Rotor vibrations in electrical machines due to electromagnetic forces

Abstract

The rotor vibrations caused by rotor unbalance and electromagnetic forces are investigated for a two-pole induction machine. Using Timoshenko beam elements, the heterogeneous assembly of the rotor is modeled and the different material properties are considered. The nonlinear simulation includes effects of rotor unbalance and the unbalanced magnetic pull (UMP). Machine parameters influencing the unbalanced magnetic pull are varied to analyze their impact on the rotor vibration.
