Analysis of electromagnetic vibration of submerged tubular linear motors based on wave propagation approach

This paper presents the properties of electromagnetic vibration in a submerged tubular linear induction motor through an analytical model. Firstly, the spatial and temporal characteristics of electromagnetic force acting in the stator are analyzed. Subsequently, based on the wave propagation approach, an analytical model is established to calculate the vibration response of the stator, which is simplified as a finite -length cylindrical shell. The accuracy of the proposed model is verified by comparing natural frequencies of axial breathing modes and frequency response with the finite element method. Finally, the effects of the position of electromagnetic force, the spatial distribution of electromagnetic force, radial static pressure and structure parameters on vibration response are investigated and discussed. Some conclusions are outlined, which is of great importance to reduce electromagnetic vibrations by optimizing the structure design of the motor.
