Purpose This paper aims to present an analytical method, which combines the complex permeance (CP) and the superposition concept, to predict the air-gap magnetic field distribution in surface-mounted permanent-magnet (SMPM) machines with eccentric air-gap. Design/methodology/approach The superposition concept is used twice; first, to predict the magnetic field distribution in slot-less machine with eccentric air-gap, the machine is divided into a number of sections. Then, for each section, an equivalent air-gap length is determined, and the magnetic field distribution is predicted as a concentric machine model. The air-gap field in the slot-less machine with eccentricity can be combined from these concentric models. Second, the superposition concept is used to find the CP under eccentricity fault. At this end, the original machine is divided into a number of sections which may be different from the one for slot-less magnetic field prediction, and for each section, the CP is obtained by equivalent air-gap length of that section. Finally, the air-gap magnetic field distribution is predicted by multiplying the slot-less magnetic field distribution and the obtained CP. Findings The radial and tangential components of the air-gap magnetic flux density are obtained using the proposed method analytically. The finite element analysis is used to validate the proposed method results, showing good agreements with the analytical results. Originality/value This paper addresses the eccentricity fault impact upon the air-gap magnetic field distribution of SMPM machines. This is done by a combined analysis of the complex permeance (CP) method and the superposition concept. This contrasts to previous studies which have instead focused on the subdomain method.

With the slice tool in finite element software Magnet, 3D magnetic field distribution in airgap of an axial flux permanent magnet motor (AFPMM) is studied. Then analytical method, finite element method and average radius method are used to calculate the airgap magnetic flux of per pole respectively. The results which are gotten through these methods are approximate and can reflect per pole magnetic flux of AFPMM generally. The above research has achieved anticipated effect and provided a basis for the calculation of AFPMM airgap magnetic field.
