Sound and vibrations: fundamentals for electrical engineers

This technical bibliography comes from EOMYS technical training on the fundamental of noise and vibrations for electrical engineers. It is regularly updated based on EOMYS consulting experience in troubleshoot and reduction of noise & vibrations in electrical machines and drives.

Electrical engineers can no longer design electrical machines focusing on electromagnetics, structural strength and heat transfer. Noise and vibration levels are a key design criterion in many electrical system applications for health, comfort or reliability purpose. More and more standards include acoustic and vibration requirements, so electrical engineers must get familiar with NVH and integrate it during the early design process of electrical machines using Manatee software. This requires electrical engineers to collaborate with NVH engineers and share the same vocabulary.
