Although many empirical rules have been established for correctly choosing the number of stator and rotor slots so as to limit the audible magnetic noise level radiated by induction machines, these rules never take into account the stator natural frequencies or the fact that the motor is run at variable speed. In this paper, we present a fast simulation tool for the variable-speed magnetic noise emitted by induction machines, based on fully analytical models. On the basis of these models, we derive and experimentally validate an analytical expression for magnetic vibrations due to slotting reluctance harmonics, confirming the prime importance of slot combination in magnetic noise radiation. We ran simulations on a 700-W squirrel-cage motor in order to quantify the noise emitted by all possible combinations of slot numbers in two- and three-pole pairs, including odd slot numbers. We thus obtained a database that efficiently replaces the old empirical rules for slot combination numbers and helps in designing quiet induction motors. Similar databases can be built for other power ranges.

Efficient Approach Based on Equivalent Electric Circuit Model to Determine Rotor Bar Currents of Squirrel Cage Induction Machines

J. Marault, A. Tounzi, F. Gillon, M. Hecquet

Summary: The finite element method is the most accurate approach to study electrical machines, but its use in optimization processes can be unsuitable due to long calculation times. An alternative analytical approach using an equivalent circuit based on bar lumped parameters is proposed in this article for squirrel cage induction machines.

Low cost 3D printing of metals using filled polymer pellets

Vincent Martin, Jean-Francois Witz, Frederic Gillon, Denis Najjar, Philippe Quaegebeur, Abdelkader Benabou, Michel Hecquet, Emmanuel Berte, Francois Lesaffre, Matthieu Meersdam, Delphine Auzene

Summary: Currently, additive manufacturing of metallic materials using expensive tools with limited control and modification options is a common practice. To address this issue and make metal parts printing more accessible and suitable for academic research, a mixture of thermoplastic polymer and metal powder is proposed. By utilizing a granular feedstock in the form of pellets and the Fused Granular Fabrication 3D printing technology, a cost-effective solution is implemented by modifying a mid-range printer and adding a compact granulates extruder.
