A quiet induction motor is strongly demanded today. Electromagnetic factors are a main cause of vibration and acoustic noise in a small induction motor. Electromagnetic forces and magnetostrictive forces are considered as the origin of electromagnetic vibration and noise. In this paper, magnetostrictive vibration of a ring of electrical steel sheets was simulated by the mechanical finite element method. Magnetostriction was assumed as external forces and they were added at each node of the meshed ring. Resonant frequency and the mode of the ring were calculated. In the steel sheet ring excited by a PWM voltage source inverter, the frequency spectrum of vibration of ring was measured and compared with the calculated results. It was confirmed that these procedures simulated magnetostriction behavior of electrical steel sheets. Furthermore, the electromagnetic forces of a small induction motor were calculated and compared with the magnetostriction data. It became clear that electromagnetic vibration was affected by the magnetostriction of steel. These results will be useful in the reduction of acoustic noise and the development of quiet motors. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
