“…Bi et al [172] revealed that lead wires can generate severe UMF in permanent magnet synchronous motor, especially at high speed and propose several ways to reduce lead wire asymmetry. Oliveira et al [173] proposed an equipotential bonding method to change the magnetic attraction force on the circumference of a rotor, and thereby reducing the UMF.…”

Electrical machines are important devices that convert electric energy into mechanical work and are widely used in industry and people's life. Undesired vibrations are harmful to their safe operation. Reviews from the viewpoint of fault diagnosis have been conducted, while summaries from the perspective of dynamics is rare. This review provides systematic research outlines of this field, which can help a majority of scholars grasp the ongoing progress and conduct further investigations. This review mainly generalizes publications in the past decades about the dynamics and vibration of electrical machines. First the sources of electromagnetic vibration in electrical machines are presented, which include mechanical and electromagnetic factors. Different types of air gap eccentricity are introduced and modeled. The analytical methods and numerical methods for calculating the electromagnetic force are summarized and explained in detail. The exact subdomain analysis, magnetic equivalent circuit, Maxwell stress tensor, winding function approach, conformal mapping method, virtual work principle and finite element analysis are presented. The effects of magnetic saturation, slot and pole combination and load are discussed. Then typical characteristics of electromagnetic vibration are illustrated. Finally, the experimental studies are summarized and the authors give their thoughts about the research trends.Energies 2018, 11, 1779 2 of 33 vibration mechanism can be helpful for the design of electrical machines. Therefore, the study of the electromagnetic vibration of electrical machines has practical significance.Electromagnetic vibrations are usually generated by the distorted air-gap field of an eccentric rotor in electrical machines. The uneven air-gap is directly related to the eccentricity, which is common in rotating electrical machines. Eccentricity can be caused by several reasons, such as relative misalignment of the rotor and stator in the fixing stage, misalignment of the load axis and rotor shaft, elliptical stator inner cross section, wrong placement or rubbing of ball bearings, mechanical resonance, and unbalanced loads [1,2]. Eccentricities can be further subdivided into two categories: circumferential unequal air gaps and axial unequal air gaps. The former can be grouped into static eccentricity and dynamic eccentricity. In the case of static eccentricity, the rotor rotates around its own geometric axis, which is not the geometric axis of the stator. In the case of dynamic eccentricity, the rotor is not concentric and rotates around the geometric axis of the stator. In reality, both static eccentricity and dynamic eccentricity tend to coexist. An inherent static eccentricity exists, even in newly manufactured machines, due to the build-up of tolerances during the manufacturing and assembly procedure, as has been reported in [3]. Unequal air gaps cause unbalanced magnetic forces (UMFs) [4] on the rotor, which lead to mechanical stress on some part of the shaft and bearing. After prolonged operation, these fac...
