Ilhem Bouchareb, Amar Bentounsi, Abdesselam Lebaroud . Torque Analysis of Faulty SRM using FEA-TFR Approach. International Journal of Computer Applications. 61, 4 ( January 2013), 28-35. DOI=10.5120/9916-4517
This paper presents an analysis of effects of dynamic air-gap eccentricity on the performances of a 6/4 Switched Reluctance Machine (SRM) through finite element analysis (FEA) based on a FEMM package associated to MATLAB/SIMULINK package software. Among the various Time-Frequency methods used for detection of defects, the Time-Frequency Representation (TFR) is an appropriate tool to detect the mechanical failures through the torque analysis by allowing a better representation independent from the type of fault. Simulation results of healthy and faulty cases are discussed and illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
