomplished with high accuracy by using the proposed model consisting of a set of units associated with modes in a target frequency region and a supplemental unit associated with residual stiffness, which is advantageous for efficient numerical computations in recent dynamic problems.

The rare-earth (RE) permanent magnets (PM) have been increasingly adopted in traction motor application. However, the RE PM is expensive, less abundant, and has cost uncertainties due to limited market suppliers. This paper presents a new design of a RE-free five-phase ferrite permanent magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance motor (Fe-PMaSynRM) with the external rotor architecture with a high saliency ratio. In such architecture, the low magnetic coercivity and demagnetization risk of the ferrite PM is the challenge. This limits the number of flux barriers, saliency ratio, and reluctance torque. A precise analytical design procedure of rotor and stator configuration is presented with differential evolution numerical optimizations by utilizing a lumped parameter model. A 3.7 kW prototype is fabricated to validate the proposed idea.
