“…Among various types of ac motors, the permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are increasingly used in the industrial applications (e.g., electric vehicles (EVs), machine tools, industrial robots, home appliances, etc.) owing to their outstanding advantages such as high efficiency, compact size, low maintenance cost, high power density, high reliability, and high torque-to-inertia ratio [1] [3]. In the surfacemounted PMSMs (SPMSMs), it is necessary to reduce the torque ripples that cause undesirable acoustic noises, torsional vibrations, and shaft failures [4] [6].…”
