e-NVH benchmark

Objectives

This article presents the e-NVH testbench developped by EOMYS in collaboration with L2EP and LSEE laboratories. The aim of this tesbench is to provide an “open source” testbed illustrating of a simple electrical machine excited by magnetic forces to be used for reproducible science in the field of e-motor vibroacoustics and especially EV HEV NVH. Data presented in this article can be used to compare different testing methods or different simulation methods for noise and vibration due to electromagnetic forces. Test data and simulation output data should be provided as much as possible in non-proprietary readable format (.unv, .txt, .csv). Each dataset will be published in the open data repository Zenodo allowing clean versioning and referencing.

The testbench will be also used to illustrate the following e-NVH effects:
