Drive motors, which are used in the drive modules of electric cars, are interior permanent magnet motors. These motors tend to have high cogging torque and torque ripple, which leads to the generation of high vibration and noise. Several studies have attempted to determine methods of reducing the cogging torque and torque ripple in interior permanent magnet motors. The primary methods of reducing the cogging torque involve either electric control or mechanical means. Herein, the authors focused on a mechanical method to reduce the cogging torque and torque ripple. Although various methods of reducing vibration and noise mechanically exist, there is no widely-known comparative analyses on reducing the vibration and noise by designing a notched rotor shape. Therefore, this paper proposes a method of reducing vibration and noise mechanically by designing a notched rotor shape. In the comparative analysis performed herein, the motor stator and rotor were set to be the same size, and electromagnetic field analysis was performed to determine a notch shape that is suitable for the rotor and that generates reasonable vibration and noise.

The prediction of the magnetic field is a prerequisite to investigate the motor performance. This paper focuses on the magnetic field estimation of surface-mounted permanent-magnet (SMPM) motors based on two approximations, i.e., the magnetic circuit analysis and the finite-element analysis (FEA). An equivalent magnetic circuit model is applied to analytically evaluate the magnetic field of a SMPM motor with exterior-rotor configuration. The two-dimensional FEA is then applied to numerically calculate the magnetic field and to verify the validity of the magnetic circuit model. The results show that the errors between the analytical predictions and FEA results are less than 6%. It is of benefit to further design purposes and optimization of SMPM motors.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the magnetostatic field of disk-type permanent-magnet motors by utilizing the 1-D equivalent magnetic circuit approach and the finite-element method. A 1-D equivalent magnetic circuit model, which is analogous to an electric circuit model, of the disk-type permanent-magnet motor is proposed. The accuracy of the analytical model is verified by a commercial 3-D finite-element analysis (FEA) package. The result shows that the air-gap flux density is in good agreement with an acceptable error of about 1.66%. The presented magnetic circuit approach is not only an accurate technique in predicting the magnetostatic field of disk-type permanent-magnet motors, but also effectively reduces the computing time. It is especially suitable for the preliminary design and optimization of permanent-magnet motors with axial-flux topologies.

This paper studies the torque production mechanism of the dual-stator axial-field flux-switching permanent magnet (DSAFFSPM) machine. Due to the double-sided slotting design of such topology, more resultant air-gap working harmonics in the air-gap flux density are responsible for the torque production and the stator air-gap permeance is especially considered in the investigation. Based on the magnetic force (MMF)-permeance model, the composition and difference of the air-gap working harmonics are demonstrated. The DSAFFSPM machine torque contributions of the main working harmonics are analyzed theoretically and quantified by finite element analysis (FEA). The influence laws of the parameters on the working harmonics are shown and this effectively improves the motor operation performance. Finally, some experiments on the DSAFFSPM machine are carried out to validate the analytical and FEA results.
