Popis: This study presents the design and analysis of the segmented rotor design for an electrical machine embedded onto the more electric aircraft gas turbine engine shaft. The high-speed operational environment imposes high stress levels due to centrifugal forces; thus, the feasibility of this segmented rotor topology for such application is explored and a suitable design is proposed to overcome mechanical stresses. Finite element structural analysis was performed to compare the mechanical behaviour of a different rotor segment fixing structure and the proposed design. Also, electromagnetic analysis is carried out on a high-speed switched reluctance machine to study the impact of a new design on machine electromagnetic performance.
