THE MAGNETOSTRICTION FORCES IN THE INDUCTION MOTOR

Abstract

The paper describes how the classical formula of the Maxwell magnetic stress tensor may be extended to cover the magnetostriction phenomena. It is assumed that the ferromagnetic continuum is isotropic and conservative. The method takes into account the magnetic nonlinearity and it assumes that mechanical deflections are sufficiently small to neglect the nonlinearity of the Hooke's law. The paper presents also the experimental method, which has been used to measure the magnetostriction intensity for electrotechnical laminations. As the final result, the distribution of the volume magnetostriction forces acting on the stator core of the induction motor has been calculated.
