Electrical machines and drives: fundamentals for mechanical / NVH engineers

This technical bibliography comes from EOMYS technical training on the fundamental of electrical engineering for mechanical / NVH engineers. It is regularly updated based on EOMYS consulting experience in solving noise & vibration problems in electrical machines and drives.

NVH and mechanical engineers face a new type of excitations with the electrification trend.  Electromagnetic forces are present in many different electromechanical systems, resulting in unpleasant noise and increased tonality. As the best way to reduce NVH levels is to reduce the excitation mechanism by an optimized electrical design or avoid their resonance with some particular structural modes, NVH engineers and mechanical engineers must collaborate with electrical engineers, and share the same vocabulary. Manatee e-NVH software is designed to ease this close collaboration across different engineering disciplines.
