  • Abstract
    Nonuniform air gaps in electrical machines cause problems with forces and noise. There are a number of analytical and numerical methods to calculate the response due to nonuniform air gaps. In this paper, we present an efficient method based on an effective air gap permeability. Our unified method enables all nonuniform rotor-stator configurations to be simulated. We provide some results from simulations of static and dynamic eccentricity as well as irregularity.
