Abstract: Electrical machines that can run at high speeds are more and more studied as they can respond to the increasing need of power onboard of aircrafts. However, to allow high-speed operability mechanical handling of the rotating parts need to be insured. In this paper an analytic design process of a novel high-speed induction machine is presented. The analytical magnetic and mechanical models developed are presented and validated with finite element simulations. The magnetic model is based on a classic equivalent electrical diagram of induction machine with a specific adaptation for the rotor leakage inductance as the squirrel cage is buried. The mechanical model is based on a field displacement approach leading to the stress tensor in all the rotating part. A four degrees of freedom vibration analysis model considering gyroscopic effects based on Euler–Lagrange equation allows to identify the critical speeds of the system. It is shown that some geometrical parameters will have opposed effects on the two physics. Thus, an optimization-based coupling between the different physics allows to design rapidly the desired machine regarding any technical specifications as analytical models are being used.
