Abstract
The paper presents an investigation into the noise generated by structural vibration of an electric motor used in appliance products using Computational Simulation Approach. In particular, a 3-D numerical simulation model is specifically developed to predict the frequency response of the stator under three different simulation conditions: radial force only, tangential force only and the combination of both forces. The obtained data is used to analyze the acoustic generation in the far-field. Experimental is used to validate the predicted results. It shows the predicted results are very close to experimental results.
