Recently, various applications of permanent-magnet(PM) electric motor have been more increased. Compared with the other electric motors, PM electric motor has cogging torque which results from the interaction between PM of rotor and slot-teeth structure of stator. Audible noise and vibration is caused by this cogging torque. So, the reduction of cogging torque is main designing goal of PM electric motor. The purpose of this paper is to realize the decrease of cogging torque using new experimental design and response surface analysis which is one of the statistical methodologies.

This paper investigated application of fractional-slot concentrated-winding axial flux permanent magnet machines for wind turbines. Design criteria of cogging torque and voltage regulation was firstly proposed for this kind of application. Fractional winding has small cogging torque which is highlight for wind turbines, but slot leakage inductance would increase voltage regulation, which is an important performance index of generators. By varying slot opening, cogging torque and slot leakage inductance could be adjusted. In this paper, cogging torque and inductances were calculated by both analytical and finite element methods. Voltage regulation was studied by two-axis model under unity-power-factor load and verified by transient finite element analysis.

This paper describes an approach to design a interior permanent magnet motor(IPM motor) for the reduction of cogging torque. The magnitude of the torque ripple and cogging torque in a interior permanent magnet motor(IPM motor) are generally dependent on several major factors: the shape of stator tooth tip, slot opening width, air gap length, the shape of barrier preventing flux leakage of magnets, magnet configuration and magnetization distribution or magnet poles. In this paper, the IPM BLDC motor is designed considering a saturated leakag flux between the barriers on the rotor for increasing the efficiency and decreasing the magnitude of the cogging torque. Analytical model is developed for the IPM BLDC motor with a concentrated winding stator. The results verifies that the proposed design approach is very efficient and effective in reducing the cogging torque and the torque ripple of the IPM BLDC motor to be used in an electric vehicle.

The torque characteristics of a surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) are analyzed in this study. The harmonics of the back electromotive force (EMF) and cogging torque are analyzed by the finite element method to study their effects on the torque ripple. Although low cogging torque can be achieved by varying geometric parameters such as the permanent magnet (PM) offset and notch depth on the stator teeth, the torque ripple is increased in some cases. The analysis results show that the ripple of the generated torque is determined by not only the amplitudes but also the phases of harmonics for the back EMF and cogging torque.

Cogging torque, the primary ripple component in the torque generated by permanent magnet (PM) motors, is due to the slotting on the stator or rotor. This article shows the reduction of cogging torque in a novel axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) motor through the various design schemes. 3D finite element method is used for the exact magnetic field analysis. The effects of slot shapes and skewing of slot on the cogging torque and the average torque have been investigated in detail.

One of the principal sources of vibration and noise in permanent magnetic machines is cogging torque, which is induced by interaction between the rotor poles and the stator teeth. For its analysis, using finite element analysis is very time consuming and the calculation of performance factors is extremely sensitive to the discretization. Especially, Maxwell stress tensor method is sensitive to the location of integral path. In this paper, a cogging permeance fuction is defined and replaced by the straight line. And it is assumed that the flux density acting on the stator's tooth side is the euqal to the flux density of the slot area. Using this definition and assumption, analytical calculation of cogging torque is presented and validated. And several reduction method is introduced.

The analysis of the permanent type synchronous motor is performed by using the finite element method (FEM). The optimal design of the permanent magnet is presented for minimizing cogging torque in this paper. The cogging torque is expressed in terms of scalar potential computed by the virtual work formula. The minimization of cogging torque is achieved by using the ( ${\mu}$ + ${\lambda}$ ) Evolution Strategy (ES) and the selected flux densities are used to a constraint.

The vibration soucre of motor has a electromagnetic and mechanical causes. The most widely known, electromagnetic reasons are cogging torque and RMF(Radial magnetic force). Recently, analysis of the cogging torque has been made actively. but analysis of the RMF was not filled. So, in this paper, analyzed RMF. the vibration test were performed for the basic and reduced model of cogging torque and RMF. And it analyzed for the effect of each factor on the vibration. Finally, the vibration was formulated for stator's weight and RMF. To this end, natural, cogging torque and RMF of frequency were analyzed and these relationships were considered.

In the slotted motor, cogging torque is generated due to the interaction between the rotor magnets and the slots on the stator. It is well known that cogging torque produces vibration and noise which may be detrimental to the performance of position and speed control system. Hence, the prediction of cogging torque is very important at the design stage of BLDC motor. In this paper, permanent magnets with different arc an91e of inner and outer radius is proposed. The cogging torque of proposed model and conventional one is analyzed by 2-D FEM and compared.

Ships have been propelled and maneuvered by electrical drives since trle late seventies. Recently, rare earth PMs allow the design of brushless motors with very high efficiency over a wide speed range. This is the most important factor in ship propulsion technology. Several types PM motors have been developing for ship propulsion system. However these have disadvantage such as cogging torque. It causes an undesired effect that contributes to output ripple, vibration, and noise of machine. Therefore several techniques may be adopted in designing PM motor in order to reduce the cogging torque. This paper describes cogging torque receding methods such as adjusting arigap length, magnet arc, and magnet thickness. That are analysed by using the finite element method(FEM) and the maxwell stress tensor method.
