In an historical context, the development of electromagnetic theory and anaylsis has undergone many evolutionary changes since the 19th century.  Faraday's 1831 discovery of the magnetic induction principle was at first a scientific curisoity, then a subject of intense intellectual activity resulting in the infication of the macroscopic electromagnetic principles through Maxwell's equations. One of the subdisciplines created by the discovery of electromagnetic induction and its theoretical foundation was the anaylsis of specific arrangements of ponderable bodies, including conductors which interact with electromagnetic fields to produce the measurable phyiscal effects which we call heat and mechanical force.  This book is intended neither as a suppliment or replacement for previous texts, however, a number of conductor arrangements are covered here which are not done elsewhere.  It is primarily for industrial use; where insight into the physical processes may be of practical value.

Controlling the level of noise in electrical motors is critical to overall system performance. However, predicting noise of an electrical motor is more difficult and less accurate than for other characteristics such as torque-speed. Recent advances have produced powerful computational methods for noise prediction, and Noise of Polyphase Electric Motors is the first book to collect these advances in a single source. It is also the first to include noise prediction for permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motors.Complete coverage of all aspects of electromagnetic, structural, and vibro-acoustic noise makes this a uniquely comprehensive reference. The authors begin with the basic principles of noise generation and radiation, magnetic field and radial forces, torque pulsations, acoustic calculations, as well as noise and vibration of mechanical and acoustic origin. Moving to applications, the book examines in detail stator system vibration analysis including the use of finite element method (FEM) modal analysis; FEM for radial pressure and structural modeling; boundary element methods (BEM) for acoustic radiation; statistical energy analysis (SEA); instrumentation including technologies, procedures, and standards; and both passive and active methods for control of noise and vibration.Noise of Polyphase Electric Motors gathers the fundamental concepts along with all of the analytical, numerical, and statistical methods into a unified reference. It supplies all of the tools necessary to improve the noise performance of electrical motors at the design stage.
