  • Patent number: 10855139
    Abstract: The electric motor includes a frame defining an inner volume (VI) wherein is accommodated a rotor, a stator and a fan, the frame comprising a first aperture placing the inner volume (VI) of the frame in fluidic communication with the outside of the frame, a second aperture placing the internal volume (VI) of the frame in fluidic communication with the outside of the frame along a radial axis (R) substantially perpendicular to an axis of rotation (X) of the rotor. The fan being positioned in proximity to the second aperture and being configured for generating a gas fluid flow (F), at least one acoustic attenuation device is accommodated in the second aperture so as to partly close the second aperture.

  • Patent number: 7500299
    Abstract: A method to introduce a deliberate mismatch into a turbomachine bladed wheel so as to reduce vibration amplitudes of the wheel in forced response. The method includes a step of determining an optimum value of the standard deviation for the mismatch as a function of operating conditions of the wheel inside the turbomachine, with respect to the maximum vibration amplitude response required on the wheel. The method further includes a step of at least partly placing blades with different natural frequencies on the wheel such that the standard deviation of the frequency distribution of all blades is equal to at least the mismatch value, the mismatch value being determined statistically.
